[FEATURE]: Governance contract - define the vote intention in transactions instead of using the block header

[joticajulian]

Is there an existing issue for this?

New feature

In the current implementation, the votes are taken from the headers of the block. This means that the miner has to configure the votes in the node and he can not use other tools like a wallet connected to a website to perform this operation.

One way to improve this is to define the vote intention inside transactions so the miner can use a wallet for that. The user only submits 1 transaction with the vote and each time he creates a block the contract will check in the storage what are the proposals selected by the miner and count votes. So, there is no need to submit a vote on each block, they are taken from the storage.

Anything else?

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

This would be a more efficient use of space for yes votes and likely better UX. This change would probably mean BurnKoin would need to deploy a new version of the pool contract to a new address and work with depositors to migrate their funds. Not a deal breaker for us, there are other improvements we want to make.
