Voting notes

To submit a vote you need to click into vote field votefield and type in a value or simply use arrows shown when you hover over a field. Voting system is based on quadratic voting system, so every value typed in is squared. This mechanism allows to vote more than once(allocate more than 1 vote) on a particular choice, but the stronger(more valuable) your votes get, the more it costs you. You can spend all of your vote power over one choice or split it over all available choices - it is up to you (but you have to distribute votes the way its total value doesn’t exceed your vote power).

For some proposals (depends on strategy used), there is a possibility of negative voting. If you definitely don’t want particular choice to win you can try to weaken its position. Typed in value is still squaring and counted out of your vote power.
