RE: The Witness Voting Engagement Report - 2017-08-24
I think I've already voted for you, I'll check to make sure. I've still got 20+ witness votes left and would like to delegate them, but I understand that to do so would allow the delegee to change your votes- something I'm uncomfortable with.
Yeah, when you set a proxy then your existing votes go away, unfortunately. Would be nice if you could proxy just unused votes, but that's now how the system works right now.
Well, that sucks... It's my ultimate upvote- my show of support for people that I consider especially valuable to the platform... Thank you for your generous tip by the way!
You're welcome. I hope you find peace and security.
Thank you... Peace I have, security...
That's the first I've heard of delegating witness votes. I can understand how you could, but I've never heard of anyone doing that.
It's called a proxy voter. The concept exists within BitShares as well. In practice, it just means your VESTS add weight to the vote of the proxy voter as if you voted for witnesses exactly as they did.
