RE: My own 2 cents about HF23 and PUBLIC WITNESS VOTING
Delete my witness votes?
You know what I call that: self-censorship. It is very common in my country where there is a dictatorial regime.
But as you say, it's a way to keep yourself safe.
Although I have a doubt. In the blockchain there is always a trace of all the transactions, so if we withdraw the votes from all the witnesses, it will always be known who I voted for in the past.
Really, if the hangman wants to drop his guillotine, nothing will stop him.
Dear @juanmolina
And what's wrong with it? Would you not self-censorship yourself knowing that your votes (during election) are public and even your neighbour, police officer from next block or some thugs who are against your candidate would know who you supported with your vote?
Witness votes should not be public.
Yours, Piotr
Maybe you're right.
What makes me hesitate to erase my votes to please certain possible executioners is the fact that they will be able to know who I voted for in the past.
And if their intentions are revenge, they will still find a reason to act.
