Good for you. I'm going to go through my witness selection slowly.

As for handing proxy to Asher, I said the same thing to @simplymike.

is a personal decision. I admire him greatly, but do want to support those I support only after my own research. I know he stopped supporting witnesses that own bid-bots, so many of the witnesses on your list would not be a supported witness. Only one I support right now with bid-bots is Matt, and I will continue to show my support there. He does want to show support to our community and I am not faulting anyone for being a bid-bot owner but heck, what do I know?
