Jameson, I have become confused about one point of operation in SODA. Take this scenario:
35 A>B>C 34 B>C>A 31 C>A>B If A delegates to A,B then does B have 69 votes he can delegate to B,C or does he have only 34 he can play with? In other words, can votes delegated from one candidate to another be re-delegated to a third candidate? I looked at the wiki and still am unclear on this. I still have the original SODA proposal in my head (where votes could not be delegated multiple times) and I can't remember if we've changed this detail at some point.
