That's how voting works though if you have to account for stake in the election. One of the reason why so many countries try to get money out of politics right now.

Back to Gridcoin though: One of the reasons you have never staked a block is that the codebase isn't really ready to go 'supersonic' as is -he is trying to address the many issues right now with the rebase as supposed to do it very small. If you really think that Rob could not have made himself rich many times in the past on the back of the community but has refused to do so time and time again then I think you see different things then I do.
