Today I woke up to one of the best surprises in my life.
I had been running for witness for a while, and yesterday I've made it to the outskirts of top 19, a 21st slot to be more precise. One of the major dilemmas for new witnesses is, that for them to become a witness, an existing witness must necessarily lose their spot.
To my surprise, @liondani had unvoted himself, and voted me in, essentially giving me his witness slot.
@liondani, I cannot even begin to describe the joy and gratefulness you've brought me.
Thank you.
I hope that our paths cross in the future, and I get the privilege of meeting you.
Congrats and welcome to the top19 pantheon, it was about time to see you there ;)
Thanks for your mention and your kind words but first credits deserve @good-karma ...
sorry I cannot support you guys further - all you three have my witness votes already... :)
Plz flowe me.

I've seen many examples of @liondani's generosity previously, but this tops it. He is an incredibly generous man. Well done @liondani. Proud to call you a brother in Christ. :)

Success they say is a destination and once you get there, you wait for others, @liondani you were not just satisfied waiting but went on to give a helping hand to @furion and that is the spirit of community building, my vote is on you both. New to the community and trying to catch up as quick as possible and am loving it.

Hi @smooth - if it is an easy tweak to make, you might as well exclude 'no payout' posts to save your voting power.
The creator declined payout, and you flag it anyway? Uncool.
Its an automated bot, and fairly new at that. I'm sure he will add support for decline payout, as well as proxies to null in HF17.
happy to see this positive news :) cheers
