So miners get to vote but they&#xA;risk losing money by having to exclude counter voting transactions. But&#xA;garbage transactions are no problem at all.&#xA;&#xA;Note that users that want to cast a vote &#34;pay&#34; for that by increased&#xA;confirmation time (on average, hopefully slightly depending on the trend).&#xA;&#xA;On Fri, Jun 12, 2015, 20:27 Matt Whitlock &lt;bip at mattwhitlock.name&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; On Friday, 12 June 2015, at 11:20 am, Mark Friedenbach wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; Peter it&#39;s not clear to me that your described protocol is free of miner&#xA;&gt; &gt; influence over the vote, by artificially generating transactions which&#xA;&gt; they&#xA;&gt; &gt; claim in their own blocks&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Miners could fill their blocks with garbage transactions that agree with&#xA;&gt; their vote, but this wouldn&#39;t bring them any real income, as they&#39;d be&#xA;&gt; paying their own money as fees to themselves.
