Excellent post. I just joined your curation trail within the last few weeks so you likely don't have me activated in your group. I vote all trails at 25% to keep my small VP high. I support @guiltyparties for witness as well. I check my votes in SteemWorld constantly, so I can see where my bit of support goes. Most of my SP is delegated out, but I can possibly make a small delegation to @thealliance once my excess comes back from an old delegation I reduced. Let's all chip in together. :)
Like your train of thought. Another witness you may consider (if you haven't already) is @c0ff33a. As I was going through seeing who was delegating what, I saw he was delegating to a lot of the smaller SP accounts up above that barely have enough to have a vote, to help give them some curation in their efforts. Guilty is top notch, hands down. Also, @jackmiller is a great one to look in to if you have some other witness votes open. I'd toot my own horn and say @enginewitty, but we all a team in the long run.
I checked steemd for my witness votes and find that I vote for:
actifit
aggroed
anarcho-andrei
ausbitbank
blocktrades
castellano
curie
firepower
guiltyparties
steemgigs
themarkymark
timcliff
ura-soul@evernoticethat votes for:
I'm going to add those three you mentioned assuming there is no @thealliance witness. Didn't know I had so many votes open.
Another thing you can use to see your votes and vote on the same site (if you're not already aware of it) is https://steemworld.org/. Actually where I pulled most of this information from. Funny you ask that, been mulled over to run it as a back up, but have not done so yet. @ura-soul is a hats-off fella. Had the pleasure of hanging out with him last year. Other notables (because they helped with donations for our Block Party this year) would be @thecryptodrive (from @buildteam), @adsactly-witness, @crowdwitness for the @crowdmind project, @patrice (@steemcleaners), @c-squared (with help from @justineh) and I'll always have a soft spot for @someguy123 because he helped recover this account in a matter of hours when it got hacked. You don't forget things like that.
Toot toot!
Vote @enginewitty for witness!
