fab, thanks @abh12345, thats exactly what i was looking for. Do you know how much in $$$$ to buy the 11m vests ?

It's around 5 million STEEM and, looking at Bittrex, the first 20k would come at round 2100 satoshi each - might be paying a lot more for the rest!

Interesting, it's only around $1m ( like I have that in spare change lol)

1 mill at current price - not everyone gets to buy chunks without the market moving!

I heard jamesc started voting; so if he's tapping other sleeping giants on the shoulder, we might get over the line.

Yeah he's put votes in for

Mottler and Val-b would be a very nice addition to witness voters, but you also have michaelb, curie, jphamer, goblinknackers who are active and could assist.

darthknight is new and may not wish to share his keys with keychain or steemitwallet, but his stake would help a lot too.
