It's URGENT that you change your witness votes, NOW
Well hello to anyone who might see this. Have you seen some recent posts about TRON and Justin Sun? If you're around Steemit you probably have. Do you know what's going on? Hopefully yes, but if not, you need to check your witness votes and make sure that you are supporting the right witnesses. Seriously, this is important.
The steem blockchain is currently under attack by several sock puppet accounts. Go to https://steemian.info/witnesses and take a look. You see all those witnesses without avatars whose names are in red? Yeah, those are sock puppets who have a MASSIVE amount of SP proxied to them and are using it to try and take control of the blockchain.
If you haven't already, go here: https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses and adjust your witness votes. We need to push the sock puppets out of the top 20.
The top 9, currently blocktrades, roelandp, good-karma, anyx, someguy123, ausbitbank, yabapmatt, gtg, themarkymark seem pretty secure at the moment. My suggestion would be to make sure to vote for a few below the top twenty who could potentially push some of the sock puppets out. Steempress is currently #26, aggroed and cervantes are 31 and 32 respectively. If we can get at least one of them into the top 20 that means that we will have at least 10 REAL witnesses in top 20. So go make sure your witness votes are in order, just make sure you DONT vote for any of the sock puppets, the ones who are in red on this list: https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses. Otherwise steem is going to become whatever Justin Sun wants it to be, not what you want it to be.
I Just powered up about 550 steem and SBD that I've had sitting in my account for a rainy day, just to improve my witness voting power that little bit. I suggest you do the same to make your votes count for as much as possible.
