RE: New Witness Voting System

This system also doesn't make the UX any more complicated. Just like upvoting posts, users would be able to upvote witnesses with a scroll bar that goes from 1% to 100% voting power rather than every vote being automatically 100% voting power. Hive users are already familiar with this UX so it adds zero complexity/learning-curve to Hive... which is a big deal because Hive is already too complex for new users.

To some extent it sounds nice, but on a second thought, it's a bit flawed.

I don't really know much about the witnesses votes and how it all works, I can barely remember if I've voted for any, but I think I have. I understand it's for the good and up bringing of the network.

That said, back to the bit of flaw am picking up in this idea :

From the perspective of 1 - 100% voting option.

Though the idea that was implemented on post voting mechanism was cool, but in case of voting for "power" I feel it's different and doesn't quite fit ( I could be wrong)

I mean, when voting for power, it's different from scoring. Voting a post is more like scoring the effort, but a witness vote is like an ultimate support or non. It's not really supposed to be adjustable ( that's based on percentage)

In real sense, am saying why would "someone" give me a 40% witness vote perhaps?

That would mean he or she is not fully in support of me, and in a vote into power there shouldn't be any of such, it's either you're in support or against, I don't know if am making sense?

So having the voting percentage adjustable is flawed, because it's not really professional to have someone voting based on percentage, it's either one is sure of the said witness, gives full support or ultimately against!

(Just saying, maybe my puzzle is missing a piece)
