Title: How do I vote?
Post by: contour on October 01, 2016, 01:34:36 pm

I know it is here somewhere. I have been looking for a while and couldn't find where to  vote for projects. Is it cryptofresh? And does anyone need help with a project? I would like to play more of a part in the community.

Hi Contour! Welcome to the community. Voting is important! Bitshares on-chain voting is one of the main features that sets it apart from any other cryptocurrency. Democracy amongst a sea of oligarchy and plutocracy.
There were the kingdoms of old, fighting eachother for land and resources, but democracy eventually wins out. :)

You can vote through a proxy like I do or vote on every issue as an individual.

You can vote for:
witnesses who produce blocks
committee members who control the fees and blockchain characteristics
workers who contribute new features, media, products or anything we want done
