Thanks for this.
I'm looking at the witness votes data from the RPC server, and am unable to replicate the correct order of witnesses, I wondered whether you are able to explain the formula by which the witness scores/positions are determined?
I've tried assigning the sum of the vests from each voter, but that doesn't seem to be correct.
Any ideas would be great.
You probably have to also factor in the proxy votes. I haven't yet tried to determine the order of the witnesses myself directly from the raw data yet.
Ah thanks that's great! That could well explain the difference, I haven't been looking for proxy votes.
I've just voted for your witness - for the little my two accounts are worth!
I've incorporated the proxy votes now, and the order is much more similar, see here:

Thanks again.
