Even more concerningly, the talk discussion indicates that proponents of a specific, obscure crypto-currency are being directed to this wiki vote as a group. While this vote is currently failing, I believe the vote is invalid and should be shut down. This vote does not represent a confirmation/documentation of community consensus as intended by the proposal process. As such, we should not allow it to proceed further.<br></div><div><br></div><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 9:04 AM András Fuchs <<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:andras.fuchs@gmail.com">andras.fuchs@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><code>Voting has started for Cryptocurrencies with payment tag. </code><br></div><div><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Cryptocurrencies_with_payment_tag" target="_blank"><code>https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Cryptocurrencies_with_payment_tag</code></a><br></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div> Tagging mailing list<br></div><div> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:Tagging@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">Tagging@openstreetmap.org</a><br></div><div> <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging</a><br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div> </body>
