Steemit Mutual Witness Report - Who Hasn't Voted You Back?
@jerrybanfield commented here suggesting a tool that shows votes back and forth because this will be very helpful to see which witnesses voting for us and we vote for.
This is a nice idea so here, I present this tool to you:
https://helloacm.com/tools/steemit/mutual-witness/
Enter Your Steem ID and press Enter, wait a few seconds, and the tool will give you these information:
- How many vote you as witness (your supporters). The full list is linked via this tool.
- How many you have supported (your witness votes), this tools has been presented in here
- How many have not voted back? The list will be among your votes that do not vote you back as witness. Please note that some may vote you through their proxies (this is hard and I am still working on it).
- Mutual Supporters: You vote him/her and he/she votes you as well!

Witness API
API Calling Example is:
https://helloacm.com/api/steemit/witness_voters/?cached&id=justyy
It will return JSON-encoded data which has the four sub-arrays:
- voted (Who vote you)
- votes (Who you vote)
- not (Who has not voted you back)
- both (Mutual voters)
If $_GET parameter s is not specified, this API will use the $_POST variable id instead.
curl -X POST https://helloacm.com/api/steemit/witness_voters/ -d "id=justyy"

Thank you!
@justyy thank you very much for making this incredibly helpful tool for witnesses to help quickly check on mutual support for each other with votes and for anyone else to easily see which witnesses mutually support each other also!
I will resteem!
Do you make decisions about who you vote for as a witness based on how it dierectly impacts you or based on the value that witness brings to the community?
If your criteria for witness votes revolves around who reciprocates your vote, I have to question whether you understand what secures a DPOS chain and what destroys it. If the top witnesses only vote based on reciprocation, how is that different than a ruling class which keeps themselves in power instead of empowering those who provide the most value to the network of users? Vote buying destroys the integrity of DPOS and making voting decisions based on reciprocation and not benefit to the network could be seen as a form of vote buying.
Luke, I had exactly the same concern when I read the original suggestion for this and you have articulated what I considered responding perfectly here. The last thing the blockchain needs is a witness circlejerk - we all see how that goes down in general day to day steem operations.
Unfortunately @jerrybanfield either didn't see my comment or feel the need to reply. He's now a top 20 witness who (in the past) openly participated in vote buying and has changed his votes based on how people vote for him. This, to me, is a concern which should be addressed by the community. I've had a number of personal conversations with Jerry prior to making this comment.
Other DPOS chains have been harmed by this activity and there's talk of the EOS chain not allowing vote-buying directly in their constitution. We have to police this activity ourselves and make it clear why it's destructive. Votes for witnesses (and for posts) should be communicating a signal, not noise. If people are paid to vote, then there is no signal. It all becomes noise. Payment comes in many forms, including rewarding someone with a reciprocal vote which translates into witness pay.
Thank you very much for this incredible idea!
You have down so much for this platform @jerrybanfield .i will add you to my witness list.
Can you also create a percentage support metric that shows how much a users support counts for the witness ranking?
Also, I would like to see all the inactive accounts supporting each witness.
The more transparency the better!
As not being a witness your information and the presented tools are very help full and interesting even for me. Maybe it is possible for you to explain in coming post to some extend the background knowledge available to you and some witnesses, so others can even benefit more from the posts. Thank you.
@justyy awesome innovation
This is one of the best innovation i have ever seen on steemit.... Its really a good idea and i buy it anytime
Haha good innovation, its for the people who don't vote the post,
Good work by dear justtyy
Thank you! That's pretty neat!
Thank you, just voted you as a witness! (didn't know you are witness)
Thank you for your support to my witness! I really appreciate it. I'm following you now. I just recently rediscovered your Steem app and it's quite impressive. I'll look at your addon later.
Thank you. I have just made a small update: Witness Tool Update: How Many Blocks Have You Produced in the Last 24 Hours?
