Use your right to vote !
It's the end of the year , time to check your witness votes again, after last hardfork November 19th 2025 some witnesses decided to stop, and others decided to join.
While i'm curating posts I also often check if people are still voting for active witnesses.
Often people have voted once in the past + 5 years ago and never looked back at it .
The screen shot below from https://primersion.com/witnesses shows a good exampele of an account that is stil active but has never looked at his / her witness votes again, and is still voting for 12 inactive witness servers.
Would it help if people receive a pop-up from the front end website whene ver they are still voting for an inactive witness ?
Others never looked at the witness voting page simply because they started playing a game on Hive and probably aren't even aware that there are witness servers running .
Some people only use some votes , and then simply stopped caring about it .
If you want to have a quick look on what you are voting for you can either use : https://primersion.com/witnesses ( it does show you all inactive witnesses you voted for at the topof the page) , https://cutehive.com/ [make sure you set it in settings to show the top 200 ] or https://peakd.com/me/witnesses ( look for the red and green dots to see what is active or not , where red is inactive and green is active . )
Those are the only ones that actually show you if the witness is still creating blocks or not , so that you can see if you vote for an inactive witness or not.
I made a post about checking your votes and changing them +/- 20 days ago you can find that post here : @stresskiller/three-weeks-after-hf-28
It also shows you how you can set a proxy for your account.
A proxy will do the voting for you instead that way you don't have to bother about it . You can always undo the proxy and take control over your votes again when you have the time or need for it .
If you have any votes left ,
it would be nice if you vote for my witness " stresskiller "
