BUY MY VOTE FOR WITNESS! ONLY 50,000 SBD PER VOTE! ONE VOTE PER CUSTOMER WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

OK, I'm lying.  Not selling witness votes.

But I will be reviewing who I voted for and why, after a discussion w/ @dwinblood  on his latest post

steemit is kind of like driving a car...you don't have to know how it works down to the code level, but you better be able to check the oil once in a while.

The top 19 witnesses "regulate" the speed and efficiency of the blockchain...if they can' hack it, the system slows down and hiccups.  Another point @dwinblood  made is that some witnesses may not be conducive to a happy steemit community

YMMV on these points as far as your own level of tech expertise and how your vision of our platforms' future plays out.

But at least use your vote for the top 19!

So I will be checking my own votes for witnesses that are
+ active
+ current
+ provide an accounting of what they are up to and the strength of their node
+ don't annoy me on the platform

@timcliff put up a [Witness Voting Guide](https://steemit.com/witness-category/@timcliff/witness-voting-guide)...which is also where this image came from ;>
https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://i.imgsafe.org/90fda39140.png

This should be an ongoing process for a few days, similar to checking your own Followed lists

very good.
since _shaming_ seems to be the thing lately
-self voting comes to mind-,
perhaps we should start a _shame campaign_ against those who do not vote for witnesses?

or even more stupid..those who vote for DEAD witnesses?

>First, make sure your witness' server is active and running. For example, if we look at the top 100 witnesses (https://steemd.com/witnesses), we can see that many are crossed-out, i.e. not actively running their server,

Hi @stevescoins - they actually removed 'mining' in a previous hardfork, and along with that added an additional top witness position. There are now 20 'top' witnesses (instead of 19).

Thanks for the heads-up on that point.  I don't discuss mining, but that was part of the discussion that spawned my interest in witness votes ;)
