Readjusting my witness votes is one of the first things I did after the fork.

I want to start doing more due diligence in choosing whom I vote for. I kind of do already, but I'd like to be more thourough.

Regarding the "overpriced" proposals, the way I see it, I would like for those working on important projects to be paid enough to make it their full time job (depending on what the project is). If something needs a full time dev, then I think it makes sense that the proposal would be equal to a full time dev's salary.
