I think basing your votes on peoples current productivity on a broken client version testnet that forks for some people every 3-4 hours isn't necessarily the best or only criteria that should be followed. I appreciate Mal's work and efforts to push all of our names, but much more has gone into this than just current testnet productivity ratings and it doesn't tell the entire story.

My productivity on testnet is very low, but that is because I publicly acknowledged that I'm not even running a node right now and wanted newcomers to get votes over me. I was voted into the 101 without me even requesting votes, and so my node is not forging any blocks because there isn't even one running atm. This is my own personal decision to not run one on testnet right now, which I am fully aware some may view as non-dedication, but if that is how you view it, I think your priorities are in the wrong place.

I would recommend anyone who wants to run a node at any point and has not had an opportunity, please ask to be voted up on testnet so you can get some practice and exposure. I wish that the 101 testnet delegates were honestly no one currently in the reserve top 101 on main net and were others getting experience setting up the software. Even then, it will be a very frustrating experience until the forking bugs are fixed in the next version, but that is GOOD experience for anyone new to delegating.

There is much more to all of this than is evident and a lot of it is carried out in other chat channels and forums, which requires much more vetting and thought when casting votes. Voting for delegates is one of the most important aspects of Lisk and something everyone should take very seriously. Do your due diligence. Use what Mal has posted as one factor, but please look at the whole picture and make your own decision based on the criteria YOU feel is important. These are your representatives to the Lisk network and are responsible for it's security and well being.

Come in Lisk Chat and get to know everyone. There's a lot going on outside of BitcoinTalk. I would say 90% of what is happening with Lisk is happening outside of this forum.
