I have updated my witness vote too Just hope for good news, then :)

Hopefully things will settle down and look better tomorrow, not likely but there is always hope. A war was started:

That was part of a reply I made on a post. (https://steempeak.com/@bashadow/re-softfork222-q66rkx)

From @smooth in partial reply:

> IMO, if someone doesn't like the way the witnesses chosen by stakeholders do their job, then the best recourse is to vote in new ones, and if you don't like DPoS where stakeholders choose witnesses, choose another blockchain.


It seems that Justin Sun did just that, Increased his stake, and put in witnesses he wanted. Of course through this whole mess people kept saying it could not be done, he found a way to do it. Was it a legal way or not, does not matter, he did what a lot kept saying could not be done, he put his witnesses in place. There were a lot of statements to the effect the *"ball is now in Justin Suns hands"* looks like he not only took his ball home, he took the bat, and home plate with him.

I’ve updated a couple of mine. I changed a couple the other day. I’m keeping a couple lower votes.

Time for some beers. 

Thanks for this, Asher. I have just woken up and have a little more hope that sanity will prevail than I did when I went to bed.

what do you mean "the 30 active witnesses on the list below"? There are way more than 30. Do you mean you have selected everyone on the list from blocktrades down until you hit a total of 30?

My voting criteria is any witness that **did not** install 2.22 due to their display of naiveté. The following witness which did not run 2.22 already had my support:

@timcliff
@pharesim
@blockbrothers
@quochuy
@firepower
@enginewitty
@yehey
@pcste
@bobinson

After dropping support from all those who installed 2.22 the following witnesses have received one of the freed votes:

@holger80
@dragosroua
@r0nd0n
@thekitchenfairy
@jesta
@kevinwong
@satren

I am working on updating my witness votes now.  Hold on to your hats, indeed.

Color me confused. Which version is 4444?

While I disagreed with the decision to soft fork, I am still going to support the witnesses for this as much as I can. 

I trust your judgement.  For the time being, I have set you as my proxy and I'll go back to voting for my own choices once everything washes out
