What the heck is the purpose for a witness proxy?

Off-topic yes, but maybe an idea for you to do a witness episode?

Anyways, this was an awesome and super easy step-by step! Thanks!

Sort:  

Witness proxy is an account that you chose to vote for witnesses on your behalf.
It's meant for people that don't pay that much of attention to what's going on with witnesses and are comfortable trusting their witness proxy to make those choices for them.
So if you set someone to be your witness proxy, whenever they decide to approve or unapprove some witness, your votes will be exactly the same.

Great explanation! I love that you included a use case, thank you!
