We were ahead last night when I went to bed. We had about a 1,000 vote lead I think. But now, it's the opposite. Given that most Steem users are sleeping, it seems that the only way Verge can gain 1,000 votes and then 1,000 more is if they are using VPNs to beat us. We're a social platform with real users. How else could they beat us?
We have just over 17 hours left to vote and win back the 1 position!

Today is the last day. We have to put everything we have into getting 1,000 more votes, and then getting a good 1,000 more for a lead would be great!
Can we do it as a community, and show the competition that we're a social platform that acts together to move forward and get things done? Let's not fail at this task :) We can be the next decentralized token to appear in the revolutionary financial technology that Netcoins has made with their ATM software. More people can get to know STEEM and have easier access at directly buying the cryptocurrency with cash, debit or credit cards.
Good luck to us all! I really hope we pull it off!
Don't vote from the same IP with different emails or browsers, as you will lose your votes :/
You can read more about the contest and what Netcoins is at my first post here.
They are cheating and will be banned hopefully.
I think a good chunk of those votes will be removed eventually. Yesterday afternoon when I checkout out the totals, Verge had ~8400 votes but then when I checked back a few hours later they were only at ~7,900. I think they must be using a bot of some sort that isn't able to properly verify the reCAPTCHA portion of the voting process, so I think those votes will eventually be removed.
At least that's what I noticed yesterday!
I was going to say that.
They are using something to propel them up.
If the recaptcha fails though, the vote doesn't go through. They are checking IPs for multiple votes I think...
Ah yes, I think you're right. That would make a lot more sense. Guess we've got to keep our fingers crossed while they tally up all the votes. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for an announcement!
It is not cool to cheat!
Verge got like +1k votes in one hour :/
Doubt they will be, just dupe IP voting removed though...
Seems INS are more efficient in cheating - shocking ahead over 1,000 votes now.
They were behind all the time. But in the last hour they made like +3000 votes ;-) sounds legit.
let us see what the official decision will be and whether some votes are reduced for certain coins.

Way to go!
Let's not count on Netcoins removing the fake votes for us to win! Let's have a final push these hours, so we can win, with or without their VPNs, vote farming or whatever. Are we the best social media blockchain? Let's show that!
Yup, we need to push as much as we can to hold that lead!
Cast my last vote for Steem, and note we are about ~600 votes within winning.
Yeah, we passed verge but then ins was the next scammer to pump up without a real community beihind it like steem...
My last vote done
And published my dtube vlog

Thanks.
Hello @krnel, introduce me @aulia1993 from Indonesia. This is the first time I visit your blog. therefore I have to introduce myself first. I have followed this post.
hopefully steem be in the number one position always. I really hope for that. because Steem has this amazing platform.
I have also voted on steem. Hopefully steem will be better in the future, and will always be the best.
I hope we win, thanks for participating!
They MUST be using a paid voting service..They were about 200 ahead when I voted 45 mins ago.

Yup, I think it's what's happening...
They are so obviously cheating. I just read someone's claim that 2000 of their votes came in under an hour. Hopefully Netcoins is smart enough to not get gamed like that.
Do they want a scam coin or Steem? Shouldn't even matter who has the most votes at this point. Verge's community can't compete with us. This is sad.

Yup, it's pretty obvious. I hope netcoins sorts this out (verge and ins), because otherwise they must be daft or paid off :P
My vote
Thanks for participating!
Just posted about it, they increased this morning by 1600 votes in less than 3 hours. It is not organic and something fishy behind it!
I noticed yesterday that Verge's total decreased by ~500 votes after a similar sudden increase. I think something like that will probably happen today too as it seems there is definitely something fishy going on...
I sent an email to the contest to make an investigation.

Good idea, I think I will too. If enough of us do, then hopefully they'll look into what's going on.
Yup, it stank all the way to the moon.
It looks like we usually come up with about 1000 votes throughout the day, we should gain the lead this afternoon as STEEM user's come online. If verge is not cheating they used up all their votes too soon. That's a big and doubtful "if". Very suspicious to have a collaborative 1k votes all at the same time.
Yeah we beat Verge, but then INS came out of nowhere to pump up like a scam!
Aww. No way. What a bummer. Sometimes I feel like steem is always a bridesmaid never a bride. Still fun, don't get me wrong.
Kind of phony how verge always seems to take the lead on us, when I went to bed we were up by 400, now we down by 800, I cant vote again for 6 hours, we need a blue wave or something, we can do this!!
First pac, then verge, then ins...
Like yesterday verge chit again...
They give false vote..
Hope we will win this contest.
Yup, chit/cheat they do :P
Voted😀
Done.
