I posted the following at the thread above:
Hi all, I'm MalReynolds and I would like your vote as a Lisk Active Delegate.
There has been a lot of discussion on what makes a good delegate. Enthusiasm. Community activity. Reward Pools. All these things are certainly important.
I ran a Crypti node for many months and so I have a pretty good idea of what the job of Active Delegate entails. It's harder than it might seem to be.
Let me tell you what I think is important about being a delegate:
uptime, updates and upvotes.
I will monitor my VPS to keep it online as much as possible. I will install the Lisk updates as they are issued. I will upvote new Standby Delegates as required to keep all 101 Active Delegates productive and forging.
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is harder than it looks to get right as a functioning system. I will discuss weaknesses I see in the DPoS delegate network and work to raise public awareness to correct those weaknesses as they occur. My primary focus is a commitment to making Lisk DPoS work smoothly as a whole.
