RE: First Witness Survey Questions

in #witness6 years ago

As I understand it votes for witnesses last forever until the steemian manually removes or adjusts them. Do you think votes for witnesses should last indefinitely or should they time out (or perhaps decay over time) so that periodically voters will need to reevaluate and affirm their positions by recasting their votes?

Sort:  

I LOVE the idea of a decay on the vote. LOVE it. Great question.

Whilst not exactly focusing on vote decay, this piece of work i did recently may indicate just how little 'inactivity' affects witness standings.

I am also for vote decay / recasting votes over time, but I think this is something that will show more of an effect in years and not months.

Cheers.
