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

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)
