Sicarius's witness announcement for the Hive blockchain

Any HIVE powered up today has no influence on governance voting (witnesses or DHF proposals) until a window of 30 days would have passed since the powerup. Did you know that? If you are an old timer on

Before I go into the main topic of this post, I'd like to express my... disappointment. From all the supposedly active players on Splinterlands, only 621 and 479, respectively, bothered to vote on two

Hey Everyone Time flies, It's been an interesting two months since I launched my Hive witness node. The server is running fine. I'm going to share some of the milestones I have achieved, and I'm reaching

In short, what I propose is that only accounts that directly or via proxy participate in the governance of Hive receive a share of the 15% of the inflation distributed currently to ALL HIVE Power holders.

Witness QueueAs seen here. One of the points I made several times since 2019 when I first registered as witness it the fact that we have too many "dead witnesses" being called upon block production

It is the second time this week I see stuff like this happening. Having 2 blocks signed in(almost) sequence divived only by our Top20 leaders as the block numbers are divided only by an interval of 20.

Sicarius's witness announcement for the Hive blockchain

Ich habe heute mein Witness-Vote für @we-the-people abgegeben. Ich denke gerade in der aktuellen Zeit sollte man kleine Witnesse unterstützen. Hier der Link zu deren Monatsreport: Erst einmal finde ich

Sorry for being repetitive about something I've already talked about.

<div class="text-justify"><h3>Vote Dilution</h3><ul><li><i>The idea is to divide the value of a witness vote by the amount of voted witnesses.</i></li><ul><li>If you have <code>20 HP</code> and vote for one witness, it's a <code>20 HP</code> for it.</li><li>If you vote for 5 witnesses, it's a <code>4 HP</code> vote for each.</li><li>If you vote for 20 witnesses, each gets a <code>1 HP</code> vote.</li></ul><li>With such mechanism in place, a new takeover attempt would be <i><q>as hard as accumulating 20 times more HP than the whole Hive community</q></i>.</li><ul><li><i>The more witnesses you vote, less value your vote has to each of them.</i></li><li><i>A giant whale like Sun Yuchen_{(Justin Sun's real name)} would be able to put one or two witnesses in the Security Council_{(top 20 Witnesses)}, but with each witness the difficulty to insert the next increases exponentially.</i></li></ul><li>There would be no need to keep the 30 votes limit for witnesses.</li></ul><p>It is my personal opinion that having more equal votes available per profile₍₃₀₎ than the ammount of <q><i>seats</i></q> in the Security Council_{(top 20 Witnesses)} is a recipe for disaster. A vulnerability that allows for an eventual <i>Hostile Takeover</i>^TM.</p><p>If it is too consuming to program and test it, a palliative temporary solution would be to just limit to one witness vote per profile and uncasting the 29 others. It can be uncasting by any criteria, like random, lowest HP witnesses, etc.</p><p>If you don't fully agree or disagree with this idea, please provide your opinion below regarding this specific idea of vote dilution.</p></div>
