Made a witness monitor script to check the 3 core witness tasks on regular intervals, see: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,24042.0.html

Would you be willing to make this open source?

I noticed that, thx for your job. +5%

Glad to see the witness team injected fresh blood.

In-depth study of BitShares 2.0, I believe you will fall in love with her, to play your talent, to expand the ecosystem of BitShares.

I'm a proxy, you have my vote!
Voting status will be updated in 16:00 ( UTC+8 ).

EPIC thx Yao! fyi, i was already supporting Bitshares with a public seednode for about half a year, but now wanted to be more serious. Thanks for your vote!

I released a new Bitshares tool today: Public Bitshares Witness Log: Check it out here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,24069.msg305401.html#msg305401
It displays current pricefeeds for witnesses and missed blocks and updates 3 times per hour. Direct link: http://roelandp.nl/bitshareswitnesslog

@Thom this is what I found about it:
http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/dpos.html#how-many-witnesses-are-securing-the-network

HOW MANY WITNESSES ARE SECURING THE NETWORK
This is totally in the hands of the shareholders. If the majority votes for 50 witnesses, then 50 witnesses will be used. If the shareholders only vote for 20, so be it. The minimum possible witness count is 11.

I think here is the counter code: db_maint.cpp#L159

Curious, WHY are there only 19 witnesses, did the committee vote to change that from 21 to 19?

From 24 to 21 to 19. Who or what is driving these changes?

The number of witness slots is the weighted average of the number of witnesses voted for by a given voter (proxy). Proxies voting for fewer witnesses will reduce the witness slots, which is what recently happened, resulting in two slots being eliminated. The number of witness slots is always an odd number and may not be less than 11. The committee has no impact on witness slots.

Thanks for that fox, I had no idea. Somewhere along the way I got it in my head it was just another committee parameter.

So if I understood you correctly the count is directly related to how many witnesses each vote proxy votes for. What do you mean by "weighted" average? And how do votes from individual accounts factor in?

In essence reduction of the number of witnesses gives the remaining witnesses more opportunities to produce a block and hence pay increases.

We do have 2 new witnesses (rolandp and sahkan) who I believe will be great additions. I am curious tho on the drop to 19.

voted.

now there are only 19 witnesses, if roelandp is voted in, another will be voted out.

how about to increase the number of witnesses to let more effective witnesses in? @xeroc  is it possible for you to vote more witnesses?

Yeah, Just be able to track account balances.  Just add the account name and track profit/loss.

Cool, experimented a bit with @svk 's libs and got some rudimentary working... WIP very much: I used your balance :)
Updated @Pheonike ! Let me know if this is what you are looking for? Do you need additional data?

@fav, i noticed that Blockfolio has the following pairs from Bitshares: BTS / BTC, BTS / CNY, PTS/BTC. You want them to have the Dex added as one of the exchanges to make them watch for?

@Pheonike would this be an app were you can glance your bitshares portfolio iaw your account_balances? Sounds like a fun app / site to make. I can see when I can put some time in this. It is totally possible with the cli_wallet / websocket.
