Voting in the OCM DAO

IMPORTANT

[January 2024] With the current OCM upgrade from Ethereum to Bitcoin, Snapshot.org is no longer able to be used as a platform to conduct voting. The voting system on Snapshot.org was a token-based weighted voting system where (1) token (OCM Genesis or OCM Karma) = (1) vote. An additional (1) bonus vote was awarded for each 'pair’ of tokens, where 1 OCM Genesis + 1 OCM Karma = (1) bonus vote.

In the interim, we have developed an internal manual voting system to facilitate the token-based weighted voting for approving proposals. As we are using Discord to facilitate the vote, to ensure the privacy of data of our members we will not share personal Discord information connected to the number of votes.

We will share a link the tallied weighted voting results so people can see the amount of votes and a breakdown of the voting data. Discord usernames and ID’s of individual voters will be redacted for data privacy protections as mentioned above.

Any holder of an OCM Genesis or OCM Karma NFT can vote for proposals and community surveys.

To participate in OCM DAO voting, you must verify your OCM asset ownership by connecting your Discord account and ETH wallet(s) and/or BTC wallet(s) holding your OCM Genesis and/or OCM Karma NFTs to the OCM website. Ensure that the holder roles assigned to your Discord username reflects the total number of ETH Genesis or ETH Karma assets, or total number of BTC Genesis or BTC Karma assets you own.

As of January 2024, voting is conducted in Discord channel #🗳️dao-polling using MEE6. Prop.House and Snapshot.org voting platforms will not be used until further notice.

Current voting types are:

Community Survey, also known as community sentiment or temperature check
Full Proposal

Voting on Community Surveys

A survey-style poll to gauge the sentiment or temperatur check of the community on issues that would benefit from further exploration or a timely resolution. Votes and results from Community Surveys are non-binding and are used to gather information only.

Survey Voting Duration: maximum 5 days
Voting System:
- 1 holder = 1 vote

Voting on Full Proposals

A Full Proposal that has undergone community review and is now available for official community approval or rejection.

Proposal Voting Duration: 7 days
Voting System: token-based weighted voting
- (1) OCM Genesis NFT = (1) vote
- (1) OCM Karma NFT = (1) vote
- An additional (1) bonus vote is given for each pair of tokens (1 Genesis + 1 Karma).

For example, if Bob owns 3 OCM Genesis and 2 OCM Karma, and he cast a vote of Yes in #🗳️dao-polling on a Full Proposal, then the total number of votes he cast would be 7 'Yes' votes on the Full Proposal.

That is ... 3 votes, one for each OCM Genesis + 2 votes, one for each OCM Karma + 2 bonus votes, one for each 'Genesis + Karma' token pair
