As responsible members of Hive, we all play a part in governance. Choosing witnesses and accepting proposals. When is your Hive Governance Day?
A few months ago, I was energized by a call for Hive members to take responsibility and check their votes. Sadly, I can't remember who to thank for that. But I did set myself a quarterly reminder to check my witness and proposal votes.
Hive Witness Governance
I know of 2 types of Hive Witness for us to vote on. Both with many choices of frontend pages from which to vote. If there are other types of Hive Witness, please let me know.
Hive Block Producers
We each have 30 votes for Hive Witnesses, known as Block Producers. And I prefer to vote for mine at the PeakD Witnesses page.
I prefer this voting page because it has a lot of information about each witness. I know that everyone will have their own opinions about how to select their witnesses. My opinions are…
- Liotes should be #1
- Everyone should stop voting for inactive witnesses
I realize that many of the votes for dead witnesses are from dead accounts. But many are not. Please check yours now.
Hive Engine Witnesses
For Hive Engine Witnesses, I use the Tribaldex Witnesses page.
As you can see, I forgot to vote last month. But now that I have my quarterly reminder set, this shouldn't happen again. Because Hive Exchange Witness votes last for 180 days.
However, it doesn't really matter. Because Hive Exchange Witness votes are powered by your holding of staked WORKERBEE tokens. And I delegate mine to @ph1102 to support Liotes. You can (and should) do the same. By staking WORKERBEE tokens to yourself. Then delegating the staked tokens to @ph1102.
Hive Proposals
There's not much to choose between Ecency Hive Proposals and PeakD Hive Proposals. Though, I prefer PeakD's treatment of Expired Proposals. So select the one that suits you best. Or tell me if you think there's a better Hive Proposals Voting Page.
Your Hive Governance Day
I hope that you will set a reminder to vote regularly on Hive. And please tell me if you think that I've missed anything.
