Take Action: Support Active Witnesses on Hive

avatar

Hey, everyone! Part of Hive’s decentralization relies on its witnesses. For the system to work as intended, everyone with a stake should get involved and vote for active witnesses who are contributing to the blockchain.

In this clip:

  • Engage in Hive Governance
  • Check your witness votes and support active contributors
  • Withdraw support from inactive witnesses

It’s easy to forget to check if the witnesses you’ve voted for are still active. Doing this a few times a year is a good practice. Getting involved supports the decentralization of the platform.

There’s not much rotation among the top witnesses. With the way governance works on Hive, it’s hard for someone to lose their position at the top once they’re there. That’s why it’s crucial to remove support from inactive witnesses and back those who are currently contributing.

And while you’re at it, consider supporting the leofinance witness!

I use all my votes and review them periodically. There are a few inactive witnesses who rank quite highly. People can use a proxy if they trust them.

Everyone can check the actual Witness-List on

with a lot of Details to check on. To check if someone is voting for an invalid Witness you can check out the Tool from @primersion under: https://primersion.com/witnesses by enter a Username in the Searchbox. Every single HIVE-User / InLeo User have 30 Witness Votes to cast and everyone should participate in the Hive Witness Voting and use all the 30 available Votes. And by the Way - u dont need to Vote for Top 20 - Also a bunch of Lower-Ranked Witness doing a great Job on this Platform helping to make HIVE and yes, Inleo with it, a better and more decentralized Place in the World of Blockchains.

Greetings from Witness-Rank #44 - Doing my Part in example for Security Researches day by day.

Yes, more people should get active in witness voting. More whales should move their votes to people (and more importantly, projects) who are actually contributing to the growth of this blockchain

If someone doesn't have time, they can proxy a trusted third party. I recommend @leo.voter as an option

Being a witness myself I'm always keeping tabs on other witnesses and the witness list in general, If I see someone is missing blocks I'll give them a nudge if able to in case they missed it. Same with price feeds.

In fact just today I shuffled some votes about.

Personally I've been in it for 3+ years at this point, slowly grinding my way up.

I run everything from home away from datacenters so keeping to that true decentralized nature.

I'm a hive witness supporting the blockchain please consider voting for me.

It's great you're involved and active. We need more good witnesses

We also need people to wake up and shift votes from inactive witnesses. We're still carrying their dead weight around and all they do is dump Hive

Was this post meant as satire, or is the irony just that strong naturally? ;-)

Sure, I agree, it's very important to take an active role in Hive governance, and yes, it's important to pay attention to what's going on with witnesses. That was how we were able to hold the line at the time of the hostile takeover attempt from Yuchen and its minions.

"I think it is crazy that we are not in top20."

And on that part I strongly disagree. No, it isn't crazy. A witness's job is to provide security and reliability to the network. They are expected to produce blocks.

I think you are literally missing that.

One job, missing
