Have you used all your witness votes?

jfang003 5 days ago

I used most (around 25), and I leave a few for projects/people that I like if they make one. I picked most based on projects that I used, then I did them based on the APR. I have some HBD in the savings, and I would prefer to have a higher HBD APR.

It's definitely one of the factors that should be considered while voting for witnesses.

Yes, I have used all 30 votes. Apart from specific witnesses whose projects I support - @liotes @thebbhproject and @detlev.witness - I vote for the top witnesses who support the old 20% interest rate for HBD. (Actually, the three witnesses mentioned here also support 20%.)

However, I might review my policy in the light of a conversation with @starkerz at the KL HiveFest about potential Hive-based crypto loans for businesses, if that idea comes to fruition.

I think I have only voted 8. It is what it is.. I vote for people who I engage with, or if they engage me, and since I don't really engage with many people, it's just 8 at the moment. (I prefer not to vote for people that I don't really know)

I used most of it, but not the whole 30. I leave it open to give some vote to newer people.
I vote in witnesses that I want to help mostly, sometimes people that are honest and trying to make hive more decentralized. Especially those who doesn't receive too much attention. Also those who are helping the blockchain somehow in other projects. This is a way to demonstrate appreciation. But I avoid in witnesses that add the APR interest too low.

Congratulations you have been manual curated and upvoted by @ecency

Yes i have used all 30 votes : 0 of 30 votes remaining .

Who i pick depends on who is active on my part of hive , and who do i think can make that part a better hive .
I do tend to change my votes every 6 months just to see if people are still active and keeping their promises .

I also use my main account as a proxy for all my smaller accounts that way i only need to go through that list once , and if you really don't like to go through that witness list but still want you vote to count you can always pick someone that you think has good intentions with hive as your proxy , so that your witness votes no matter how small your Hive power is don't get lost.

I have used all my witness votes. Because I think that it's important to be as involved as possible in Hive Governance. But I think I need to spend more time researching the witnesses that I have voted for.

Currently, my method is:

Vote for Liotes.
Avoid the top 20. Because I read many posts that speak to a kind of corruption among a cabal of around 10 of them. Without ever naming those that they distrust.
Vote for witnesses with APR set to at least 20%.

So the research I need to do is:

Try to understand who, what, and why about the aforementioned 'cabal'. Maybe that's as simple as avoiding anyone who supports Hive promotion through the inexplicable funding of a car.
Also try to understand how the HBD APR affects the Hive economy.
Most importantly, investigate witnesses beyond the data listed in the Witnesses voting pages. In order to see the real contributions that they make to the Hive ecosystem.

I do not use them all. I vote on projects that I am involved or ones that I have seen add value to the Hive Blockchain. I do take recommendations from those I trust for others to vote on as well.

It is similar to voting on proposals to receive Hive funds which may be a good one to ask the Liotes participants if they vote on proposals and how they determine who gets their vote to receive funds.

Being a witness is not always easy because you don't know what is the reason behind somebody unvoting you. But on the other hand, there needs to be a certain professionalisme in such a democratic process...
