I’m so glad you shared this Team @beeyou! I have not yet voted for any witness. I just haven’t educated myself enough to feel confident in my voting! I finally feel like I have a decent grasp on the basics of Steemit. It’s time for me to get engaged in the voting of our witnesses! I’m really falling in love with this community. It’s the right thing (just like voting in any election) to do if you want to make it the best it can be! There’s no whining about where it ends up, if you don’t make your voice heard, right? Thank you so much for putting this out there. It’s a great start for me. How many witnesses do we need to vote on?
I'm in the same boat. I haven't completely understood the whole concept, so I hadn't worried about it yet, but it's been sitting in the back of my mind for awhile now. I'm ready to cast my first vote now, if I can work out how to do it.
Hi @viking-ventures. My post is more of an intro post to get everyone's thoughts on witnesses. If you read the comments, there are many like yourself on here. Some that know a tad more about witnesses than you do, but we are all still learning. We'll have future posts that will explain witnessing more in detail. A future contest will be with us helping you cast your first witness vote! You can wait to make a vote then, or if you are ready now to vote for a witness, let me know. I can walk you through it.
I can wait then. And thanks for your posts on this confusing subject. There's so much to know on Steemit - a steep learning curve (or perhaps steem learning curve!) - it's going to take time to catch all the little bits on it now that I've got the basics down.
Right on point!! Get that active key out and make your first vote @pretty.dorky! Really, take your time to learn about the witnesses, who they are and what they stand before you vote for one.
We've had many of our newbie team members ask about witnesses and who they should vote for, so we decided to start several posts introducing some witnesses to everyone. Those will come out soon.
We can vote for a total of 30 witnesses. We can also unvote those witnesses at any time if their actions don't align with our own beliefs/thoughts.
See, look at you... Always giving out helpful advice to others... That's why I am a proud @beeyou fan and happy to have her in our membership club! She is always energetic and encouraging, and lots of fun to everyone! :)
