Your Vote Matters (Hive Witness Voting)
Your Witness Vote Matters
As noted above those who run for witness operate what is known as nodes (servers) to secure that the HIVE Blockchain is operating correctly and smoothly. Each account on HIVE has a total of 30 Witness Votes. That's right each of you can vote for 30 different witnesses. Some users utilize all their votes. Others (like me) vote sparingly (I think 30 votes is way too many but that is a discussion for another time). The top voted Witness of the HIVE chain do get paid and have the most control over the blockchain so make sure you don't hand out your vote willy nilly. Vote for those who you consider bring value to the chain. Of course the 30 votes are yours to vote however you please. If voting for willy nilly is what you want than by all means go ahead and do that.
Currently I only have 7/30 of my witness votes utilized (it isn't easy getting my vote). I recently come across two more accounts I want to add to that list of seven. The first being the account known as @psyberx. The Psyberx account is the main blog account for the upcoming shooter style game known as (You guessed it) Psyberx. The game is still in very early stages but is quickly building its core base of supporters. If successful I suspect Psyberx will bring many new faces to the Hive Blockchain. Onboarding and community engagement are high on my list of importance when voting for a witness so that is the reason Psyberx gets my vote. The second account I intend on adding to my voted for witness list is the very acitve community driven @dynamicrypto. This person likes to host giveaways and can be routinely seen curating and commenting on the post of others. I have seen first hand the work this person is putting in to be a community driven Hiven and as I noted earlier community engagement is very high on my list of things I look for when voting for a witness. It was just days ago @dynamicrypto released a post detailing his witness. That post can be found by clicking the following highlighted link: https://hive.blog/witness/@dynamicrypto/proposal-for-your-witness-vote-and-a-kick-ass-community-plan
How To Vote
Front End | Link To Witness Page |
---|---|
Hive.Blog | Vote Here |
Ecency | Vote Here |
Peakd | Vote Here |
Above I have listed three Hive Frontends and included a direct link to the Witness voting page. Below I will also provide a quick step by step guide on how to get to the Witness voting section. The guide below is for the Hive.Blog frontend. Most other frontends will have similar steps in which will bring you to their witness page.
(1) Go to Hive.blog
(2) Scroll to top of page
(3) Click the triple bar (≡)
(4) Scroll down to and click Vote For Witness
After following the above steps you will be brought to the Hive Blochchains Witness page. It is here where you can vote for your favorite Witness. Voting is easy, simply click the up arrow next to the Witness you want to vote for. If you can't find the Witness in the provided list its likely because the account you are looking for is outside the top 200 witnesses. To find such a witness you can type out the name of the account you are looking for in the designated area found at the bottom of the page.
Voted for a Witness and they are no longer active. Has your view points changed and you want to remove one or more of your Witness votes. Maintaining and Updating your Witness votes is just as important as the initial voting process. If you feel as you want to unvote someone the Hive Network allows you to do just that. Its your vote and you can do with it as you please.
Are You A Witness?
If so lets hear the reasons why the users of HIVE should vote for you. Shill away in the comment section below. Provide any information and links to your Hive Blog / Hive Apps you helped create or maintain and if those stumbling upon this topic like your reasoning you just might find yourself getting some extra votes on your witness account.

Good post and reminder. I reviewed my witness and there were a couple that aren't active. I dropped them for the two guys mentioned in your post. Good to find active positive community contributors 👍
I need to remove one as well. The battlegames witness looks to be inactive for awhile now.

Nice list, I also don't use all of my votes. I do vote for many of the same witnesses you vote for.
One positive that came out of the Jsun drama is we learned when EVERYONE votes it makes a big difference.
But most days a handful of accounts control most of the witnesses and they have every motivation to trade votes.
I have no problem with that as this is a DPOS chain, and that's just how it works. One down side is I rarely think of staking for influence it's just too far out of reach.

I feel the same way. There is little point (for me at least) to try and play catch-up. Tribes have helped fill that void for current users by allowing them/us the option to become whales using second layer Hive tokens.

I make so much more roi by using my Hive on the 2nd layer

When I first joined a few months back, I read about the witnesses and felt I needed to use all 30 votes. Upon further review, that thought process is definitely flawed. I need to go in and review my votes again. Thanks!

It's one of those things every Hive user should be aware of. I wish it was much more prominent on the hive interfaces. Such as a monthly reminder to review or something.

I like the monthly reminder idea.

People need to take governance seriously. It is vital to the future of the ecosystem.

Dafuq @rentmoney, you gotta stake more PIMP Tokens!
You need Stake at least 1000.000 PIMP power.

It's easy to be forgetful of witness voting. The other day when I went to add a vote for dynamicrypto I realized that one of my votes was for a witness who had shut down their node. That was a real wakeup call. !LOLZ

like I said in previous posts, if it's not designed to be engaging and profitable smaller accounts won't vote. People don't like politics :P
I think what you are saying is true for a specific group of Hivens but not all. Making voting profitable (pay to vote?) wouldn't be a good idea. I would suspect any type of voter that votes for profit only will vote for 30 randoms and that won't be good for governance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
as long as it's active witnesses I don't think 30 randoms is bad for the ecosystem.
Hiya, Hmm well I run @chrono.witness it runs Hive, Hive-Engine and SPK Witness servers.
I also run a project on Hive.
Nice, you just gained a follower. I thought I was already following but I guess not. Have some nice cold !BEER and some !PIZZA.
