ITT: Litterally buying the removal of a project from the whitelist.

explain the difference between
a)buying X amount of GRC from a someone an exchange for Y amount of $ and voting with them
b)paying Y amount of $ to someone with X amount of GRC to vote with them

A -> They purchased the GRC to vote with themselves.
B -> They're using less GRC than A to summon a greater possible vote weight than via A.

It's not appropriate to demand a voting intention when paying, it if it was rewarding all parties then that'd be fine.

i understand that people tend to think within the current paradigm, however you should ask yourself the overarching question:
if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so (by banning/shaming/restricting etc.)?

You're missing the point I think... @cm-steem is saying you are trying to buy the removal of a project, and you have straw-manned that argument into

if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so

So, yes, you are trying to buy project removal. That being said, I think Moo! Wrapper should be removed.

well, saying that i am trying to buy the removal (via the 8.7 GRC that i sent back to grc-lf) is not an argument. it is a fact. my point was why are you guys acting like it a shameful/immoral thing? i can give you the scientific philosophy arguments, or i can tell you if you remove a project you get (1/(n-1))-(1/n) increase in your daily gains, or i tell you that seeing this project go is worth 8.7 grc to me and i am willing to give it to you. i don't see any problem with any of this. i would like to hear moral philosophy arguments to the contrary, not the usual, omg they are buying votes slogans.

my point was why are you guys acting like it a shameful/immoral thing?

Because free speech? I can voice my disapproval, it's not an attack.

if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so

I'm doing no such thing, I'm just posting on Steemit about my own views on the matter. There's nothing you can do to stop such a practice & nobody can ban/restrict you on Steemit. I do think it's better to buy your own vote weight, because that'll create buying pressure, lol.

I really hoped the "movement" would die over night... Now I have to shower again.

I have to say as stupid as it is I do enjoy the way this account writes. However my "vote" -have not actually voted btw.- this time aligns with the goal of the initiative. However I find it to be immensely disingenuous in nature. It really is not afraid of money being able to buy influence -rather it is jealous. "Kill the aristocracy so that we can BE the aristocracy" just isn't a pursuit that I can support.

And no this is not the same as the campaign finance issue, because when it comes to an actual vote in a democracy if it is a halway-decently functioning one you won't get away with creating fake IDs to vote for too long... And when it comes to GRC the fake ID is completely legit.

I wondered where that transaction came from!
