As promised last week, I am now starting to rotate my votes. Consequently, I will remove my vote from workers even though I technically support them to give room for other workers.

The list of workers I (generally support):
- 201902-bitshares-core
- 201902-reference-faucet
- 201902-infrastructure
- 201902-bitshares-ui
- 201810-bitshares-org
- 201901-legal-representative
- 201902-marketing-interviews-articles-and-visibility
- 2018-09-rossul-ui
- 201903-atomic-cross-chain-swaps
- 201812 Bitshares Mobile App   [this one should be fully funded already - @team, please update us]
- 201903-bitshares.org-exotic-infrastructure
- DEXBot WP2 - Liquidity for the DEX

Poll workers I keep supporting:
- Poll - BSIP42 - NO adjustment to price feed
- Poll-BSIP41-Reduce MSSR of bitCNY from 1.1 to 1.05
- Poll - BSIP59 - Reduce MSSR of bitCNY to 1.02 (to replace the vorker above)
- Poll - BSIP59 - Reduce MCR of bitCNY to 1.6
- Poll-BSIP58-Global Settlement Protection on bitCNY
- Poll-BSIP58-Global Settlement Protection on bitUSD
- Poll - BSIP59 - Reduce MSSR of bitUSD to 1.05
- Poll - BSIP59 - Reduce MSSR of bitUSD to 1.02

The ones I vote for in this period:
- 201902-bitshares-core
- 201902-infrastructure
- 201810-bitshares-org
- 201902-marketing-interviews-articles-and-visibility
- 201903-atomic-cross-chain-swaps
- 201903-bitshares.org-exotic-infrastructure
- DEXBot WP2 - Liquidity for the DEX
- 2018-09-rossul-ui

(e.g. every odd worker in the list above)
edit: added more workers that are in need for funding more desperately

Thanks for getting back at me .. I'll add my vote to your witness again. Please don't double sign!

New workers I am voting for:
* Poll - BSIP59 - Reduce MCR of bitCNY to 1.6
* 201903-bitshares.org-exotic-infrastructure
* 201903-atomic-cross-chain-swaps

New witnesses I vote for:
* delegate-zhaomu

Important Remark
Since our workers are now consuming the entire daily budget, and some workers do not receive any funding while others receive theirs plus extra backoff,
I will start rotating my votes for active witnesses start in April. This means, I will remove my votes from workers that are currently active but funded
sufficiently to continue their work, then, after some time (e.g. 4 weeks), I rotate my votes again.
By this I hope to distribute funds across more worker proposals instead of having too much excess funds in individual ones.

Since I cannot change workers to become active/inactive alone, I will post here frequently for other proxies to potentially follow the idea voluntarily.

Removed my vote from witness "delegate-zhaomu". He is double producing blocks:

Sorry for the "double producing"  issue. It was my mistake and I fixed immediately after abit reminded me. At that day, I developed a new backup node to substitute the old one and I didn't close the old server immediately (I thought it was better to keep the old one running for a while until the new one was proved to work fine).I didn't notice that my witness-monitor script had already automatically changed to backup node's signing key and I forgot to check the status when deploying. This was the cause of "double producing". I realize that it was a big mistake and it shall never happen again. I hope you will re-vote me.  Thank you.

Hi Xeroc,

You have removed your support for my witness sahkan-bitshares on 20 DEC 2018 (the day the blockchain crashed). I just wanted to request that you consider re-voting my witness. Thank you for you past support!

revoted. You've done a good job so far .. as it later turned out, the crash on december was not due to witnesses not upgrading their software in time - which was what i believed when i remove my vote from your witness (among others)

Thank you! Also just republished the price feeds as they were above the threshold for the auto update; they are back to auto feeds again.

since your are the biggest proxy who support crazybit
what's your thought about the feed price cheating?

I guess we all known how important the feed price is for us, and it's one of the mainy jobs for the witness.
but crazybit give us a 'fake' feed price.
here is his logic as I observe today:
every 5 minutes, he will check if his price equal the finally feed price(median price of all feed price),
if it's not, he change his price to the median price.

This is a very stupid strategy, it's cheat.
what's the thought of those who support him as a witness?

That is indeed a stupid strategy. I'll do some research. If this turns out to be his implementation. I'll remove my support, ofc.

Wish you happy holidays

Thanks.

Due to the need for legal mandate, I took a break from my break and approved the worker proposal to grant a mandate to the BBF for legal representation:

I just removed my vote from witnesses xn-delegate, roelandp, and xman as they are feeding CNY prices that are more than 8% off.
gdex-witness promised to fix their feed script shortly.
I have also removed openledger-dc since they feed a USD price that is almost 20% off.

Also, I would like to let the community know that I will be most away from keyboard until January 6th.

See you all at 7th :D

FYI, I have removed my votes from committee members that have (after 3 weeks) not replied to the proposed fee schedule changes. Pretty disappointing.
