For those wondering why b1 isn't building this, we have to step back and look at all the pieces.
Block.one wouldn't just have to build the portal, they would have to build everything necessary for securing user's keys as well, or endorse Scatter which isn't something they can do.
By allowing the community to build this we have every tool at our advantage whether it's from block.one or elsewhere.
I can appreciate that b.1 doesn't want to build the voting portal but this seems like exactly the kind of project they should be funding???
Agreed, the whole thing about b1 not launching and all enforces real centralisation. But still, given the amount of airtime eg Thomas Cox has invested to provide guidance on details of the launch, the necessity of building a wallet and voting portal could have been stressed a bit more at the least....
