BCF 2012 Miner vote

It would appear that the Bitcoin Foundation has decided that their next two seats would be decided by miners. (More information available at: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1255-blockchain-voting/#entry13453 )

Unfortunately, they seem to have not provided the software needed to participate.

I've taken Luke DashJr's somewhat notorious IsNotorious patch, which he's used previously to block things like the Horse Stapler Battery dust-spam attacks and re-purposed it so miners can avoid casting votes in the election that they don't intend to cast.

Not really an ideal fit, but the code has the benefit of having been run in production for some time; a necessity for deployment on short notice.

A patch (against git master, but should apply to 0.10 cleanly at least and probably other versions) is available at:

Let me know if you have any trouble applying it, I'll be glad to do my civic duty and do what I can to help people participate with the system was clearly intended by the design.

[Please note that I am relying on some claims from reddit for some of the candidate addresses ( http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2x3ffk/bitcoin_foundation_runoff_voting_live_stats_2015/ ) because the official voting software is more or less completely busted for me and I can only see some of the candidates. If any are wrong, please let me know.]

Cheers.
