@AusbitBank... Many people have no idea how much work some of the Witnesses do 4 the Steemit Community and quite honestly I'm still learning how much time & effort that You & everyone that You are working with & supporting. I was fortunate to receive guidance from @Aggroed and that's why I voted You & @TeamSteem as Witness a number of weeks ago.

Thank You also 4 the guidance & the suggestions You made in this post.

As many others have already acknowledged... BIG Kudos 2 You !!

Thanks Again @AusbitBank... Have a Great Week !!

Aus, I haven't voted yet because I want to be sure I know the basis: there are a bunch of skallywags on the list that I want to be able to not vote for and check who I do want , but I'm now sure how to do this--do I go thru the list and check who I want and don't want, how many votes do I get are there any of the "good" witnesses not listed that I should write in?
I went and inspected some of the witnesses and found some of the worst "skallywags" with zero posts (or a handful) and zero followers. If you could include again the witness voting page link. Also some appear to be working on other Steem projects so despite no posts and few followers --they may not neccessarily be bad witnesses. thanks again for your hard work...

You get 30 votes and it's tricky because not everyone's efforts are visible via their steemit profile..

These are my current votes :

I theres anyone not wanting to keep track of witness dramas , that trusts my judgement - you can set me as a witness voting proxy at the bottom of the page and it will copy my witness preferences to your account automatically.

Perfect this is exactly what I needed. I'd gone thru the list and circled some peeps including number 21 busy.witness that has 0posts and 100% power-which said to me he wasn't participating--but as you say he may being doing other projects, thanks (since my 6 cents would help you much in the scheme of life I opted to reSteem this)!

ausbitbank (73) · 7 years ago

I believe the busy.witness account isn't really an active witness , its for funding busy.org development costs (an alternative interface to the steem blockchain). Thanks for the resteem :)

Awesome. Steemviz is working pretty good though would be cool to have a UI refinement. Maybe a ready to use CSS framework may help? I like HackCSS for projects like yours. Much better than overused Bootstrap.

Looking forward to see what comes out of @shame.

I was wondering what rate the internal SBD to steem conversion takes and had used it for my first couple of conversions... will avoid that from now on!

Glad to see it's working out minus a slight hiccup. I definitely agree it's too soon to talk about a HF20 and there're way too many changes!

Have you considered the idea of limiting self-votes to a few times per day?

The extreme idea is: No more than (IDK) 2-3 self-votes per day no matter what.

The less extreme: The vote power scales down with each new vote for yourself in a 24 hour period - first one can be 100%, next one restricted to 90%, next one to 80%, and so on down to 10% and then 0. Jerry Banfield had a great post on this.

Doesn't prevent collusion between multiple accounts though... and I guess now that I am typing this, I am realizing that it would be trivial to create a new account and upvote that one instead of your own. Hmm...

Thanks for the update... I still struggle understanding half of it but every post I learn a bit more and minnowsupportproject has helped a lot! My next goal is to understand the SP delegation stuff... I've invested in my SP so now I just need to work out what I'm supposed to do with it that's beneficial for all :) Thanks for all the hard work you do @ausbitbank Can we vote for you more than once for Witness? I've got like 25 free votes still :)

Oops, crap about the node falling over, glad you got everything sorted out. Thanks for the insane amount of work you put in :)

merej99 (70) · 7 years ago

Oh man! I'm sorry to hear about the node failure. I'm sure you will gain momentum back and hopefully @abit will give you a second chance. That must have been a hard pill to swallow.

steemitadventure (66) · 7 years ago

I voted for you on @acidyo suggestion :)

kemosabe (49) · 7 years ago

resteemed, upvoted, and got a witness vote from me ;D To be honest, I thought I already voted you as a witness... Wishing you the best in sucess @ausbitbank

@ausbitbank: I've already voted for you as witness and I'd like to thank you for the amazing efforts. Any idea how soon HF 20 will be implemented.

Thank you so much for the news well i have spoken to few my fellow steemians and they are not so happy with the HF 19 as the voting system gone incredibly biased, Hopefully they do something for that so new use gets some courage to post and be active.

A lot of great information regarding HF20 and the witness operations. It'll be interesting to see how people react to all of those changes. Keep up the great articles. Can't wait to see your rank get even higher!

arckrai (62) · 7 years ago

The proposals for Hardfork 20 are really useful and it will definitely help solve some implications regarding voting power.
I've already voted for you as witness and I'd like to thank you again for the amazing hardwork you put in for this platform

Keep up the good work mate. btw. Do you have any idea why Polo has disabled the Steem wallets?

$1.38

ausbitbank (73) · 7 years ago

I suspect they didnt upgrade their steem node, but I have a 200 SBD deposit from before the hardfork that never showed up either. Their ticket response template just vaguely blames steem and says everything will be back to normal soon but I don't trust them at all.

Dude you are so voted for!
How could I not after your heroism during the Minnowton war in defeating Bigbadassicus.
And your plan to surf from Wannapuffabong to Lisbon for Steemfest gives you legendary status.
Only I know what you'll do next and believe me it'll be heroic.
You are total Witness material my friend.
Good luck.

Thanks for discussing the upcoming hardfork 20. As a minnow, grasping the bigger pictures is hard :) . . . Can you explain a little on what 'vote dust threshold' is? I'm having trouble understanding that concept. I appreciate your time.

ausbitbank (73) · 7 years ago

There are currently limits to the smallest amount of vote power that can be transmitted by a user. For example if you are a brand new user and you voted at 1% power on a post, 1% of a tiny amount of power it wont be enough to affect rewards and the current system would ignore it. You may have seen the error in streemian " vote strength too low" , that's what's causing it.

This limit will be removed, so tiny votes will be recorded at any strength afaik

so instead of a cheetah bot...there gonna be possibly a shame bot in HF20. upvote is fine maybe on their blog....but on their own comments???

Does that mean one can get discounts to get their friends, families, and cryptopreneurs signed up?

Hi @ausbitbank - I'm sorry there is no other way to contact you about this other than through a comment. I'm trying to start a contest for people that promo the Steemit network. I'd love your support if you think the contest will work. If not, no worries.
