This favors early birds too much.
In the beginning you just dont have enough statistical data to properly set delegate registration fee.

Moreover If I'm EVIL delegate I could create transactions with all my stake every time I have a chance (recipient me of course) so I can increase the price for newcomers.

I would suggest minimum and maximum fee.

Currently group owning 51% of the stake controls all 101 delegates.
They can:
Ignore transactions. Including banning single address from sending/receiving.
Rise transaction fees at will.
Have free transactions.

I have significant amounts of connection requests from 61.177.35.218.

Also each second i get the following message

--- there are now 30 active connections to the p2p network
In the logs it says I've disconnected some peers due to timeout.
Is this a bug?

Any comments on this?
That user opens significant amount of connections per second.
I get connection errors for other peers after some of failed connections from that host.
It is either a serious bug or someone tries to exploit this.

PS: Anyone recognizes 61.177.35.218 as his own?

Perhaps some judges can be assigned.
But this don't need blockchain just a site. Its very similar to kickstarter.

I have X coins.
I look for a bounty that currently holds X-1 coins.
I attempt to get the bounty (not really just claiming I've solved the problem).
With my X money I vote for bounty completed.
Regardless of the vote of others I get X-1 + X coins.

The real issue here is who decides if the job is completed.
Perhaps if you are not satisfied your bid still stays and you cant get it back until someone does it correctly. However this could also be exploited.

My delegates emski-delegate3 and lotto are out of top101.
They are well performing testing delegates helping diversify delegate pool.
Also they help me test the functionality and report issues back.
If there are some good souls out there willing to upvote them I'll be eternally grateful for that.

I will if you

a) tell me how to do it
b) send me some funds to play with at XTS5sBWGBjwcR4FBE6H4yzNhbvZCY5oetY7Bkgoouh4da4bFVPZ9c

I don't see a vote option in the GUI.

Cant help you with the GUI.

a) commandline is "wallet_approve_delegate <delegatename>"
Then you need to make a transaction.

b) done

Any comments on the above ?
