Time for a change in Top101: #HostsNotGhosts pushes up 11 deserving delegates

A new list of heroes has been made by community members. These names will bring fresh air into the ecosystem, contributing more to Lisk thanks to the forging position and increasing the rewards for voters, as the sharing % is higher than the “Ghosts”.

During the first community campaign #HeroesNotZeroes, millions of LSK changed their votes, kicking out inactive forging delegates in order to push deserving standby members. 8 out of 10 people were able to start forging, proving the success of the initiative.

This time the community has a new occasion to bring fresh air into Lisk ecosystem. This is happening after the dissolution of Elite group: some delegates started their own individual pool, others built a new group and other are considered as totally inactive (not sharing LSK, not active in Discord, not maintaining a testnet node).

The community worked on a public spreadsheet to propose standby delegates and individuate “Ghosts”.

After a careful analysis, many members of the community endorsed the following list under the name #HostsNotGhosts:

 

Hosts (standby delegates)	Ghosts (forging delegates)
minions	4miners.net
przemer	liskpool_com_01
jesusthehun	joel
liskcenter.io	bilibili
liskjapan	acheng
johnmuck	augurproject
dav1	grajsondelegate
crypto_embassy	mac
anonimowy891	panzer
lemon	crolisk
ultrafresh	jixie

The list has been made considering some aspects:

1) preserve the network, avoiding changes that might incetivize bad actors to attack Lisk (e.g.: change 50% of the active delegates);
2) be sure that standby delegates have a proven track record of contributions and aim to further improve Lisk;
3) protect previous “Heroes” delegates that are at the bottom of top101 (Jong, Gym, etc) and can easily pushed out;
4) provide a real list of delegates that can be replaced in a reasonable timeframe.

If this campaign will be a success as the previous one, for sure Lisk ecosystem can be further improved and other forging delegates that are passively holding their positions can be replaced by upcoming community initiatives.
