Title: Negative votes for approved delegates
Post by: svk on August 02, 2014, 06:15:10 am
I've been playing around with my block explorer and noticed a lot of negative votes going out, and I've been wondering about the logic behind them, so I decided to test it with some transactions. I started with two 1000BTSX transaction, giving these results:

http://bitsharesblocks.com/#/block/116824
http://bitsharesblocks.com/#/block/116834

All those delegates are approved on this account, but for some reason my own main account is getting negative votes from the transaction fees and no votes from the transaction.

I then set delegate.svk31 to false and tried again, giving this:

http://bitsharesblocks.com/#/block/116842

I now get negative votes from the transaction as well.

What I'd like to know is, why in the first transactions was delegate.svk31 getting only negative votes?

it's a netto vote .. so basically if there is a -0.1 vote you substract the tx fee from the vote as you do not have that stake any more (the fee)

if you have a -1000.1 vote you remove your approval to that delegate + the fee

These are NETTO votes ...

Right, thanks. I think I still need to think about this some more to understand how it works, but no time for that atm! :)
