Welp, that got me looking at my witness votes. After going through my witness votes and removing a couple inactives, I decided it would be prudent to vote for witnesses who are contributing, and you're one of 'em!
Always useful to see the list of inactive or dead witness servers and it's actually quite a shame to see so many still occupying top 100 spot, even top 300 really. Seems there's more inactive than active ones in the top 500?
Yea as time passes, more witnesses come in and come out. Once in, they will never disappear from the list. We have less than 150 witnesses I think, which is why the more you get down the list the more inactive ones are listed.
Yea it's a shame they can't just be removed from that list once they are inactive or not producing blocks after, say, 3 months as then it would be a better representation and "cleaner"...
All the more reason to make sure witness votes are up to date but a lot of inactive accounts still have a vote registered to an inactive witness so that is also a tricky one.
I guess it’s related to the fact that witness votes don’t expire either, so inactive witnesses are still receiving votes and hence should stay in the list.
There have been suggestions to expire witness votes or at least to witnesses that have been inactive for a long period of time (years).
Hmm, yes maybe a revamp on how the witness system operates would be a good thing in terms of voting mechanics.
Say your witness vote is active for 6 months then you need to renew the vote or it stops? Perhaps a notification can be created where the bell is at the top. I dunno, it could be a way to keep interest and engagement about what witnesses do
Yes something needs to be put in place to increase the awareness and use of witness votes. I like the RC idea and notifications, even if it's just a wallet memo or reminder comment on a post (without it getting spammy).
The flood of recent votes might be related to Justin Sun buying Steemit Inc. along with the purchase he also received all the SP from Steemit Inc and can, if he decides to, vote for his own top 21 witnesses. So it is now critical that we get as many steemians to cast their witness votes as possible to mitigate the risk.
I never knew that @steemyoda had done witnessing, interesting.
I saw that xeldal unregistered and I unvoted him/her.
I voted for you @quochuy :D
Best regards now. ;)
Many have tried and many gave up because if you are not in the top 30 or so you might be running a witness node at a loss.
Thanks for the vote, appreciated.

Thanks for the timely reminder to update my witness votes. Removed 2 that have been idle for a while and added a couple of others.
That’s great! The more updated votes the more secure will our chain be.
Thank you

Can be dangerous. Instead of it stops, the notification is safer. Or even reduce your RC to limit activities until you vote for witnesses.

Amen brother, know what you mean about not existing if not on that top100 list 🤦♂️ Was good to see a flood of votes recently 😉
Many are already on it now it’s just how to get the big players to remove dead votes and help filter the list 😅

There are indeed quite a few inactive witnesses in the top 100 !
Yea. Unfortunately some of them have votes from now inactive accounts too...

use a drum and shout at the top of the voice ... getting votes is a peculiar task :)
Thanks for the update, I had 3 witnesses disabled for a while so I unvoted them.
We need like these updates regularly and therefore you got my vote there, if it makes good difference with my small SP :)

Thank you!
Small votes are just as important it’s adding up and make the network more secure.
