Check the WITNESS DESCRIPTION

in #witness5 years ago (edited)

Witness descriptions has actually been around for a while, however we wanted to highlight this feature to show users where they can find more information for voting and to educate witnesses so they could add their description.

WHAT IS THE WITNESS DESCRIPTION?

Witness Description is a decentralized bit of Data in the witness account (which a witness can easily fill out) to help voters understand what the witness does for Steem, or why someone should consider voting for them.

WHY?

Because voters have a hard enough time learning who they should vote for, what that witness does and even though big voters are likely more well versed with their options, (partly because they have been around a long time) it's nice to get all users involved with voting and this description can help voters in making decisions.


WHERE IS IT SHOWN?

While any witness list CAN show these descriptions easily... to my knowledge https://steempeak.com/ may be the only interface presently showing it.

If you're on https://steempeak.com/ you can easily click this image to view it larger


WHERE IT IS EDITED?

Any interface is technically able to easily impliment this system, it's just a matter of editing metadata on a profile...
However to our knowledge only SteemPeak has an easy interface to add the text.

STEP 1 - Go to your witness profile
STEP 2 - ACTIONS >> EDIT PROFILE

STEP 3 - Add text to "Witness Description"

STEP 4 - Continue - Sign transaction with Active Key

CORDIAL INVITATION

We invite pages that show witness ranks to add this data to their sites.

Also invite you to give witnesses an option for editing their description.

We invite witnesses to edit their witness description.

Many of them may just not have known that it's been around for a bit:

A BIG THANKS FROM ALL THE SMALL VOTERS

All the voters who don't have a lot of information to go off of really appreciate at least having these descriptions to start off their research.

So thanks to the witnesses that have put in their information

Excellent addition for witness description. I'll update my own very soon.

You all are great and do so much to improve the Steem experience and will always have my vote!

Thanks. I forgot to ask, how is the publish page now? Do you have a bit more space when writing?

Yes, thank you. It is working out pretty good. I do like that they are separate so I can scroll to different or the same places in the post to check things.

with the help from people like you, we would experience Steem better
