Following up, I am writing to let you know something did not work with this:
Source: Following the Liotes Hive Witness link, at the bottom of your post
When I went to the Witness page, using PeakD, I still did not have any Witnesses showing up as Approved.
I did figure out how to find the transaction history, which appears to confirm that my vote did get registered as Approved.
Maybe a time lag of some sort on PeakD's Witness page? After this much time has gone by? Well, I do not know, but thought you might want to know.
FWIW, coming back to check, I now see that my Witness vote is showing on PeakD's Witness page. Why it took this much time, on a blockchain that markets how quickly its transactions are executed is unknown to me.
Anyway ... No need to respond, as it did show up eventually.
