RE: My Entry for the Jitterbug Blockchain Cryptocurrency Challenge
Hi Sharon!
I am gonna quickly help you with this question
One small example of this is witness voting at steemit. I’m convinced I should do it and have voted for some witnesses. But how do I know who is a good witness?
A good witness is very social, runs the Steem network on high performance servers with a very long uptime (aka no restarts) and he improves Steem in some way.
Take a look at the top 5. Are they posting? Do they answer comments? Are they active in communities? Are they greedy with upvotes? Do they actively do something to improve Steem?
If the answer to most of these questions is "no" then look no further, they are not doing a good job and you should remove your vote.
There is more to witnessing then just running a server and there are over 400 witnesses which are not displayed on the official top 50 witness list.
Check out this list by @Drakos to see all witnesses: https://steemian.info/witnesses
Hi Philip - thank you so much for your input - You do not know how much I appreciate this. I had no idea about the 400+ at all. I have voted for a few not-on-the-list because I do know them and relate to them.
I saw you are going for it after I made my recent changes and you of all people most definitely have my vote next time I go in there to update my votes - later this week for sure. You are exactly the type of person to get things done and I am really happy to see you trying it.
Thank you Sharon! I can recommend the following witnesses: @TimCliff, @Ura-soul, @Quochuy, @drakos & @sircork.
They are all active and care about the community.
Thanks for the recommendations Philip. I will look. I think @ura-soul is the only one of them I have seen in 9 months here. I'm not recognizing the other names but I will put it on my list to go over to their blogs.
