Where did the "keep SourceFinder" voters make their magnitudes?

in gridcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

Fellow Computeers! 

We are all united around one goal: to put our machines and energy behind a good cause. What better cause than science? What better platform than a decentralized blockchain?

However, not all is roses and sunshine. As you know, there have been some issues with a recently white-listed project (SourceFinder). The project has been unable to issue work units in a timely and fair fashion. As a result, the magnitude calculations have become biased: workers who worked relatively little on this project are getting huge magnitudes because there are no new work units being issued. They are getting buckets for no work while the rest of us have to toil away for every coin.  

A new poll has been created to decide if SourceFinder should be de-listed. While the majority of the workers are voting in favor of the removal, we notice a considerable vote share that supports the current state of affairs. We would like to bring to your attention the origin of these vote shares; in other words, we ask: Where did the keep SourceFinder voters make their magnitudes?

While all this is public information, we believe it is an insight into the mindset that plagues some of those among our ranks. Let us strive for higher virtues!

I can somehow understand why you did this, but can totally not support this as in my opinion this belongs into the category witchhunting. Although it's public information displaying it this way makes it wrong. You also don't take into consideration that they may support a "sourcefinder greylist" poll.

It should be a democratic process and anyone can vote as he wants.

Thank you for your comment. To rephrase: our aim is to highlight the dichotomy of a democratic voting process, where:

  • the vote is about de-listing a project delivering unfair magnitudes
  • some are voting against the de-listing with the unfairly acquired magnitudes

Displaying public information makes it accessible. There is no point in contributing to an immutable public ledger if we are going to shun people for making use of these features.

Just because you think this would be unfair acquired mag doesn't mean that it's the case. Everyone had the chance to crunch the sourcefinder workunits, if more people had done so the mag would be more split, thats right.

Right now sourcefinder is contributing 130 to my Mag, and this also wasn't easy as there were several problems with the workunits.
Still i would vote for delist sourcefinder (let's wait for the greylist proposal).

But your attitude and this post really make me want to vote against the delisting.
You are not even comparing this with those sourcefinder crunchers who vote for the delisting, you are not comparing it with anything.

All you do is pointing out some individuals for their choice in a democratic process, because it's different from your choice.

You also didn't do this for accessability, all this data is EASY accessible on gridcoinstats.eu.

So yes, this is a witchhunting post and it should be flagged.

It is in the nature of a functioning democracy to advocate one's own belief. The merit of the belief is to be determined by the public.

By flagging our post you aim to hinder others from reading it. We hope that the irony of your last sentence is not lost on the readers.

this is a witchhunting post and it should be flagged.

Just read the Steemit FAQ, flagging is just a downvote. Your post will only become invisible if a lot more people think it's bad content.

I'm also not really surprised by this post of yours, after your last idea was to buy votes for the delist Moo proposal.

Hi. Little fish here, tough I have no interest in voting "No" to this poll, I did it and I will explain why....
First of all, I'm not crunching on this project so it's out of any personal interest.
I only thought that delisting a project was such a "so-long-reversible" thing and that's why I approved the other poll to greylist projects.
If we can greylist projects, I think sourcefinder must be greylisted right now, to be whitelisted when it will work better.
If this first poll doesn't go on, then I will change my vote to delist this project because, right now, it isn't working well and MAG calculations are effectively biased...
I'm sorry for my english, don't be hurted by anything, I wanted to give another explanation with my personal opinion.
Don't worry and be crunching guys !

Please accept our apologies if you felt that this post was directed against all "No" voters. This is not our intent. Our aim is to highlight that a significant amount of the No vote shares are due to unfairly gained magnitudes.

I can see why they would vote yes to keep it.
