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 :-).

Thanks for sharing how you vote. I think that we all have our own way of evaluating the witnesses we want to vote for...
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.
Not many people are using proxies. it can be a good idea to avoid having witnesses votes idle...
indeed but it's not just for witnees votes i think it also works for proposals
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 would say it's good to review the witness votes once every 6 months at least.
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:
So the research I need to do is:

For the sustainability of hive, in my opinion, the HBD interest rate needs to be below the debt ratio

That's interesting and I tend to agree with you...
If I choose them by affinity.
That's a good way of chosing them I believe
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.
That's a good way of dealing with your votes I believe.
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
Being a witness is not always easy because you don't know what is the reason behind somebody unvoting you. But on the other hand, there needs to be a certain professionalisme in such a democratic process...
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%
That's a good way of doing it and not having to worry about it :-)
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.
These are important factors. It's not always easy to keep up to date with the version however. There are often some tools that are lacking...
The last time I check, I think I have used all o fthe vot slots. :)
!PIZZA !LUV
That's good :-)
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

@ervin-lemark denkt du hast ein Vote durch @investinthefutur verdient!
@ervin-lemark thinks you have earned a vote of @investinthefutur !
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)
It's not a bad idea to review the votes from time to time...
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.
That's an interesting factor to look at...
For example, I know that you are a guy that explored other blockchains like me... what usually is our go to in those blockchains that we need to choose the validators for staking ? at least APR is always something to consider!
It was 30/30 but I have just removed a few inactive ones on my list. :)
It's good to keep things up to date.
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?))
!ALIVE
Well you have only 30 votes so I don't think you voted 40 🤣
Lol. Yeah, the struggles of on-the-fly translation. 😅
Used all 30 but I'll probably need to go through all of them again to do some pruning and updating!
It's not a bad idea to look at it at regular intervals and clean up...
I have 16 free votes, my votes are for the witnesses who are really immersed in HIVE and have reliable projects.
!ALIVE
!UNI
That's a good way to look at it!
Now that you mention, actually I have not utilize all votes. Time for me to look into the witness voting
It's always good to have a look at it :-)
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.
That's true!
I used most (around 25), and I leave a few for projects/people that I like if they make one. I picked most based on projects that I used, then I did them based on the APR. I have some HBD in the savings, and I would prefer to have a higher HBD APR.
It's definitely one of the factors that should be considered while voting for witnesses.
Yes
hehe, yes or no questions are easy to answer lol
hehe yes they are, I use all my votes so a yes was all I could say lol
It's always good to take a look at the witnesses. The last time I remember was precisely because of Liotes that I ended up voting for the 30 witnesses. Thank you for reminding the community!
It's actually something we believe is important and that's why we tend to speak about it from time to time. Also to encourage people not to forget Liotes :-)
I do not use them all. I vote on projects that I am involved or ones that I have seen add value to the Hive Blockchain. I do take recommendations from those I trust for others to vote on as well.
It is similar to voting on proposals to receive Hive funds which may be a good one to ask the Liotes participants if they vote on proposals and how they determine who gets their vote to receive funds.
Good point. I might use that for one of our missions!
I use all of them and occasionally switch between them if I don't see any activity.
I also advertise some of them in each of my posts, including Liotes.witness.
I've seen that and I'm very grateful for your support!
Yes, I have used all 30 votes. Apart from specific witnesses whose projects I support - @liotes @thebbhproject and @detlev.witness - I vote for the top witnesses who support the old 20% interest rate for HBD. (Actually, the three witnesses mentioned here also support 20%.)
However, I might review my policy in the light of a conversation with @starkerz at the KL HiveFest about potential Hive-based crypto loans for businesses, if that idea comes to fruition.

That's interesting!
I think I have only voted 8. It is what it is.. I vote for people who I engage with, or if they engage me, and since I don't really engage with many people, it's just 8 at the moment. (I prefer not to vote for people that I don't really know)
That's a good point...
I'm using all of my witness votes... I chose witnesses who benefit the HIVE ecosystem and me, especially the one I know.
