This is a really quick post. Today I made changes to my witness voting. Most notably I have removed rather a few.
This is not a sign of distrust, disrespect or personal feeling about anyone that I have removed. Most are probably awesome witnesses, but I just don’t remember why I have voted. Sorry guys, it’s really nothing personal. Most probably won’t even notice my vote missing, but I wanted to get this on record as part of me feels bad for doing such a clear down. I also don't like gossip so having my reasons out there should clear the air.
So the only witnesses now on my list are the witnesses that I remember why I have voted for them and I still like what they are doing and want to continue to give my support.
Over the next few weeks I will be reviewing witness posts so I can make a fair judgement on who gets my votes and why. Some of the witnesses I removed may get reinstated and I might also have to make a decision to remove ones I kept this time around.
The witnesses I currently support are @aggroed, @arcange, @castellano, @curie, @demotruk @firepower @followbtcnews @guiltyparties @intelliwitness @justinadams @krnel @lukestokes.mhth @patrice @qurator @steemcommunity @steemgigs @swisswitness @teamsteem @utopian-io @vesteem @xeldal @yehey
It's important to be knowledgeable and discerning when it comes to choosing witnesses. I admire your determination to be mindful in your choices. I've been trying to do the same, gradually. Have a great day @paulag!
I have been putting this on the long finger for a while now but its a deed that needed to be done. It will be a fun few weeks voting ahead for me I think. Thank you for stopping by
I wish more people were like you and thought about who they are voting for and not just handing them out willy nilly to the witnesses who ask for it. I know we have 30 votes but would love to know how many have been voted on what they are in fact doing.
If I just don't remember why I have voted, then to me its an opportunity to look again. You can check out stats for the witnesses here https://steemian.info/witnesses and there is a #witness-category so you can see what they are all doing
I haven't looked as I don't know enough about this place yet. i know what you and Asher are doing so that was fine with me. Votes are important as we want this place to run properly and have a future. If a witness is all about himself and self gain I don't understand why people vote for them.
Hey @cryptoandcoffee if you wish to follow what us witnesses are doing, you can simply follow @witnesspage .
By doing so, you will get all the relevant posts from our witnesses in your feed.
This covers all three of the relevant tags that witnesses use, which are:
witness
witness-category
&
witness-update
All three are just as important and likewise may address different matters, but being from our witnesses they are a reflection of everything, as one of the key moral duties all witnesses have is to ensure Steemians are kept up to date with what they are doing.
Consider @witnesspage to be a page that helps in the effectiveness of relaying relevant information that concerns our witness scene and an all round addition to the ever so necessary process of further enhancing the overall transparency.
Simply click on @witnesspage and click the "Follow", that is all it really takes!
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Not putting all your eggs in one basket. Smart.
Interesting. I've held of voting for witnesses so far as I've no idea what the consequences of it are. Not that my vests would make a difference.
Yes, @paulag you remind us that the witnesses are paid; and, their votes earned. You've kept some real positive game-changers on your list. You've left a couple of my faves off; but, I'm sure you have your reasons...
Best regards.
Peace.
Thanks for keeping us on your list Paula.
Very beautiful post Thanks for the sharing post Many many thank my dear friend
Anda orang yabg ramah yang terlihat sangat ingin membantu semua orang. Anda memilih saksi yang terbaik sesuai penilaian anda.
Sukses buat anda nyonya @paulag. Terimakasih telah memberi cinta pada platform steemit
As you're reviewing your votes you might find my tool helpful.
As you'll see, @justinadams recently shutdown his witness and there's another account that is down, but I'm not seeing an explanation in their blog.
It's good to do a review of our witness votes, but as you see it takes a little work to get a good view of the status of a witness account.
thank you. Updating now. sorry to hear that @justinadams shut down, he had a really good set up, way more that most of the top 50, and he never got a look in. Ah well. I will adjust my votes.
Yeheeeyyyyyy
Glad to know I’m on your list.
I simply upvote Authors with good content and I’m not interested to any steem drama :)
Cheers to you, keep steeming.
And thanks again.
You're pretty great @paulag! This post shows to your considerate character, and it's something I really appreciate :)
This is why you're my proxy because I know you take the position seriously.
Keep on doing what you're doing, even if we disagree on the future of the platform at times ;)
I will put this post in our #witness-information tab
This is a good thing to do. Its not like it can't be found but I think it is important to be able to explain why one has given a vote to a witness
We are very close in both our selections and I am glad that @guiltyparties is in yours.
