That is the number of vests. The amount of SP equates to vests. It is the weight that your vote is worth. There are two types of voting weight. The first type is for your normal voting. These vests are a combination of the amount of SP you have and the amount of Delegated SP. Then there is the type that is only for witness voting. These vests are only calculated from the amount of SP you own and does not include delegation.
Lets say for instance:
To be ranked as a whale, one would need 1 Billion Vests.
To be ranked as an orca, one would need 100 Million Vest
To be ranked as a dolphin, one would need 10 Million Vests
To be ranked as a minnow, one would need 1 Million Vests
To put this in perspective, our combined voting power so far is about 1/3 of a Whale Vote. Right now there are only 37 active whales on Steemit.
Thank you for supporting witnesses. I am not a witness, however you can support my cause by promising to use a witness vote to vote the witness that gets STEEM or SBD listed on a major exchange. You can do this by responding. Here are the details.

Ok. Thanks for the link. So what are the numbers next to the names? Not votes?
