RE: Poll to De-list Moo! Wrapper?
I must say I find such a poll a total waste of time. Why vote on a specific project that at the time you feel is not scientific enough? Just make a proposition on adding extra conditions on the whitelist and in that proposition define exactly what makes a project "scientific" enough to be whitelisted. Otherwise people will just keep making polls like this one without a clear goal and at least personally I find it both annoying and also I think it just splits the community every time such a poll is made.
Just make a propositon on changing the whitelist conditions.
I agree with you on that point about potentially changing the whitelist conditions. The poll is still not back on that yet though. It will expire January 30th.
The idea behind it not being considered "scientific" enough was that it is basically wasting electricity like Bitcoin does but in an even worse way because once the project completes all of those resources will have been spent and nothing (besides a small monetary reward) will come of it.
I disagree that the poll is a complete waste of time. Any group of individuals making a choice together is a worthwhile endeavor and will hopefully leave us in a better state of consensus.
The community is already split on this project (atleast a small portion), which is why the poll was created.
I am encouraging people to keep it. I believe that it would be exclusive of us to exclude it, therefore degrading our community's brand and potentially impeding our mission. Gridcoin needs to be inclusive and defend any project that is willing to comply with our current whitelisting parameters.
Someone posted good reasons to keep the project and to not have had the poll in the first place here:
