Today I've been learning about witness voting. It seems like there's a lot of work and responsibility associated with the role. I get 30 votes, and so far I've used 2. My gut says that going off the witness post or their blog timeline isn't probably the smartest way to choose. I'm new and I've not been here long enough to really understand who cares about the community genuinely.
While I'm not in any hurry to use all of my votes, I feel I should use a few. Afterall, they're the keepers of the blockchain. I'd like to give 3 of my votes to great witnesses. So for this reason, if you're reading this, I would love it if you'd nominate a witness in the comments. Let me know why you think they're a great witness and some real things they've done for the community.
Maybe others will vote as well.
I'll pick next week. :)

Thank you so much!
Nice post in drawing attention to a seriously important issue. There is some great material about (great post from @kenistyles in last 24ish hours) that really help to clarify and inform new steem members. I, like you, have only voted for 3 and am holding fire till I understand the nuances a little more.
I went and read his article after you mentioned it. I agree, it's something to do wisely. But I want to learn all about it, so I don't want to give my votes for someone else to handle. He would be a good person to though. He is very involved and does the research also.
I think @truce would be most deserving of a nomination. His posts and videos add genuine value to the platform. He encourages newcomers. His overall attitude is one I think reflects what Steemit should be. If he's nominated, I would give him all my votes.
@truce is really cool. Didn't know he is a witness though.
@omitaylor First of all whats up buddy how you been! Thanks, as much as I love steemit and contribute, I currently do not have the time needed to dedicate as a witness. I have given my vote to @therealwolf he is doing a amazing job so far and has my full support and endorsement. He is definitely worth taking a look into!
I don't think he is. Just saying I think he would be a good one.
@johnphoenix Whats up bossman I greatly appreciate the mention! As much as I love steemit and contribute, I currently do not have the time needed to dedicate as a witness. I have given my vote to @therealwolf he is doing an amazing job so far and has my full support and endorsement. He is definitely worth taking a look into!
I suspected that would be the case, and it's probably a headache you don't need. I will definitely give your recommendation a lot of weight.

¡Hola @omitaylor! excelente post, saludos
Gracias @celinavisaez
Funny I was just starting to read up on this whole witness business. And just cast two votes. Still not convinced to cast anymore votes...
Whom did you select?
dobatim, teamsteam, and now just voted yabapmatt.
I'm not absolutely knowledgable of everything, but from what I've seen I didn't mind giving them my votes. I know that I can always take the votes away too, so I'm always able to change my opinion. I'd love to get exposed to some do-gooders if anyone know anyone. Thanks.
I selected 10 total so far and will likely round up why in a post soon. :)
Hi @omitaylor,
You may consider voting for me. My announcement thread: https://steemit.com/witness-category/@emrebeyler/announcing-myself-as-a-new-witness-emrebeyler
I will have a look at your thread this afternoon :)
I got to take a look. Wow, you're really active in development. I hope to learn Python one day. I thought of taking an open course on it. So you are a fairly new witness? Are there any things not mentioned in your announcement that you feel is new or that wasn't mentioned? How do you feel about the direction of the platform and are there any key ideas you have for it or its future direction? Thanks for commenting. I'm sure other new people would be happy to get your vision.
Hello. I’m a witness myself, but I nominate drakos because he’s helping other witness and newbies with their account creation on https://steem.chat/channel/help
He also created another list of witness that shows the other witness that are not visible in the top 50 official list. https://steemian.info/witnesses
Is there anyone else, you would personally nominate? And how about yourself? Is there anything significant not outwardly on your announcement thread that you feel is important for voters to know about you or what you're doing? How do you feel about the direction of the platform and are there any significant initiatives you're doing or stand beside? Thanks for commenting too- I appreciate it.Interestingly enough @quochuy, @drakos is one of the two I've already voted for. :)
I’m a young Steemson and even younger witness so I’m not bragging about it too much as I want to take my time and learn about it more. I’m currently trying to help the platform deal with plagiarism but my current main focus is protection against Phishing with an browser extension:
https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@quochuy/steemed-phish-v0-0-16-adding-a-tooltip-to-external-links
And I’m trying to help people understand more about what witnesses are and what they do.
Utopian-io would be another witness. They are a group who support open source projects like the extension I did above by making high value upvote that help financing the project
Thank you @Gaman
