is there a reputation requirement or could infinite bots proxy their vote? I can't find out about this anywhere and I think it's insanely important to address that or fix the loophole it creates. Also is there any tool to see who is getting their proxies from and who is sending out proxies? Not accusing anyone, but if that is the case anyone who is a witness could have paid to be one. Thinking like, if you spent maybe 20k on bots and got like 12-15k bots out of it and proxied their vote and then vote for yourself as a witness. Out of the almost 1 million users that is a 1.5% vote that puts you at 80 in the top 100 witnesses. Pretty important for fact checking! That is a lot of money, but to someone wealthy they could become a witness overnight using bid bots for reputation boosting and then bots for witness voting.

I'm sure you could track down all this info... You might want to see what others have pulled from the data... And to a degree I think for sure there are some of these happening, that is how we got haejin to be unstoppable in the first place. I don't know enough of the intricate details to really comment on "how" they do it. But in my mind it is very clear that the bigger players have their money in the bots (and they are earning a pretty penny from it too). If you find out, please let me know... I will be happy to see that info!
Your post is so encouraging most especially to us new entrants. Thanks alot for this .
Thank you for the comment and for reading. I try to be balanced and explain what I see! I have been here every day since Dec when I joined, so obviously there are things I like. But of course there are things I don't too... That's why I think education is important to set the right expectations! :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask any time! :)
That scares me at any time a rich person can buy like 300k of bots and vote in like 30 witnesses or their own accounts and take over the blockchain no?
