Title: Help setting up delegate voting using CLI.
Post by: fundomatic on December 22, 2014, 05:26:24 pm

Hi,
I run bitshares client_version v0.4.27.1 on linux(debian/jessie).

I tried wiki.bitshares.org and github.com/BitShares/bitshares/wiki/DPOS-Voting-For-Delegates and searched this blog too,

my best guess is I need to 'construct wallet slates' with delegates I want to vote for.

So, how do I do that.

You get my vote for helping out.
Thanks.

You can use "wallet_account_set_approval" command to approve accounts, and then transfer your funds back to yourself using "wallet_transfer" so that they vote for your new slate. Someone else can give more detailed explanation.

Thanks,
so this is what I've done.

> wallet_account_set_approval 'delegate_account_of_your_choice'

When you transfer funds (even if it is from your account back to your account), you vote for all 'delegate accounts' selected with 'wallet_account_set_approval'.
Your vote is proportional to the amount of funds you transfer.

> wallet_transfer 'required arguments'

Now check your voting with

> wallet_account_vote_summary

I wonder how many times i can vote transferring all my funds back and forth? Until they are eaten by transaction fees?
