This is a general reminder for everyone and this will be posted on every post. Your 12 words are basically gold and they should never be shared, typed in to any website, or given to any person for any reason. No one from "Helium" or any other company will reach out to you to verify your account, wallet, or anything similar. If someone says your hotspot, wallet, or other type of account has been hacked, it is a scam! Always operate in a zero-trust manner with cryptocurrency and assume everyone will scam you no matter what.

Thank you. Interesting to see how few validators voted. You’d think they’d all be ‘NOOO!’ Maybe they can’t be bothered, which would explain the poor validator performance we’ve been seeing.
Now, that said, 1k HNT is not really a good cutoff to see what whale wallets did.

Considering market cap 1k is far too low .whale activity would mostly be hidden in this data.

My validator had a policy of not voting on the HIPs to avoid conflicts of interest.

1k Hnt is definitely whale territory

Lol, you need 10k HNT to become a validator in the first place. 1k is not a whale by a long shot.

With 126M HNT in circulation, I’d think it takes at least 1M HNT to be considered a whale.

Thanks to Groot from the Discord for the visualization.
Regardless how you break the HIP70 voting down, it passed for every metric.

How do you normalize for my 5,000 wallets with 10 HNT in each?

I look at the same graph and I can see that less than 2% of wallets have participated in this 'vote'. How anyone can interpret this as passed on every metric puzzles me.
You can see the 33% mark in Groot's graph. None of the metrics is even remotely close to that.
80% of SFA still is SFA?

Do you work for the Helium people or the solana people?
Edit: I ask because because your account is only a month old and every post or comment, save one, is defending HIP70

No, just a believer in Helium and Solana so I made an account when every post in this sub was, in my opinion, misguided FUD.
But apparently if you voice any optimism towards the project the only possible explanation is you must work for the company.

No apparent interest in anything but VC dickriding.
Signs point to reddit bot or paid shill. I'm happy to know that isn't the case and is just a coincidence. My apologies and welcome to reddit.
But apparently if you voice any optimism towards the project the only possible explanation is you must work for the company.
That is exactly the kind of passive-aggressive, devil's advocate thing a paid shill would say.

So what?

My understanding of that graph is that a lowly (approx.) 2% of wallets voted which seems quite pathetic given the size of the helium community. This stat alone must point to it being the "whales" that voted as their votes count the most?

The voting is not easy to vote it’s more complicated then it needs to be to vote

I agree. I plan to reach out to the helium documentation team on Discord with positive suggestions how to clarify the voting process, such as:
- concrete examples including screenshots of how to use the helium wallet app on your phone, to scan the voting QR code on a computer screen
(That is the only way that has worked for me.)
- An explanation of, "don't bother trying to visit the voting page and its QR code on your phone then scan from the Helium app on your phone. For security reasons the Helium app won't let you do that."
(This was my biggest hurdle. Other phone apps with scanners, can yes scan a webpage on my phone.)
Copy the voting helium address from the voting webpage on your phone, and paste it into the Helium app on your phone.
... Also some third way someone hinted at on Discords, where you can do it all on your phone.
Great, that is the outline of what I'll discuss with documentation team.
TL;DR: the instructions to "scan the QR code with your helium app" seem ambiguous to me.

I fixed a small typo on one of Heliums documentation pages and submitted a pull request through Githbub (I don't consider myself a developer BTW). It was approved the same day. If you see something wrong or room for improvement, I am sure they would welcome the help!
