Blocknet Governance Community Voting System Update.

Voting has been extended for this Superblock.

Recently, an issue with the Blocknet Governance Community Voting System payout mechanism was discovered. In light of this discovery we are deciding to extend the voting for the Community Funds Proposal to Nov 15th. This is because it is such a large amount of Block (130k) to be allocated. Voting will now close at Block 142000. Details are below:
