RE: How Many Steemians Are NOT Voting for a Witness? I Found the Answer!
I have voted for witnesses and have 18 witness votes remaining, but I do not just want to randomly vote for people just to use up my votes. I saw that you can have someone more knowledgeable vote for you, but it seems it would erase all your previous votes. Is there a way to assign my last 18 votes by proxy without erasing the votes I have already submitted?
I think it would be really helpful if a post like this included how exactly to go about voting for a witness.
Hello Scott. I did include it, but I made the text small. Maybe I should have made it big instead! Haha.
Voting for a Witness
I agree, I didn't even know what a witness was. Still not sure that I do. Is it like a bitcoin node?
It's like the Steem equivalent of a Bitcoin miner.
Nice Comment!
It is like a bitcoin pool that gets to "mine" more blocks, process transactions and get paid for it with newly created tokens.
Unfortunately, no. Using a proxy is an all or nothing approach. If you're voting, cool! No need for a proxy voter, in that case.
Thank you for the reply; much appreciated!
So if i daily vote i should not use proxy? That, when i would sorted out and know to do it :-)
There's a difference between voting on posts and voting for witnesses. One is separate from the other. You can either vote for witnesses directly or you can select a proxy which your account will mirror and vote as they vote.
So, i voted for a witness (@teamsteem) and now you are the second one in https://steemit.com/~witnesses
Is that supposed to be enough?
I also upvote for @steemitboard when i see it in peoples comments (also followed you all).
Upvoting a comment or post is different than giving a witness vote. See the article I link to in the original post for more information. You can vote for up to 30 witnesses, if you like. It's up to you.
thanks a lot
