RE: Witness Update -- Team Sircork

It is exactly this kind of situation that had me withdraw all votes from 'team' witness accounts. My reasons were given more detail in a recent blog posting.

@stuwhisson has been delegated your witness vote, @sircork, until you come to your senses. 😎

Sort:  

Cool when your solos quit, you won't have any then. :D Let me know when that is sensible for you.

I'll continue to opt for teams with more coverage and more voices and opinions in the top 20. When you've been here long enough to get another ten rep levels or so, you'll have been here long enough to know what's really at stake and going on up there with the solo cowboys.

LOL, stu is disabled, dormant and at position #333. That's a "sensible" use of your vote. Your solo's have ALREADY quit.

omg ... is this even real? Surely somebody's just trying to get a laugh here? Well, it worked.

On the outside chance that it is serious, I'm confused as to why this would be a reason to not vote witness teams. Nothing has gone wrong with the witness. Still holding strong. No trouble on the horizon. One of the partners just had other things she wanted to do that conflicted. How is that problematic? I don't see it. Oh, well.

@rhondak : The short answer, from the link posted above, for not wanting team witnesses is ...

...that this trend is taking the voting system of the blockchain and making it less representational and more 'run by committee'

and

... if they ever make it to the sacred 20 my preference is one witness with one vote that answers directly to those who have voted for them.

Hope that clarifies it for you.

Nope. Doesn't clarify why you'd give an inactive witness/user your proxy. And that lack of judgment pretty much negates any other argument you try to make. Kinda tells me I'm just listening to the wind blow.

Guess you may have missed that Stuw's departure was not know to me, @rhondak. A message notice that one's witness has gone inactive and release of their votes might be good mod for the next fork. 👍

Stew seemed a natural voice of discontent. 😎

And Stew has apparently left the platform. At least he is no longer a witness. But if voting for dead witnesses is your thing, then ok.

This is the first time hearing of dear Stew's departure. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, might want to do a little investigation into who you cast (or don't cast) those votes for. Just some friendly advice.

Just some friendly advice.

Thanks for the clarification.
