One steem, one vote.

For witness voting.

Got 30m steem?
Vote it all on one witness, or 1m on 30 witnesses, up to you.
We should have done this already, IMO.

Along with down votes for witnesses and vote decay to force a dead man's switch onto witness voting.

Making the witnesses stand for election twice a year appeals to me, too.

I mean good luck getting anything into a hardfork now that doesn't involve the death of the chain, what with what tron has already said.

Tron steem, anybody?

We will be lucky to maintain the status quo.
Which was working just fine, imo.

Now we got all this uncertainty, and certainty that stinc doesn't act in our best interests, to deal with.

Just when I was ready to give stinc the benefit of the doubt again, ned does this to us.
Smdh.

I know I don't hold out much hope for the great corporate savior, but c'mon, ever been saved by a corporation?
Ever been screwed by one?
What are the odds?

Honestly, with the right witnesses we could run this whole chain on our own without a corporate overlord trying to screw us to up his bottom line.

Do corporations even function any other way?

Maybe our illustrious savior will do something wonderful.

Well, buckle up, dear reader, we are about to get some turbulence in our blogging for pay daily lives.

I strongly agree with 1 Steem = 1 witness vote.

There is a problem with inactive witnesses as well. Rather than once every six months, I would propose that witness votes need to be refreshed monthly, and that unless a witness actively campaigns/applies to receive votes, they not be able to be voted for. This would eliminate inactive witnesses from obstructing the consensus mechanism, and not entail undue hardship on the community.

From time to time, even witnesses leave the community, just like everyone else. When folks keep their votes for those witnesses in place, and those witnesses no longer contribute to Steem governance, it prevents Steem governance from being effectively undertaken.

One of the problems that contributes to folks being confused by witness voting is that it is unfamiliar. Having more practice doing it would increase understanding of it.

bractice makes berfect.

Thanks!
