RE: Witness/Proposal Vote Expiration - Post HF24 Discussion

in HiveDevs4 years ago

For fixing the stale witnesses, I put in an issue onto the gitlab and @gtg responded in a way that would help fix it. https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive/-/issues/50

The basic idea is that if a witness hasn't signed a block with the latest HF and the last time they signed a block was over 30 days ago, then the stale witness should become auto disabled.

Sort:  

To be honest, if vote expiration was implemented. We might not even need to automatically disable the stale witnesses as people voting for them would either stop and/or inactive accounts' vote would expire anyways.

We might not need to, but theres still the chance(while very low) that they get assigned a block and it gets missed. If that can be avoided, is there not a reason to do so?

Of course, extra precaution is always welcome.
