RE: The Witness (Circle Jerk) n-Person Prisoner's Dilemma, and the richlist Witness Votes - Some solid numbers for you to digest
I'm curious about the mentions of proxies. I do not understand whether the accounts that mention proxies are granting their proxy, or receiving the proxies of others.
Could you clarify this for me please?
Rather than manually voting, you can give the task to another user. Or, as with @smooth.witness, @smooth does the voting, and his witness votes the same. Another user has some account called @pumpkin, which I suspect is in fact an alt account.
I understand what a proxy is, I just don't understand which way the proxies are going in your post. Who is granting the proxy, and who is granted the proxy?
Sorry if I was unclear, or if there is some way to understand from your post that I am just too dense to see.
If it says vote is proxied on a user, that means the named other user makes the votes that apply to the user who has proxied to another.
user 1 proxies -> user 2
user 1 < votes as set by user 2
Proxy means acting on the behalf or as an intermediary or go-between. Like an agent or so.
So, where you wrote:
All of the names after @bitmore give @abitmore their proxy? @abitmore votes for them?
It's exactly what it says. @abit's witness votes are proxied from @abitmore, and after the colon is the list of who @abitmore votes on (and thus @abit)
It's the same user, a different account.
Ah, thank you.
