Why voting witnesses is important and how to vote witnesses
Happy friday to all steemians
When you are stepping in steemit, I believe and understand that you will have a lot of things still clueless and exploring. Ya, in this platform, it is really a lot of knowledge for you to learn. So for me this is the place that gain a lot new knowledge in blockchain technology.
This post I will let you know one of the most important things that we as steemians must do, which is:
Vote your witnesses
For a lot of steemians, I believe you will ask why it is so important? what is steem witnesses actually?
What are Steem Witness?
Steem witnesses are computers or nodes run by some Steemians. These are running 24/7. They provide the computational power required to process all Steem actions recorded on the Steem blockchain. This is communally called: "signing blocks". Those computers run the Steem open source software. There are 20 witnesses and 1 backup witness. Each 20 witnesses sign around 1400 blocks a day and the remaining backup witness blocks are signed by all remaining witnesses in a rotation. Signing block is done automatically as long as the computers and software are running properly. Top 20 witnesses are assigned block to sign at random.

For easy understanding for me and you that not much understand about technical things in blockchain is steem witnesses are the people behind the scenes that making sure the steem blockchain can be running smoothly so that we as end user can have a great experience in steemit.
Another things is top20 witnesses are the key person in whole steem blockchain as they have the decision power to make any changes. So for steemians that running witness they are very determined to get into top20 so that they can have more authority to make a better future for steemit community.
So now another question kick in,
How to vote witnesses
First kindly heads to https://steemit.com/~witnesses
or you can find the tab as shown in below photo
Then you will be heading to main page of witnesses vote
First you can see the vote that you have for the witnesses. Yes, each steemians can have maximum 30 votes for the witness that you trust. You can view their thread to choose which witnesses that you gonna vote for. Then the left side is the vote button for you to cast your vote.
Next you need to key in your Steemit Id and also active key to perform first vote. But after that you will not need to key in again for the next vote if you stay on the page to continue upvote.
Now you will ask, which witnesses that you need to upvote. Currently as #teammalaysia members, we are fully supporting our witness which is @bitrocker2020. He is the founder of #teammalaysia and is the backbone of pulling in whole community. I believe without him, #teammalaysia will not formed and we are not able to be this united and go far together.
Yes, currrently @bitrocker2020 is in the 88th placing and we as steemians and represent #teammalaysia are hoping all members can vote him as witnesses and push him to higher ranking so that he can do more for the whole steemit and also community. So if you are steemians and looking for witnesses to support, you can support @bitrocker2020.
Or if you do not know who to vote, you can let @bitrocker2020 as a proxy. Once you set him as proxy, whatever witnesses that he vote, automatically he will vote for you too.
Thats it for the witnesses part and some simple tutorial for you to do it and vote for the good of steem blockchain and community. So if you have not vote, kindly move your mouse to witnesses tab and vote all the 30 witnesses.
Cheers and steem on
