I was looking for the Hive Witness and I am surprised to see that there are lot of new witness in Hive started in past one year and they are in top 100 too. So I compiled the list of new witness from top 100 witness and time passed in months since they started their witness.
| Witness Name | Witness Rank | Witness age | Witness Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| @leofinance | 35 | 5 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @threespeak | 38 | 8 months | Witness is active in chain but last price feed done 12 days ago |
| @deathwing | 41 | 7 month | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @engrave | 44 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @innerhive | 49 | 7 months | Does not look active and last price feed done months ago |
| @r0nd0n | 58 | 9 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @gerber | 60 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @bdcommunity | 63 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @cryptobrewmaster | 66 | 5 months | Witness look active in the blockchain but price feed is not done from last month. |
| @hextech | 68 | 5 months | User of Witness team look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @blue-witness | 77 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @cadawg | 81 | 8 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @rotfl | 86 | 8 months | Inactive and look like price feed is never done. |
| @discovery-it | 87 | 6 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @cervisia | 90 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @tazi | 96 | 7 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
| @mintrawa | 100 | 6 months | Witness look active in the blockchain as well as price feed is also done |
I only included the witness that are started less than a year and currently at top 100 at https://wallet.hive.blog/~witnesses
So today I adjusted my witness vote for new witness, just thought might some new blood at top witness may be more interactive and bring more fresh ideas in the mix overall giving more popularity to Hive Blockchain.
I already voted for leofinance and cryptobrewmaster earlier ,so I am keeping my witness votes as such.
I today added my votes for threespeak (I think it is nice project and I feel @theycallmedan is quite dedicated for growth of Hive). Also added r0nd0n,gerber and cadawg for their development capabilities.
Voted Hextech as I find @edicted post very honest and thought provoking.
May be reshuffling our witness votes might make overall Hive witness more responsive (responsible too, I really hate all the half bake stuff they post asking the community whether they "do this?" in future. I expect witness to come with all pros and cons of their idea before asking the community ,not with very open ended questions.)
Anyways ,if you guys are feeling same to give chance to new witness then feel free to take a look. I know most of us don't care for witness/witness vote but in reality we all should care about them and should raise our concern.
