Slow- so slow: March 3 2020

Still moving slow. Miss BB and I walked to vote today after I did some heavy witness voting. So much excitement on the chain today.

The good news is that the community really came together.

Anyway, I haven’t even checked what the election results are. Should do that now. Off to bed...

Yes, Justin Sun bought Steemit - which is one of the frontends that run on the Steem blockchain. With that, he bought a bunch of Steem which was supposed to be used to pay for development on the blockchain. It is millions and millions of Steem.
The way witnesses go up in the ranking is based on the SP the voting accounts have. If you have a lot - you as one person can vote in witnesses and then do whatever you want instead of the community having a say in it.
The witnesses were concerned about this kind of misuse since Justin did not agree to communicate with them. The issued a soft fork to temporarily freeze the known accounts Steemit Inc was holding.
Justin got mad and convinced three exchanges to power up the steem they were holding - their customers steem - and vote in 20 witnesses he set up - basically computers run by him or his team. He promised the exchanges that he was going to do a hardfork on Steem that you can power down in one day - since it was not their Steem but that of their customers.
The community noticed what is going on and started to vote. Many people either didn't bother to vote for witnesses, didn't use all their 30 votes, or had a lot of votes going to witnesses far down from the top 20 - the top 20 are the decision-makers.
Many changed their votes to vote for the top-ranked that had a chance to make it into the top 20. We needed at least 4 to prevent a hardfork. Right now, we have 7.
These are the top witnesses we have in right now.

There are 20 all with the same setup. All of them are running version 0.22.5 as you can see. Do NOT vote for any of them and if you already did by accident, please remove your vote.

These screenshots are taken from steempeak where you can vote for witnesses. You can also vote on steemworld.org.

I see. Thank you for giving so much of your time explaining it to me. I've set my voting proxy following @tarazkp before I found your post. He's also talking about the exact same thing as you do. I actually have 3 more dead or sleeping account. If I used that account for voting will it help a bit?

I think it does if they have any SP in it. Lots of small amounts will make a difference. Glad that you are voting!
