You are mixing two different problems.
On the one hand, there is the question of Confidentiality.
Voting should always remain transparent. Accountability is paramount.
But support must remain confidential.
Keep in mind that in Democratic countries, presidential support is itself kept very confidential.
Here is a clear example of why VP delegation must remain confidential.
Imagine a few users have established themselves as White Knight VP Whales, who have indeed been voting in favor of initiatives which really do benefit the progress of Decentraland.
Now a new user comes in, who is actually fairly rich.
They know how to build stuff !
And they want to wow the tourists that visit Decentraland.
And who knows, maybe even make a little coin at the same time.
So they buy a lot of MANA, and purchase a lot of LAND.
And then they want to delegate the VP.
“For the good of Decentraland !!”
What better way to ensure that the worth of the land will remain ?
But the newcomer doesn’t want to dabble in any kind of politics.
(INSERT HERE THE MISSING OPTION TO AUTO-REDELEGATE VP)
With VP auto-redelegation, all the newcomer needs to have is a trusted friend who knows more about DCL than they do.
A friend who will already be auto-redelegating to another user they trust, and who knows even more about DCL, and who the really good White-Knight Whales are.
So automatically, this newcomer’s VP should land onto one of those White-Knight Whales.
For the good of Decentraland !
Now… Imagine a Corrupt Whale
A big White-Knight Whale keeps thwarting their vile initiatives !
Think about what happens when this corrupt whale is able to see who is delegating VP to their “enemy”.
Rich delegators will quickly become targets of choice !
Harassment… threats… and even hacking attempts
That may quickly make this rich user cancel his delegation.
That may even make them leave and never come back.
Hey… does this sound familiar to anyone ?
