After delays and a reset of its voting window, XIP-1 finally reached opening day. Community members had to decide on the proposal and first confirm that they could exercise their votes. The earlier guide said anyone wishing to vote directly had to delegate voting power to themselves.

Voting opened. That evening, someone reported that the page showed zero voting power despite a completed self-delegation. In the voter list, the top two addresses had weight, while an entire column below them showed zero. People asked whether the display was wrong or their votes could not be cast at all. An operator said the issue was being investigated.

The debate had been about whether to support the proposal; now some people could not even tell whether their votes would count. The person who reported the problem left the page details with the operator and planned to wait for a clear answer before acting. The cause of the zero weights remained unresolved.
