+# 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

+investment and agree to upgrade the protocol accordingly.
+
+Since the implementation is funded by a private investor, the worker only pays

+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:

+Acting against the wishes of Vote 1 means that BitShares gets a reputation for

+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.
