# Worker Proposal
The worker proposal `1.14.18` is dedicated to poll shareholders about their
willingness to implement the Privacy Mode feature in a hard fork. It serves the
private investor as an indicator whether shareholders would appreciate his
investment and agree to upgrade the protocol accordingly.
Since the implementation is funded by a private investor, the worker only pays

## Worker as Poll
When the project is complete, the new software will be presented to the
witnesses as an opportunity to hard fork by switching to running the new
package/software. At that time witnesses will face a choice:
1. Honor the proposal at the time the decision to spend the private investor's money was made, or

Acting against the wishes of Vote 2 could get them fired if enough people
disagree with them keeping the implied commitment of Vote 1.
Acting against the wishes of Vote 1 means that BitShares gets a reputation for
reneging on a prior vote upon which an entrepreneur has relied.
This means that even if some voters have changed their minds about this proposal
by installation time, they might *not* decide to fire otherwise faithful
witnesses for deciding to obey Vote 1 in order to preserve BitShares' reputation
in future deals.
Considering the participation rate in the worker poll: those who do not care
enough to vote are ignored in the decision making process as it is supposed to
be.
## Privacy Mode not Most Pressingly Needed
The argument was raised that the Privacy Mode as proposed here is not the
feature most pressingly needed for BitShares right now.
