If you are voting for a HIVE Witness that is stale for more than 1 year... what should you do?


Checking now and then for witch witnesses your are voting for should be a task of everyone on HIVE. Does not need to be every day, but at least once a month I would say. This ensures the chain gets the maximum protection possible and a healthy way of evolving.

Because a word can't go faster than light, I am calling people to check their brains and learn a bit more... with this poll. With a bit twist of fun, hopefully making it obvious in case it goes sideways.


  • Stalk the witness until it responds to why is stale for this long

  • Downvote all posts of that witness as quick as possible and tell it eat a tomato

  • Find all its friends on HIVE and ask for more information about the current state

  • Unvote the witness (at least until there is an update from the account in case there is nothing obvious)

  • Give a candy to grandma and pray for gods to transform the witness into a beautiful cake

  • Drink !PIZZA and eat !BEER

  • Run a node myself and ask for votes until I overtake that stale witness

  • Power up as much HIVE as possible and vote for all active witnesses bellow that one so it goes above the stale witness

  • Find a corner at the nearest building and write down in the wall: "I vote for witnesses on the HIVE blockchain" (then you feel suddenly wish to fly away and gain powers instantaneously)

Hi @forkyishere, valuable post! Voting for solid witnesses is extremely important. Perhaps it's worthwhile what is meant by a stale witness, how one check if a witness is stale, and how to check your own witness votes easily.

For others reading this, you can easily look at your votes through the PeakD frontend. Simply click the witnesses button on the dropdown in the upper right corner. There you can see all witnesses, your votes, and how "active" the witnesses are.

I just checked and updated my votes. Turned out it was way overdue!

Thanks, @forkyishere, for sharing this important note!

A couple of options... and a good point, thanks (forgot about that):

@akdx, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.

More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
