I’ve noticed this wallet doing this…
…then this…
…and a bit of both in-between. Obviously this user doesn’t care about voting, and is obviously trading, which I already mentioned in a couple of previous threads that it might be an issue.
Now, I’d love to know if all these trades count as one vote (for the same wallet) or many votes (for each transaction). I’m asking because the concern is clear - there are users like this one that don’t really care if they’re voting for or against a proposal, they just wanna make a buck.
Unfortunately it seems this proposal might fail, a very important proposal for the future of $CLOUD I might say, and I’d love to know if this trading behavior has something to do with it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

As i understood, voting is calculated by wallet and staked amount and length of staking?

I think this is how it works….please correct me if I’m wrong
voting weight is based on $ amount voted (if you think this proposal will do good for CLOUD, how much CLOUD would you be willing to buy for this proposal to be realized and vice versa)
Staking score will be for ASR and potentially be for enabling community members to push draft proposals into deliberation with a certain amount accumulated

People trying to make money are not a flaw but a fundamental feature of the futarchy system.
Assuming an efficient market, speculation like this, should drive voting outcome to the most beneficial outcome.

It may be a part of the futarchy model, but many members don’t want it in their voting system. Desired by the deveIopers maybe, but I disagree on it being fundamental or necessary. I don’t think a “beneficial outcome” involves those trying to make a buck, or speculating. While it’s not a flaw, for some it is unwelcomed to say the least. My opinions of course

There is no problem with front running and making money. But in governance, this is a problem for some. Many feel governance and trading should not be mixed. Just a fact my friend.
More of an opinion than a fact. Because when people vote on subjects they are trading on the outcome in the bsckground. At least this is being honest about.
You’re misunderstanding bud. The fact is that many people don’t like mixing governance and trading. Very simple and true statement. The pros and cons of the model is always debatable.
