The Witness Voting Engagement Report - 2017-08-24

How Engaged Are Steemit Users in Voting for Witnesses?

That's what this weekly report is all about.

This week's engagement rate for accounts with 100,000 VESTS or more is:

20.86%

That's up 2.8% from last week, with a 5% increase in new users.


If you're not sure what a witness vote is, or why it's important, please see my older post Steemit is Free, But Your Witness Vote Determines its Future.

This report uses @arcange's STEEMSQL.

MV stands for Million VESTS.

VESTS are like vested shares in Steemit and relate to Steem by a ratio (484.765 Steem per MV as of this report).

VESTS impact the weight of your vote on posts and the influence of your vote for Steemit Witnesses.

Here's how I'm filtering the data:

  1. All Accounts: No filter applied, includes all accounts.
  2. > 100,000: Accounts with 100,000 or more VESTS.
  3. > 0 Posts: Accounts which have posted at least once.
  4. > 100k & > 0 Posts: Accounts with 100,000 or more VESTS who have also posted at least once.
  5. Active: Accounts which have voted, commented, and posted a root post in the last 30 days.

The percentage values in parentheses show the change since last week's report.

Good news! The inactive dele-puppy witness is no longer in the top 100 witnesses.

Here are the top 50 accounts by VESTS (excluding 24 accounts which I've been told are Steemit employee or contractor accounts) which are not currently voting for a Steemit Witness:

These top 50 have 15,762 MV (-0.18%) which could be applied to witness votes.

If you know people on this list, maybe encourage them to set a proxy voter or ask them why they aren't voting right now. Those like myself who are working to move up the witness ranks would sure appreciate their support.

Have You Voted for a Witness?

If you haven't voted yet, please consider setting @lukestokes as your proxy voter. Otherwise, go vote for some Steemit Witnesses you've interacted with and respect to do what's in the best interest of the network. I hope that includes my witness, @lukestokes.mhth.


Again, if you're not sure what a witness vote is, or why it's important, please see my older post Steemit is Free, But Your Witness Vote Determines its Future.

Thank you! I hope you found this useful.
