最近数个区块链项目开始通论投票和控制的话题。
EOS、以太坊、比特币和其它项目都认为，区块链应该通过投票控制，但谁来投票呢？
持币人
EOS采用了一个直接的模型，它保证了选民和投票结果确保了100%的一致性和问责制。不管是从技术还是从其它角度来说，这都是目前世界上最成功、应用范围最广的投票模式。
EOS通过结合区块链宪法以及持币人的投票一定程度上定义了矿工的权力范围，来平等管理管理每个人的语气，并将网络管理的权限重新交给受决策影响的人。
非持币人
如果你不允许持币人投票，那就意味着别人要为他们投票。
这种模式将受益人和决策人分开，结果可能不符合持币人的最大利益。这个结构就好比让英国公民代表美国公民给政府投票一样。你可以说其中有一定的联系，但不能说他们是这个结果的直接受益人。这是目前比特币和以太坊的结构模式。
由工作量证明的投票方式很容易导致中心化。不管是硬件还是电费，形成规模以后都更加便宜，这就导致了对矿池的控制；这也继而构成了寡头垄断，结果我们既几乎没办法问责它们的行为也不会直接因为它们的决定受到影响。
以下几个例子让我们知道让别人替我们自己投票的危险性。
比特币扩容——从2015到2017年，区块生产商拒绝在网络容量充足的情况下增加区块规模，从而取得更高的交易费用。
以太坊的The DAO事件——主要的矿池让信息和决策权集中于少数人手中。因为缺少透明度和决策公共框架，所以决策者能够拥有不平等的交易机会，而且几乎不会曝光。这告诉我们，代码不是法律，但是矿池的操作者和投票者是。
无代表还收税——18世纪50年代，英国政府向美洲殖民地征税，但不允许他们在议会有投票权。最终这导致了美国大革命和美国的建立。
投票的卡特尔垄断
不管投票模式如何，所有的区块链都会受到大庄家影响。然而，持币人投票的方法迄今还是比矿工/非持币人投票模式有更好的适应力。
持币人投票让卡特尔承担投票结果。它们的代币也因为其权益的大小而影响到网络的健康程度。
在把投票权交给其它派别的模式中，卡特尔就势不可挡，他们也会因此消耗决策，让自己他们不需要对结果负责或者不会受到自己的决定的影响
辩论
我们鼓励在此问题上进行良性的辩论，并将继续利用各渠道获得的观点提高这些好的想法。

Recently the topic of voting and control has been discussed by multiple blockchain projects.
EOS, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and others all agree that blockchains must be controlled by voting, but wo should do the voting?
Token Holders
This model adopted by EOS is straight forward and creates 100% alignment and accountability for the voters and voting outcomes respectively; this is the most successful and widely used voting model throughout the world today, in and out of technology.
By combining a Constitution with Token Holder Voting, EOS defines the scope of the miners to a degree that manages everyone’s expectations equally and restores control of the network to those affected by the decision making.
Not the Token Holders
If you don’t allow token holders to vote, it means someone else is voting for them.
This model splits the beneficiaries and the decision makers and results in outcomes that may not be in the best interest of the token holders. This structure is analogous to U.K. citizens voting on behalf of US citizens for government; a connection can be argued, but they are not the direct beneficiaries of the outcome. This is how both Bitcoin and Ethereum are structured today.
Proof of work voting has shown to quickly centralize; both hardware and electricity are cheaper in bulk which results in controlling mining pools; this creates an oligarchy that has little to no accountability for their actions and are not directly affected by their decisions.
The following examples have taught us the dangers of having others vote on our behalf:
Bitcoin Scaling—From 2015–2017 block producers refused to increase the block size limited while the network was at capacity, so that higher transaction fees could be charged.
Ethereum and The DAO—Dominant mining pools isolated the information and decision making to a few. The lack of transparency or public framework for making such decisions gave inequitable trading opportunities to decision makers with little to no exposure to ramifications of their decisions; this taught us that code was not law, but the pool operators/voters were.
Taxation without Representation—in the 1750’s the British government began taxing American colonies without allowing them to vote in parliament. This ultimately led to the American revolution and the creation of the U.S.A.
Voting Cartels
All Blockchains are susceptible to large influencers, regardless of the voting model. Token Holder voting models however are far more resilient than Miner/Non Token Holder Voting Models.
Token Holder Voting subjects the Cartels to the outcome of the vote. Their tokens are also affected by the perceived healthiness of the network due to the size of their stake.
In models where voting power is given to other parties, Cartels become unable to be impeded and quickly consume the decision making of the network in such a way that does not hold them accountable for, or affect them by their decisions; Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown this unintended outcome.
Healthy Debate
We encourage an open healthy debate on this issue and will continue to leverage good ideas from the ecosystem no matter where they come from.
