Hey @beeyou
I decided to come back after all. Spent Yesterday staying away from SteemIt, then realized life was pretty boring without you guys and gals :0)
As for witnesses, I’m not a very good researcher ( too lazy), so I guess it’s fair to say that my choises were pretty egoistic ones.
Of course I fully support @steemcommunity, the witness project of @abh12345 and @paulag. Asher is such a friendly guy who is supporting so many newbies. I truly believe they’re here to make the community a better place.
WhenI got hacked, there were so many people that really put up a personal effort to help me out in way or another. I know it’s their job to do so, still I’m highly appreciative they took all the time that was needed to get my account and reputation score back. So I definitely rewarded them with a witness vote. I’m talking about @patrice, @drakos And @guiltyparties.
@anyx is on the list too. However I don’t always agree with Cheeta policies, I still think he’s doing a great job trying to keep this place clean.
My other votes went to people who have provided tools I use on a daily basis. Without these tools, life on SteemIt would be a lot tougher.
@followbtcnews for Steemistry and more
@yapabmatt for steembottracker and the fact that he’s always willing to help out/give more info
@blockbrothers for Steemify
@dragousroua, creator of steem.supply
@stoodkev for his SteemPlus plugin
@samrg472, creator of steemdunk
Most of them have more projects under their name, but these are the ones that are best known.
Then, you’ve also got @curie, of course, and utopian-io, both for obvious reasons
I voted for @therealwolf before, but after trying to get an answer about something without getting a reply, I crossed him of my list
I vote and take away votes regularly. And since I saw @lynncoyle1 handing over the control to @abh12345, I must admit I thinking about doing the same thing. ‘Cos hey, what do I know, right? ;0)
Well you appear to know plenty!! I plan on keeping an eye out on @abh12345 to make sure he's holding up his end of the bargain haha, but truthfully, this is one thing I'm happen to give up control over! I know he will do a great joy with my votes.
However did I miss this reply of yours @simplymike? Thanks for stopping by and providing your insight on the aforementioned witnesses.
As for handing over control to Asher, it 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?
Life is boring without us right? Thanks for engaging with Mike @lynncoyle1! ;)
No worries, @beeyou, there are so many things I miss, every day again :0)
I assume (but I’m not sure) you mean yabapmatt when you say Matt?
I agree voting for witnesses is a very personal thing. I can relate to Asher’s decision to not vote on bot owners. Everyone is trying his own thing to give bot owners less power. If only STINC would come into play and wipe them all out. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Content that would be rewarded by curators only? But it’ll never be more than a dream, I guess...
Yes, I mean yabapmatt. :)
I plan on not writing posts until I catch up to everything, then something I read piques my interest and there I go, wanting to write another post when I don't even have time to respond to comments!
Ahh..that's another discussion topic there @simplymike. The chances of STINC coming to play is slim. I support the limit of rewarding up to 4 posts/day to avoid reward abuse (which they initially had implemented but then removed) but I don't see that happening either.
As for content rewards from curators...it would be the steemians with SP that would ultimately determine content worth right? And who do they support? Surely not the redfishes.
True... unfortunately. So the system is just set up to not work...
Lol - I never thought of him as ‘Matt’ - from his username, I assumed he was Japanese or Korean or so.
Just clicked through to his profile to see his pic, and saw he had done the name challenge, hahaha
