I honestly feel a large portion of those votes are from people that either 1. Don't really use steemit anymore 2) voted and then just completly forgot about it.

The voting is really tucked away in the system and honestly I feel this part of steemit needs to be better done.

By having bios that the witnesses can update so you can see who you are voting for and what they have done recently.
Require voting every month or every few months otherwise it gets wiped clean.
OR
A weighted system where if you have not visited the page and submitted your votes again it loses weight compared to someone who visited this month and clicked submit again or changed votes.

Why don't you just make one post per day? Is it necessary to be doing so many? COuld you please explain for the benefit of those who are trying to understand. Plus, why are you putting wallet addresses at the end of your posts when you are already making so much?

in simple words you want us to give one of our witness vote to @riverhead ?

Yeah sure why not.. even though I don't use that chat and I find it a scam because many fake people uses names of famous steemian as their chat name and duped lots of silly minnows.. well I don't blame the chat cuz the ones getting duped are just idiots.

hello @skreza i am getting problem to steemit.chat when i sign up they said we send you a mail shortly but i did not receive any mail.

and what am I suppose to do about it? cheetah only blacklist losers who copy paste a lot.. did you copy paste other people's creation and posted them on Steemit claiming it's your contents? but anyway if you are having trouble with chats you contact @riverhead not me.. if u bug me for no reason then maybe I will also blacklist you 😁😛

jasonshick (65) · 7 years ago

Completely agree with steemians doing some research on witnesses and figuring out who is well deserving of those much coveted top 20 positions. I've been running a witness series of interviews for the past few months, any other witnesses you recommend having a chat with? How about yourself, can't remember which account you're running for witness but would love to get your opinions and outlooks for my witness series

syncubate (50) · 7 years ago (edited)

It's @nextgencrypto - that'd be an interview I'm sure many would tune in to!

I'm not really worried about pissing people off, I'm just worried about spreading useful information to others, they can form their own opinions. The more information out there about our witnesses the better, even if it ruffles a few feathers alongside the way

If this is about the platform and the good of the community, we should have a vote periodically where the userbase chooses their witnesses and all prior witness votes are removed.

That will keep people on their toes.

The revolving door of users here don’t really even know whom half these witnesses are.

Edit: just read the comment that mirrored this opinion. Well let’s take to the streets fuckers.

Post about it until people are tired of reading it.

whatsup (75) · 7 years ago

For the sake of fun and argument. How would one know what @riverhead did?

Yes, I remember his name, mostly from when he flagged beanz for moving her channel to discord.

How would I know how much time, money and knowledge it takes to run steemit chat?

Maybe if the witnesses would like everyone to understand their contribution they should post an update once in a while.

The temper tantrum was cute and par for the scene.

moemanmoesly (67) · 7 years ago

I know you have done a lot but what projects are you in charge of or a part of @berniesanders, i ask because i am yet to vote for a witness i'm thinking @arcange and @followbtcnews...

moemanmoesly (67) · 7 years ago

Would it possible to rig the voting system with multiple accounts?@berniesanders

rufaz (50) · 7 years ago

I have been on steemit over 6 months, I did know know you can vote for witnesses and I don't know how to.

Maybe you should have a simple FAQ's tab to help us everyday normal users out, and one of the FAQ explaining what voting is for and have a list to choose from.

It's difficult to learn how to use this platform and at first it is quite confusing, I can understand why some people don't stay so long.

syncubate (50) · 7 years ago (edited)

I've had a few positive experiences with some of the top Witnesses. They've engaged in discussion and acknowledged comments, even if disagreements were present.

Others...eh, not as much of a positive experience. I've observed that some seem to post incessantly, rewarding themselves on top of their daily producer rewards for maintaining the blockchain. When is enough, enough?

Even worse, I had a Witness downvote me recently on the erroneous assertion that I cited "false facts" in a comment I made to a post. When I defended myself with objective and verifiable citations regarding what I wrote, there was no response, and the downvote remains.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all delegate a portion of our Steem Power holdings and maintain the blockchain via our stakes, similar to how other delegated proof of stake systems work? I would imagine such a system would be more equitable.

Alas, such a system doesn't exist here. I have not yet voted for a Witness but it seems the time has come to do so, as it is apparent that the future success of the blockchain is heavily swayed by those in this position of influence.

Answering to what? That i should spend my time, trying to explain my thoughts to somebody, who clearly doesn't want to know any better and has his mind up?

And I downvoted your comment, because I didn't aggree with your theory about MarketCap showing absolute Value, in the least.

If you are not willing to accept that MarketCap isn't a true representation of value - then don't bother trying to find reasons why it was unfair for me, to downvote your comment.

$0.00

maxg (58) · 7 years ago

Maybe downvoting isn't the right thing to do solely because it hides the discussion on Steemit and prevents other people from joining. Regardless of how anyone feels about Eos or marketcap, censoring someone else for having a different opinion than you probably isn't the best move.

$0.00

therealwolf (75) · 7 years ago

It wasn't about hiding for me, but more about showing my opinion. Also, it is called flagging, but actually it is a downvoting - the opposite of an upvote, which is nothing more than a disagreement.

And as long as this doesn't remove extreme parts of rewards, I don't see any problems with it.

charitybot (63) · 7 years ago

The fact you cite the "weiss report" as counter-evidence is very telling of your lack of ability to form a reasonable set of answers to his assertions. Go have a look at what other garbage-tier dumpster-fire companies in the corporate world they give A and B ratings to. And you know that downvoting something pushes it down a thread when the user sorts by "trending" (the default on steemit, surprise surprise) because that's just another word for "money value of votes" and removes its immediate visibility, stop making up sorry excuses for why you're scared to let "FUD" as you would call it stand on its own merit in a fucking dmania thread. It's a meme thread and you're scared that people will see a well-reasoned argument? What a fucking joke. Weak shit like this is exactly why no one with any critical thinking sense at all would ever voluntarily join this website if the financial incentive to partake in the trickle of Tether-inflated coins being produced was removed.

syncubate (50) · 7 years ago

"Oh and - downvoted for sharing of false facts."

That was your stated reason for downvoting my comment in the cited thread.

I write about the markets and market cap is incontestably a representation of value to both traders and investors. It's not the only metric by which value is assessed, but it is among the top. And that's not a false fact. The popular site "Coinmarketcap" implies this by its very name.

You're a Witness. I've had numerous discussions with Wtinesses in which disagreements were expressed and varying opinions were shared. Not once was I downvoted by any of them for expressing a different point of view.

sircork (64) · 7 years ago

I am a top 70s witness who doesn't usually agree with young mr wolf to be honest, but in this case, he is correct, sorry. Just because some didn't down vote you, you got lucky or whatever, he is free to do so.

syncubate (50) · 7 years ago (edited)

The Steem Blue Paper describes the blockchain as a protocol that "enables people to earn the currency by using their brain (what can be called “Proof-of-Brain”)."

It's one thing if downvotes represented an expression of different points of view without negating the visibility of a user's "proof of brain." Instead, they are synonymous with a flag that can be employed by those with greater SP influence to blot out varying opinions, even when those disparate viewpoints are expressed in a clear and thoughtful manner and do not fit the description of content that is commonly cited for flags when one clicks on the flag button.

This whole thing is a popularity contest. Votes never expire and a majority of the voters are apathetic to the whole thing. Blockchain governance can replace governments, but they can't replace stupid. Apathy is the best attack vector against DPoS blockchains.

You don't know what you don't know, right?

It's not his fault, but I had no idea who was behind it. Because of that, again my fault not his, I had not voted for his witness. I am a heavy user of steemit.chat and highly promote it too from my new promising user reply information to admin'ing a few channels there. I should have done better research to know who was behind the project and supported them more.

I cannot be the only one who was using it without voting for his witness too. There are thousands like me who simply didn't know. Now they do. We can easily fix this mistake. The first thing I do each morning is open steemit.chat. This morning the second thing I did was vote for @riverhead's witness. Thousands of other users, whether they are on steemit.chat or not, should also be doing the same.

Heck, it is the main help channel, and @steamcleaners and many other initiatives were using it for coordination. Such services do not come for free. There's no such thing as free as we all know. People have to put time and money into these projects. They have to put part of their life into them, and they should be aptly rewarded for their successes. Steemit.chat is a vital service and definitely well worth a high reward too!

Thanks to @riverhead once again, and I apologize for missing your vote.
