DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR HIVE WITNESSES ? ENGLISH / SPANISH

A19B6A982DA1435EA665400C090A436C.jpeg

Seriously, do you know what a witness is?

( Or, a Hive Witness in this specific matter. )

Why should we, you/ I care?

Have you voted your 30 witnesses?
And if you did, do you review?
and how many times do you review your list?

❤️

After the SUNSTEEM experience this was a thing on everybody’s mind, because the witnesses were topic in many conversations. And with the birth of Hive everybody , hopefully changed their list and voted for 30. Some people are still confused as to what a witness is. There's a lot of mixed information and i see so many with a few votes or none. There is maybe not enough new information as to what a witness does, and how much they earn. I'm here to clear this up with this post, with simple and short explanations where possible.

After the re~birth of Hive and the succes of the platform with all of you, we are also successfully onboarding. We are onboarding so many new people these days with so many great initiatives, via twitter, and for example the new HI FROM HIVE by @livinguktaiwan and all kinds of challenges that I feel there is a new blog needed to educate or better create awareness. Feel free to add any information in the comments , and I will adjust the blog.

Create awareness is the key, a key to knowledge but in a simple straight way to start with, so we have all accounts at 30 witnesses when they are blogging. Witnesses process the blocks that make up the entire blockchain. The chain on which you put your ideas, thoughts and daily must~writes on. If I may say pretty important.
Some people are still confused as to what a witness is. I saw that in the blog by @bluemist and as I had a draft on @peakd I decided to do the blog today.

❤️

What is a witness?

A witness is a fundamental part in how the blockchain, in this case Hive blockchain functions. Some people might not be aware of this, but without witnesses you cannot blog! A witness is a person who owns and operates a witness server (which produces the blocks on the blockchain), and they publish a price feed of Hive to the network.
So Witnesses first produce blocks, but second and even as important is they produce a price feed, which is how Hive B Dollars are always worth 1 US Dollar in Hive, using the 7 day exchange for reference and control.

❤️

Why should YOU care?
WITNESSES are voted for.
They get voted on, by people like YOU. People that love the blockchain Hive and blogging on Hive. It's just like an election, if you don't vote, other people may vote in witnesses who are malicious or simply unreliable.
Why would you want that?
Witnesses play the role of consensus (decide whether to hard fork or not) next one is scheduled.
I will do another blog about that later. For now voting is most important.
Many witnesses, work on important things to help the HIVE network function and grow, and get the word out that we are the best. I know many witnesses are frequent visitors in many discords to have answers to many questions. Or just to show they are dedicated. Some witnesses don't produce any content but do vote and comment on blogs by you and me.

If I haven’t convinced you about VOTING NOW, my blog didn’t do what it was supposed to do and I will take you to the place where the witnesses are shown.

Go to the drop down menu in Peakd. @peakd has the overview and its clear.

72994FAC691A4479906CC4672483E373.jpeg

Go to WITNESSES

F7A3AD2E9810415EA98322D1B6B48E43.png

This is my list. I am always open to suggestions. Voting is done when the Vote square is blue.

2BD48A88815343609706D697BA8BA1F2.jpeg

The link is always displayed is you want to go to the witness page, or account for more information. A proxy is also possible, but always try to give your proxy to someone you trust.
We have several witnesses in OUR DISORD the Terminal, we @thekittygirl @xcountytravelers and me are grateful for that trust and all of them are excellent, in our humble opinion:

@c0ff33a, @enginewitty, @followbtcnews, @gtg, @guiltyparties, @untersatz

Generally, it is advised to observe the witnesses on-chain and in the discords and vote for the ones that you think are doing a good job keeping servers running, the ones that align with your opinions on governance of the chain, and the ones who are the most conscientious about working for the good of the blockchain and its sustainability.
But thats the in the Terminal.

Coming back to the reason for the blog. The blog by @bluemist
( https://hive.blog/hivewitness/@bluemist/who-are-your-top3-witness )
WHO ARE YOUR TOP 3?
Dear @bluemist, I have 30, all with their own qualities, additions and views. That is what it is now, but might be different next months. So I choose not to make a choice and name drop only three.
I appreciate the BLOCK WORK by all. I also was amazed by the voting of people commenting on your blog. Clearly we all as early adapters and witnesses didn’t make it clear enough to vote.

So I call on :
@starstrings01, @issymarie2, @edmundocentenor, @nachomolina, @mballesteros, @ambarvegas, @betzaelcorvo, @danielvehe, @josehany, @teenagecrypto, @syllem, @nayromero, @wendyth16, @lucianav, @evelynchacin
and all others that commented to the blog,
help out or go and vote.
( if you mind me tagging you leave me a comment )
If you have questions, there is so much available online.
Also put the two most important tasks on the agenda for today or tomorrow.
VOTING and HIVE POWER UP DAY
The two things that are important
FOR NOW!
ANYWAY,
WORK IS NEVER DONE
ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
OF OPPORTUNITIES

THANKS IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

@Abh12345, if the caliente workout is done would you consider putting the witness voting row back in the engagement league numbers on sunday, just for awareness?


SPANISH

En serio, ¿sabes qué es un testigo?
(O un Testigo de la colmena en este asunto específico).

¿Por qué debería importarnos a nosotros?

¿Ha votado a sus 30 testigos?
Y si lo hiciste, ¿opinas?
y cuantas veces revisa su lista?

❤️

Después de la experiencia de SUNSTEEM, esto estaba en la mente de todos, porque los testigos fueron tema de muchas conversaciones. Y con el nacimiento de Hive, todos, con suerte, cambiaron su lista y votaron por 30. Algunas personas todavía están confundidas sobre lo que es un testigo. Hay mucha información mixta y veo mucha con pocos votos o ninguno. Puede que no haya suficiente información nueva sobre lo que hace un testigo y cuánto gana. Estoy aquí para aclarar esto con esta publicación, con explicaciones simples y breves cuando sea posible.

Después del renacimiento de Hive y el éxito de la plataforma con todos ustedes, también nos estamos incorporando con éxito. Estamos incorporando a tanta gente nueva en estos días con tantas iniciativas geniales, a través de Twitter y, por ejemplo,
el nuevo HI FROM HIVE de @livinguktaiwan y todo tipo de desafíos que creo que se necesita un nuevo blog para educar o crear mejor conciencia. Siéntase libre de agregar cualquier información en los comentarios, y ajustaré el blog.

68AD3347783742D89AA4311D64F20A4D.jpeg

Crear conciencia es la clave, una clave para el conocimiento, pero de una manera simple y directa para empezar, por lo que tenemos todas las cuentas en 30 testigos cuando están blogueando. Los testigos procesan los bloques que componen toda la cadena de bloques. La cadena en la que pones tus ideas, pensamientos y deberes diarios ~ escribe. Si puedo decir bastante importante.
Algunas personas todavía están confundidas sobre lo que es un testigo. Lo vi en el blog de @bluemist y como tenía un borrador en @peakd decidí hacer el blog hoy.

❤️

¿Qué es un testigo?
Un testigo es parte fundamental en el funcionamiento de blockchain, en este caso Hive blockchain. Es posible que algunas personas no se den cuenta de esto, pero sin testigos no se puede bloguear. Un testigo es una persona que posee y opera un servidor testigo (que produce los bloques en la cadena de bloques), y publica un feed de precios de Hive en la red.
Entonces, los Testigos primero producen bloques, pero en segundo lugar e incluso tan importante es que producen un feed de precios, que es como los dólares de Hive B siempre valen 1 dólar estadounidense en Hive, utilizando el intercambio de 7 días como referencia y control.

❤️

725223ADF14548E5AECE32F92556ECB1.jpeg

¿Por qué debería importarle a USTED?
Los TESTIGOS son votados.
Son votados por personas como USTED. Personas que aman la cadena de bloques Hive y los blogs de Hive. Es como una elección, si no vota, otras personas pueden votar a testigos maliciosos o simplemente poco confiables.
¿Porqué querrías eso?
Los testigos desempeñan el papel de consenso (deciden si se hace un hard fork o no) el próximo está programado.
Haré otro blog sobre eso más tarde. Por ahora votar es lo más importante.
Muchos testigos trabajan en cosas importantes para ayudar a que la red HIVE funcione y crezca, y hacen correr la voz de que somos los mejores. Sé que muchos testigos son visitantes frecuentes en muchos desacuerdos para tener respuestas a muchas preguntas. O simplemente para demostrar que están dedicados. Algunos testigos no producen ningún contenido, pero votan y comentan en blogs tuyos y míos.

F678E91BB8384C2489E10DFD79E29B1C.jpeg

Si no los he convencido de VOTAR AHORA, mi blog no hizo lo que se suponía que debía hacer y los llevaré al lugar donde se muestran los testigos.

Vaya al menú desplegable en Peakd. @peakd tiene la descripción general y está claro.

72994FAC691A4479906CC4672483E373.jpeg

Ir a TESTIGOS

F7A3AD2E9810415EA98322D1B6B48E43.png

Esta es mi lista. Siempre estoy abierto a sugerencias. La votación se realiza cuando el cuadro de votación es azul.

2BD48A88815343609706D697BA8BA1F2.jpeg

El enlace siempre se muestra si desea ir a la página del testigo o cuenta para obtener más información. Un proxy también es posible, pero siempre intente dar su proxy a alguien en quien confíe.
Tenemos varios testigos en NUESTRO TRASTORNO la Terminal, nosotros @thekittygirl @xcountytravelers y yo estamos agradecidos por esa confianza y todos ellos son excelentes, en nuestra humilde opinión:

@c0ff33a, @enginewitty, @followbtcnews, @gtg, @guiltyparties, @untersatz

En general, se recomienda observar a los testigos en la cadena y en los desacuerdos y votar por los que cree que están haciendo un buen trabajo manteniendo los servidores en funcionamiento, los que se alinean con sus opiniones sobre la gobernanza de la cadena y los que son los más conscientes de trabajar por el bien de blockchain y su sostenibilidad.
Pero eso está en la Terminal.

❤️

Volviendo al motivo del blog. El blog de @bluemist
(https://hive.blog/hivewitness/@bluemist/who-are-your-top3-witness)
¿Quiénes son tus 3 mejores?
Estimado @bluemist, tengo 30, todos con sus propias cualidades, adiciones y puntos de vista. Eso es lo que es ahora, pero podría ser diferente los próximos meses. Así que elijo no tomar una decisión y nombrar solo tres.
Agradezco el TRABAJO EN BLOQUE de todos. También me sorprendió la votación de las personas que comentaron en su blog. Claramente, todos nosotros, como primeros adaptadores y testigos, no lo dejamos lo suficientemente claro para votar.

Entonces llamo a:
@starstrings01, @issymarie2, @edmundocentenor, @nachomolina, @mballesteros, @ambarvegas, @betzaelcorvo, @danielvehe, @josehany, @teenagecrypto, @syllem, @nayromero, @wendyth16, @lucianav, @evelynchacin
y todos los demás que comentaron en el blog,
ayuda o ve a votar.
(si te importa que te etiquete déjame un comentario)
Si tiene preguntas, hay mucho disponible en línea.
También ponga las dos tareas más importantes en la agenda para hoy o mañana.
VOTACIÓN Y EL DÍA DEL ENCENDIDO DE LA COLMENA
¡Las dos cosas que son importantes
POR AHORA!

DE TODAS FORMAS,
EL TRABAJO NUNCA SE HACE
EN LA BLOCKCHAIN
U OPORTUNICIONES

Bang, I did it again... I just rehived your post!
Week 20 of my contest just started...you can now check the winners of the previous week!
4

Always a pleasure

Hey ya. Thanks for a big time reminder about @bluemist's post. I'm not having a real good week and didn't get it answered-yet :)

I believe really strongly that the witness voting limit should be lowered to 10 or maybe even 7. That and eliminating decay voting would do much to help with the witness transparency.

Anyway. I only vote for 12, and I have added/removed in the last week. I think it is just essential for citizenship on hive. We have several in common, you and I.

Thanks for a great post about a necessary subject!

But when now it's stil 30 and the reason we can blog so untill than could you consider 30 ?

I'm a big fan of 'be the change you want to see', so I'll stay limited. But I would consider adding witnesses outside the top 20...

I'm going to agree with @bigtom13 here @brittandjosie - Witness voting is incredibly complicated and we all have to respect that ultimately it is putting "Your Investment" in a cryptocurrency toward an account you hope will make your investment grow. So while currently we have 30 votes - if you only believe 5 accounts are going to help you Investment - then for sure you should only vote those 5.

I use all 30 of my votes, but that is because being a Witness I appreciate the costs involved - running servers, paying for them, the time taken to get the server running and the time needed to keep it running. Outside the top twenty I doubt any Witness is covering costs, I know I have never even broken even - and that's before I added two new servers to run my full node https://api.c0ff33a.uk

But as a Witness I am not running these servers and supporting the blockchain to gain rank - I'm doing it because I believe in Hive and the Blockchain, I have made many many good friends on here over the last three years and by running these servers I support the blockchain, my investment, and the friends I have made.

That said I really appreciate every single Witness Vote - I have 999 right now and to me that is an incredible number of people supporting my efforts.

Outside it perfect, let’s mix and they all do the work so Yes do it ! I have outside aswell
Thank you this is why I did the blog

I don't want to vote for a witness, I want to vote for a Brittness!!!!!

You always give me more work

He said me haffi
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
He see me do mi
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!

That pink coat though I would work for that beauty 😉

Can't stop laughing 😂😂😂

That's a really good summary of what the witnesses do and their functions without going into the politics of it all. It's definitely a good idea for everyone to review their witness votes periodically.

I tried my hardest. For all of us early adapters is something we done a lot. And review when something happens and changing. But 30 , 10 or 7 voting is needed so we need to educate more when you look at the lists from newbies some have NO votes. I hope it works and that many comment so we know what’s needed.
Thanks victor

Thanks for this post. I always had a very general idea of ​​the importance of the Witnesses for us and the correct functioning of the platform, in fact, my vote for the 30 witnesses was one of the first steps I took when I became a user but I really did not have a knowledge in detail of its functions which has become much clearer to me now.
Thanks again!

Well the fact that it was one of the first things you did and votes is more than most people did, and we need to change that if we want to have a solid blockchain. So thank you and please tell your friends or ask the question: DID YOU VOTE YOUR 30 WITNESSES

About a month ago I did a post in which I mentioned that I removed my vote for 9 of them. Nine witnesses, who, in my opinion should be role models, were (at that moment) powering down substantial amounts.
A leader, leads by example. And considering the current (Hive)situation, hardly growing AND a price value that goes lower and lower, powering down to me a bad example of leadership.

Absolutely care to share the names ?

Better not.
Haven't checked after that, but some may have completed their 13 weeks by now.
At that particular moment it were 9 from the top 20. And 3 between place 20 and 30.
I ain't affraid for any downvote from them, but putting their names here could encourage to do as I did. And that was (and still) is Not my goal/aim with the act I did. It was something personal, something that I found I had to do to make a point.

If you wanna know who is still powering down simply go to that peakD witness list, click on nr 1, 2 etc. and then Wallet and see if and how much is being powered down every week

Understand that ofcourse. I will and the aim for the blog is that people with zero votes getting to vote

You´re putting in a lot of time and effort in Hive, which I admire.
I can´t, at least not as i did in the beginning.
You take care.

You did the same in the beginning I hope I will have succes

Btw, I think you´ll recognize this.
IMG_3338.JPG
I had a job in your city to do today, close by that bridge.

Jazeker dat is onze zwaan hoop dat Rotterdam je beviel 😉

Ontvangen worden met koffie en ik ben al bij voorbaat verkocht, hahaha.

As long as I do not fully know enough witnesses, I trust your choices by giving you my proxy: thank you, @brittandjosie!

image.png

The fact that you took the time to read and learn and vote is nice. A proxy vote can always be revoked at any other day. So when you learned some more on the platform you can review again.

It wasn’t my intention but I thank you for the trust

My pleasure, darling!

I'm a @peakd lover: I appreciate the completeness of functions and its simplicity to access them... assigning you the proxy was very easy!

And thanks to @jarvie, who allowed me to create my account on HIVE! 🙏

@peakd is the place to go for over sight in your account. All is there nothing else needed and I am great that the proxy was easy

That's it.
I will definitely use @peakd to write my #introduceyourself post within a few days: stay tuned! 😏

I will, and you might get featured inthe @heyhaveyamey daily blog

I did it because I definitely understand who they are and what they are. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this important part. Regards

Please make a post yourself for the @bleumist contest and tell newer followers you have which didn’t vote yet the who what and why
Greetz and thanx

I will. Thanks for your support.

Great comprehensive and forward knowledge about witnesses😎 Passed this on to help spread some awareness and also in hopes it will reach someone who needs it.

On a side note, I don't think @untersatz has an operable witness right now.

Posted using Dapplr

Thank you , I need for it to work and get people voting again. Not cHave the appreciator votes.

And He doesn’t but is in the server 😉 the terminal

I think you did the same thing which you were complaining about others, maybe you did not read my post properly and only got stuck with appreciator part(still don't know why).

My objective was to know the REASON behind those votes. Just blindly voting 30 witness is not an accomplishment, you also need to teach people why to vote anyone, again my post was not guide on witnessship but you did a great post on How to vote any witness.

I have 30, all with their own qualities, additions and views.

You did mentioned few names up there although you were saying you will not get into names. For example Why do you vote for c0ff33a or untersatz? I wanted to know what addition, addition or view they have which made you vote for them. It was that simple

Read i said, they ( the names that were in the blog ) were in our server the terminal, i wouldnt get into 3 names out my 30.

When I read the @bluemist post I thought that there is really a lot of ignorance about witnesses and their work, that is why in my post I wanted to convey this knowledge and the reasons why I chose them.

I don't fully know everyone's work and I still don't have my 30 votes, I think it's a job that needs time to think.

I believe that explaining the reasons why I chose these 3 will allow those who read me to know a little bit about the work they do and under their criteria and perhaps my opinion to cast a vote that until now they had not done.

I didn't do my post to help @bluemist to have something to read and vote on. I did it to apport something to the community.

The best way to help yours and our community is to vote for 30 , and learn what they do for hive so this might be your next project 😉

No comprendo cúal es el llamado ¿Qué me pides que haga?

No comprendo cúal es el llamado ¿Qué me pides que haga?

That you go and vote for the hive witnesses

Nice, informative article highlighting the witnesses' work and importance to to Hive. Thanks for your efforts.

I hope all who read do make an informative vote for their choice.

Well not a lot have read it and made 30 choices i am afraid

yes I did (30 of them)
and I always vote for @blocktrades fav witness

30 votes that’s great and highly appreciated and needed for the future

Its the 1st time I did it
did not do it on Steem back in old days
but here - for I now fully understand its important and I like the HIVE vibe and energy and community efforts esp on twitter.
