What does that mean, for the uninitiated?
- simple way to do COLD storage .. i.e. a paper wallet
- simple way for voting WITHOUT taking the private key out of the cold storage and compromise the safety of the funds!!

many holder store their funds at exchanges , don't bother to withdraw them to wallet .
And BTC38 stop voting for customers on their behalf.

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

1) He wants to see if a popular, vetted, and meaningful delegate can get elected by the community. Basically if toast can't the rest of us won't either.

I suspect that is the reason. It is pretty disappointing though to see that even after more than a week has passed, someone like toast has still yet to get into the top 101.

I would like to how many of the current top 101 delegates bytemaster is voting for and what percentage of the approval his votes account for. I would make an educated guess that nearly all of the active delegates (if not all) are voted for by stake controlled by bytemaster and that he accounts for at least 7% of the approval percentages. If that is true, that would mean there is only approximately 3-5% of other stake that is voting for the top 10 active delegates. And that alone is not enough to get a delegate into the top 101.

If my estimates are true, then that means that if bytemaster continues to follow the policy of not voting for 100% delegates in order to be neutral, then we will not be able to vote in these paid delegates unless we get people who currently don't bother voting to start voting.

About 45% of stake remains unclaimed so far for some reason (although I think this includes the 20% vested stake that no one can claim yet?). Another at least 12.12% have at a minimum learned how to use the voting mechanics. What is the excuse for the other 43% of stake? My hope is that this is stake that was claimed, moved into cold storage and not touched since then. If that is the case, then I am hopeful that voter apathy will significantly drop once we are able to decouple voting private keys from spending private keys.

My guess, and it's just that, is one of two reasons or some combination of both.

1) He wants to see if a popular, vetted, and meaningful delegate can get elected by the community. Basically if toast can't the rest of us won't either.

2) Dan controls a lot of shares via AGS. It could be viewed negatively, perhaps even nepotism, to hoist toast into a paying position.

What's the reason that BM hasn't voted for toast. After adding his votes, toast will go up to 101 for sure. Without BM's votes, it's difficult, because many big shareholders don't even log in this forum neither know much about toast...

I approved toast's delegate a while ago, but he's still not in the top 101.  Clearly I need more BTS.

I will vote for toast!

But it would be good if there could be a clear message like:

At the moment I (do not) get paid by AGS funds xy bts/month. I think it would be justified to vote me in because...

Thank you for that, Stan. It must have been fun and enriching for Dan growing up with you as a father.

It's a pity that these artificial fiscal engineering constraints are preventing us from functioning at a higher level of efficiency.
