Voting Procedure

Users who want to give their votes to one or more candidates may do so by broadcasting a message with the following parameters:

  1. text = XCPELECTION2016 + Candidate Number
  2. value = votes

For more information on how to publish a broadcast read our Broadcast Tutorial.

NOTE: There is currently a one-broadcast-per-block limitation when using Counterwallet. If you want to publish multiple votes, please wait while the block containing your first broadcast is published on the blockchain and then create the second broadcast.

Rules

  • One user can make several broadcasts
  • The sum total of the values must be less than the balance of the
    source address at the close of the voting period

Valid Example

  • User has 50 XCP in his address at the end of the voting.

  • User broadcasts: text=XCPELECTION2016 1, value=20

  • User broadcasts: text=XCPELECTION2016 2, value=30

  • Both votes are valid and will be taken into account

Invalid Example

  • User has 50 XCP in his address at the end of the voting.

  • User broadcasts, text=XCPELECTION2016 1, value=50

  • User broadcasts, text=XCPELECTION2016 2, value=30

  • The second vote is invalid as the user already spent 50 XCP in his
    first message

2 - Jeremy Johnson aka “J-Dog”
3 - Trevor Altpeter
4 - Matt Young
