RE: Hive-naija Engagement #19 - "Hive witnesses"

in Speak Peace3 years ago

Omo this topic sha, I don't know how this hive witness
I don't know i can even choose them
And I don't know i can vote. The only thing i know is that @aliento supports in the newbie intiative.
Maybe they should teach us in our channel so we would know how it works

Hello! You can vote through the different Hive frontends, most of them have a page. You need your active key to vote though. Here are some examples:

Thank you
Please is there any benefits or advantage of voting?
I really want to understand how it works and why we vote

The benefit is for the community. The witnesses play a crucial role as you can see in this screenshot from https://peakd.com/me/witnesses.

If you haven't you I invite you to read the white paper, it can give you a general overview of all things Hive.

Thank you dear friend
We learn everyday and a glad you are here to teach me

Is there any way i can make my post more public for people to see it and get more upvote legally?

There are many ways, but the best one is to be active with good content, engage and bring value to Hive.

Okay thank you
Does having a witness also help those o voted for check my post and upvote?

I am not sure that is in the affirmative...I think voting a witness is just to show your confidence in them

We are in the same shoe... Well if they teach you this one in your newbies class then you're lucky because we didn't learn this part.

True o
We still have a long way to go on hive, there is more to hive than posting

Ha 😳, I hope we get to learn them all 🥺

Yes with time we will
We just need time

There is so much more.

Hahahaahaha. I added the aliento post link now.

Oh thank you. I'll check it out.

Omo, I also had to learn about it when a question was asked in the terminal discord, it was like a foreign topic.

Oya teach us nau.... What did you learn in the terminal about it?

Witnesses are people who run servers or nodes, these servers keep hive running properly.

Does that mean if they stop running the nodes, everything comes crumbling down? 😳

Most likely.

This answer gives me shivers 😱

I have added a link in the post. Please check it out.

Okay thank you dear friend
I will check it out

Okay went through it and I think I have a little idea now and been able to cast my vote.

Pretty understandable to be honest, a lot of us have been here for longer and still have no idea.

I think that's why they brought us this topic after this engagement we will be have knowledge about how it works

And it worked
