RE: The Witness (Circle Jerk) n-Person Prisoner's Dilemma, and the richlist Witness Votes - Some solid numbers for you to digest

in #steem7 years ago

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?

Sort:  

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:

"@abit 1965991 Proxies via @abitmore: abit aggroed agoric.systems arhag ausbitbank bacchist bhuz busy.witness cervantes chitty curie felixxx furion good-karma ihashfury klye liondani neoxian pfunk riverhead roelandp smooth.witness someguy123 steem-id thecryptodrive timcliff viva.witness wackou witness.svk Another very familiar looking list of names"

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.
