Voting to **name the smallest HBIT unit** was so close, we need to have a head-to-head run off between the top two.

##### Explanation and notes

This was very unexpected. The plan was to announce the winner today, but, using the "[voting power](https://hive.blog/hive-159259/@crrdlx/voting-for-the-smallest-hbit-unit)" formula, the top two vote-getters came out 419.6782609 to 418.3304322. That's *very* close.

I contacted both of the Hive users who'd suggested the top two names (@noctury suggested "quark" and @arthursiq5 suggested "bitoshi"). Without letting them know who had the 419 and who had 418, I asked whether they'd prefer to just go with the 419 as the winner, or to have a run off. Both saw benefits in either route. Both said either option is fine with them. Being that close, I felt a head to head run off would be appropriate. Both noctury and arthursiq5 were gracious and said they were fine to have run off.

Notes:
- Although I want to wrap this up, I thought we need a few days open for voting. **Voting will be open through Saturday, July 17**.
- This time we'll just use straight votes, not voting power. It's just simpler. Anyone on Hive can vote.
- Also, if you *don't* want to use the Google Form, this time **you can simply vote in the comments on this page**. I'll manually add your vote alongside those submitted on the Form. 
- Since it was *so close*, I decided to award the prize money (half the HBIT in the @hivebits.mine holdings) to the winner, but to *also match that* to the second-place person (I'll send it from my personal HBIT holdings). This way, they'll both get the prize HBIT.
