Title: Vote me out Please!
Post by: Ggozzo on December 12, 2014, 04:29:33 pm
Sorry people. As one of the least reliable delegates at 96% I ask that you vote me out.

My intention was originally to be a marketing delegate https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6267.0

However, it quickly became clear that at the then current rate if pay this would not be feasible unless we surpassed BTC's billion dollar market cap.

Now that a delegate can get roughly $2k/mo if they liquidate all BTS pulled in from producing blocks, it is somewhat possible. Although spending 60K BTS just to be considered as a delegate seems like a $1000 risk that should be going towards the marketing in the first place.

Also, it seems that an issue always happens at 2am here in the West coast and I miss blocks for hours while I am sleeping.

As for today, I am off to work and probably won't have time to revert back to an older version until lunch time. So I will continue to miss blocks and I ask that I be voted out.

Thanks for voting me in the past few months, and sorry I haven't been super reliable!

Missing blocks is not your fault for today.

Are delegates allowed to transfer ownership?
Maybe someone could take it off your hands.

IMO, it should be either shut down or transferred to someone not yet operating an active delegate (to promote decentralization).

No way to transfer as I am in possession of the privatekey. Besides, I don't want to give up my handle.  Anyway I am out of the top 101 as of now. 

Thanks! Good luck.

You provide services to the community exceeding the 3% pay rate you ask for!
Voting for you with my next vote.
That being said my vote will not be enough, so bring your delegate to the attention to Xeroc (for his slate) and BM for his voting.
