INTRODUCING - An Easier, Improved Way to Vote for Steem Witnesses

<center><h1>An All new Witness Voting Experience</h1></center>

**Problem:** witnesses campaigning outside the top 50 (including myself) are unfairly represented on Steemit's voting website, requiring users to write-in votes. There is also a lack of information present when voting for these witnesses... Hell, you don't even know if the top 50 witnesses have their node up to date or if it's operational. 

**Solution:** a voting GUI that includes the top 199 witnesses and a better general overview of everyone's witness performance.

Take a look (note: functionality finished, UI not quite).

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HsGml-vz9LU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<h2>Some Information</h2>

**Release Date:** within the next week.

**Security:** uses active private key. Only used to make the api call to change your votes. Never stored or used for anything else. Once I am finished with the UI and make a few tweaks, I will make the code open source and available to all.

**Are those the actual witnesses I am voting for?** No... I kept switching witnesses when I was testing. I'll change them back around when I am finished with this project.

**Note:** received some inspiration from @netuoso and his Witness Stats project. There are quite a few top 100 witnesses who are inactive and/or disabled. With his information site and my soon to be released voting GUI, I forsee a more knowledgable Steemian voting community.

Cheers!

Voting for witnesses is still something I view as an overwhelming experience and something like that might be helpful.

I have currently delegated my vote to somebody that has shown good judgment and a correct assessment of what to expect from HF19 before it was implemented.
