Hive account@shugenja, why is direct vote = mob rule ?
All crypto currencies work through direct vote. Do you imply that they are all controlled by mob ?

Indirect vote is more prone to mob rule because it creates dis-balance of power when proxies have more power than money and offer their power for sale to mob. With direct vote it's too expensive for mob to buy all voters power.
Also each voter should be able to override some proxy votes in case of disagreement with proxy. That will combat corruption as proxy cannot sell and guarantee his vote for special benefits.

Decentralization of voting proxies should be sufficient to combat mob and corruption.

It's ok to have decentralized power that controls centralized systems. Those systems that need redundancy will have it because voters will vote for it.
