Witness Survey v1

in #witnesssurvey6 years ago (edited)

Before we begin I want to thank each Steemian that took time to submit a question for this survey. Your desire to see our blockchain improve is what will make this this place continue to prosper. As we discussed in our first announcement, we want this project to become a tool for the community to seek out where each witness stands on the issues that matter the most to Steemians like you. We had a total of 19 questions submitted by 10 different Steemians who are seeking to learn more of their elected representatives. You'll be able to find the questions below:



What is your position/stance on bid-bots (ownership/delegations/opinion)? - @abh12345, @ammonite

What does the witness want to do to make the blockchain more user-friendly and help to on-board new users. What do THEY personally want to see done and what will they do to get it there? - @ericwilson

Do you think votes for witnesses should last indefinitely or should they time out (or perhaps decay over time) so that periodically voters will need to reevaluate and affirm their positions by recasting their votes? - @harvhat

Do you think the 30 witness votes each steemian gets is the correct number, especially in light of the fact there are only 20 top witnesses to be seated? - @harvhat

What is a concern or two that you have about the #steem blockchain? - @johnspalding

What are you hopeful about for the #steem blockchain? - @johnspalding

What is the monthly cost of equipment? - @abh12345

Where do your earnings go? - @abh12345

[What are some of your] Current projects? - @abh12345

[Will you provide an] Alt accounts list? - @abh12345

What are the benefits associated with being a witness? - @klassic

How do I become a witness? - @steemingmark

What do you think the SBD [STEEM] price for a new account should be? - @harvhat

What is a witness and how I become a good worker? - @rubaethsyed

Have you implemented any new procedures for evaluating potential hardforks? - @patrickulrich

How does a new user make the availability of his vote known to the cabal of witnesses wannabes trying to overthrow the current witness regime? - @grimgriz

Should we have interest for SBD? - @patrickulrich

What takeaways do you have from the Hardfork 20 issues that occurred? - @patrickulrich

Do you think 20/21 top witnesses a good number or should there be more or less? - @harvhat

Next Steps


We will distribute this survey to every active Steem witness over the coming days via a memo transfer to their Steem wallet with the following text:

Thank you for supporting Steem by maintaining your witness. Steemians have created the first @witnesssurvey questionnaire that we'd like for you to participate in. Please respond to each question within a new Steem post and then leave a comment on this post for us to find your responses by 12/11/2018 so we can share your views with the community. [LINK]
As soon as the survey has been sent to each witness a new post from @witnesssurvey will be created detailing the block that each witness was notified of the survey's existence.

For Witnesses

Please copy and paste the above questions into a Steem post, or as a comment to this post, and respond in line to each question with your response. Once you've created your response post please leave a comment to this post with a link to your submission by no later than December 11, 2018. We will then compile all witness responses into a single post for Steemains to identify where their witnesses stand on the issues that mattered most to them.

For Steemians

Please consider sharing this survey with your fellow Steemians. While we will not be including new questions in this round we do want to bring as much awareness about these important questions that have been asked. We also ask that once responses have been made to the survey that you consider utilizing your witness votes to elect the representatives that best reflect your values and ideals for this community.

Here you go - My answers are all in this post. :)

Always on top of things!!

And under a few too :)

I sincerely thank you for your support of the project! I've enjoyed reading your responses and hope this will bring more Steemian's votes your way.

We will look into it and reply to the questions that most directly relate to us and the ones we have solid opinions on. We'll leave the "cabal" questions to those in the know ;)

Thank you @steempeak! I look forward to your responses and thank you for taking the time to address the project.

Great info, thanks for sharing

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you will join us for V2 of the survey and bring new questions and curation to the project.

Thanks for taking the time to get these questions from the community.It's important that we keep up to date on common issues and concerns within the community and for witness's to keep the community informed. @crimsonclad and myself will try to get these questions answered over the next week and submit them to the chain for the community to read.

Thanks again

Thank you for taking the time to write this up @igormuba! I hope that many Steemians take the time to review your response and consider your campaign.

Thank you for your responses Tim! I think your openness to the community is only one, of the many, reasons why you're regarded as one of the top witnesses.

Thanks :)

Thank you for presenting these varied and interesting questions to inform the community, your post request is currently in a queue and will be attended to once I get caught up commenting on my #SublimeSunday posters, supporting as many communities as I can get to and finally maybe treating myself to doing a coffee of the world post I have been planning for two weeks and just never seem to get the time.

Wow I have to say this is about the worst possible way to make a survey. this is kind of a joke. Half these questions are... um... how to say it politely..........

Passive aggressive much?

Why not actually provide constructive feedback to the project?

hmm maybe scroll up and read my second comment LOL (it is the one that has been voted to the top of this post)

For sure. It was attached to another thread and I did not see it. It wasn't showing at the top on #partiko.

Thanks.

@patrickulrich / @witnesssurvey that is a wonderful idea! I'm sure it helps better convey why we have witnesses, and why people should vote for them.
We will post our Actifit response shortly :)
