BitShares: How-To Set or Change your Proxy (02/2018)

A lot has changed since the last how-to proxy, so here's an updated version.

What's a Proxy?

1 BitShares = 1 Vote in the governance system of BitShares. Means every BTS holder can vote for Blockchain Stability (Good Witnesses) or for Development work (such as the UI Worker). However, it takes time and knowledge to follow the ever changing network, for most HODLers it's too much.
They can delegate their Votes to one single account, the Proxy. Proxies are usually holders and users of the system with deep roots and knowledge.

How to Proxy or change Proxy vote

1. Click Settings
2. Click Voting in dropdown menu
3. The type-field to the left has your current proxy, or blank if for no proxy
4. Enter the Proxy of your choice (#DYOR)
5. Click SAVE
6. Confirm the change transaction

That's it! It's fairly easy in the current Reference Wallet to vote!
