In particular, a user vote of \"0 0\" (no preference) could be included in a block casting any vote, but a block voting \"0 0\" (no preference) could only contain transactions voting \"0 0\" as well.\n\u003e \u003e \n\u003e \u003e Sounds like a good encoding to me. Taking the median of the three\n\u003e \u003e options, and throwing away \"don't care\" votes entirely, makes sense.\n\u003e \n\u003e I hope you mean the *plurality* of the three options after throwing away the \"don't cares,\" not the *median*.\n\nMedian ensures that voting \"no change\" is meaningful. If \"double\" + \"no\nchange\" = 66%-1, you'd expect the result to be \"no change\", not \"halve\"\"\nWith a plurality vote you'd end up with a halving that was supported by\na minority.\n\n-- \n'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org\n0000000000000000127ab1d576dc851f374424f1269c4700ccaba2c42d97e778\n-------------- next part --------------\nA non-text attachment was scrubbed...\nName: signature.asc\nType: application/pgp-signature\nSize: 650 bytes\nDesc: Digital signature\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150612/ba7a2a93/attachment.sig\u003e"}
