No i haven't used all 30 witness votes.
I have given to individual hivers or projects i am aware.
Frankly, i don't have any selection criteria.
Votes, were also given when i came across a request in their post and felt good about it :-).

Congratulations you have been manual curated and upvoted by @ecency

Yes i have used all 30 votes : 0 of 30 votes remaining .

Who i pick depends on who is active on my part of hive , and who do i think can make that part a better hive .
I do tend to change my votes every 6 months just to see if people are still active and keeping their promises .

I also use my main account as a proxy for all my smaller accounts that way i only need to go through that list once , and if you really don't like to go through that witness list but still want you vote to count you can always pick someone that you think has good intentions with hive as your proxy , so that your witness votes no matter how small your Hive power is don't get lost.

As I remember in June or July I've updated my witness votes and used all of them. But honestly as so as it passed several months I think it worth to check and maybe renew / change some votes.

I have used all my witness votes. Because I think that it's important to be as involved as possible in Hive Governance. But I think I need to spend more time researching the witnesses that I have voted for.

Currently, my method is:

  1. Vote for Liotes.
  2. Avoid the top 20. Because I read many posts that speak to a kind of corruption among a cabal of around 10 of them. Without ever naming those that they distrust.
  3. Vote for witnesses with APR set to at least 20%.

So the research I need to do is:

  1. Try to understand who, what, and why about the aforementioned 'cabal'. Maybe that's as simple as avoiding anyone who supports Hive promotion through the inexplicable funding of a car.
  2. Also try to understand how the HBD APR affects the Hive economy.
  3. Most importantly, investigate witnesses beyond the data listed in the Witnesses voting pages. In order to see the real contributions that they make to the Hive ecosystem.

Yes, I used all my 30 witness votes. I vote for projects I like, checking in from time to time to move the votes to where I feel most comfortable at any given moment.

Nope, only around 70-80% vote. I frequently vote and unvote, depend on the situation. But I won't vote again witnesses who have responded negatively towards people who unvoted them

I use Good-Karma as my proxy for witness voting. He has a better grasp of who is working for Hive than I do and I trust him 100%

I've used like 25 of the 30 witness votes.

I usually check if the witness is active by the current version and price feed. Also, when was their last block.

I actually have no idea, at least not for Hive. I'll go and check now ... Two votes left, and one vote for inactive witnesses. That means three opportunities to vote. Done !INDEED

As for the Hive-Engine - I used 11 votes there. Less options !LOLZ

On checking, I have 6 votes left. I used all 30 before, but had to unvote those with inactive nodes. I voted for those I like, or the apps I use (may have to review my votes again)

I used most of it, but not the whole 30. I leave it open to give some vote to newer people.
I vote in witnesses that I want to help mostly, sometimes people that are honest and trying to make hive more decentralized. Especially those who doesn't receive too much attention. Also those who are helping the blockchain somehow in other projects. This is a way to demonstrate appreciation. But I avoid in witnesses that add the APR interest too low.

I don’t even know how many votes I’ve used, but definitely not 40. 😅 I mostly vote for people and projects I know and want to support. Nepotism again, huh?))

Used all 30 but I'll probably need to go through all of them again to do some pruning and updating!

Haha, unfortunately, I didn't use them all. I still have 11 votes left. I didn't stop to use the rest of the votes. It's always good to analyze and see those who best align with our thinking and way of seeing the hive.
