Now then, I may have this wrong but I'm sure from my short time on Steemit back in the day there was a 'thing' or craze for a while where people would publish a post informing the community of which witnesses they would vote for. Perhaps this trend still continues on Steemit I don't know but I haven't come across it on Hive so much.
I remember some of these posts, exclusively devoted to declaring their witnesses support, would be accompanied by some kind of explanatory note elaborating on why they chose particular witnesses over others.
Anyway, ever since I joined Hive over two months ago I have been meaning to sort out some witness votes but I have taken my time trying to figure out who I should support. I am still working out who people are and what they represent, this of course take a little while, sometimes longer.
However, I have now finally got my act together and figured out who my first sixteen witnesses votes are going to and I am sharing them in this post. I will not be tagging any of the witnesses as I am not trying to vote grab. I am simply sharing with the community who I think are the best witnesses for the chain, in my humble opinion.
This of course is just over half the witness votes I am allowed to cast, which means I have another fourteen to go. I will, again, take my time and not be rushed into voting for witnesses. I think we should all do our homework when it comes to supporting witnesses.
Fortunately the Hive blockchain has a lot of decent witnesses operating on chain and doing good things for the ecosystem, and there is no way I can vote for all the witnesses I would like to when we have an allocation of no more than thirty votes.
Thanks to all of you witnesses out there who keep producing those blocks and help to keep the chain functioning smoothly.
Peace!
