Witness in top 63 not being selected; Similar to -> #26 Witness block generation issue, seeing "broadcast_commit" and "broadcast_reveal" but not generating about revpop-core HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi! On the first matter, we're doing some fine-tuning for the randomization engine for top 63. The latest version of the application happens to choose from the top 21 (just for the time being); so it’s actually operating as intended (again though just for now). Though good catch nonetheless! The randomization engine will be updated following testing (and any revisions required) of the work. On the second matter - it also works as intended; the test RVP accumulates in node owner's vesting balance. If you log into your account, you should see a "Vesting balances" item in the main menu. Thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for the explanation. Still cant manage to find the vesting balances item, with "main menu" do you mean the dashboard? I've tried to find it for a while now.

Keep up the good work. Had a blast setting this stuff up.

It should be there under the menu drop down upper right - maybe try page refresh. Thanks!

Hi Guys;) Thanks for the update...we did think we were going a bit mad with us not turning up in the list. Obviously we're fumbling in the dark a bit trying to work out cause and effect with certain things so I/we apologise if anything seems obvious or stupid to you. Ultimately we're just trying to be 'ready' for mainnet and so are trying to understand how things work and are at a bit of a loss atm.

Our intention was to a) create nodes b) get votes to get into top 63 and c) get chosen as top 21 witnesses to d) see how it functions/where RVP goes etc. All so that we have an idea of how Mainnet will work.

We did the following a) got two nodes aforementioned functioning 24/7 (w-haleys-node-t and martinl420) b) got some votes from the community/each other which got us into space 51/52 c) As we saw there may be a functionality diff (as you confirmed) we tried to up our votes to get into top 21 (admittedly which we're sorry if this caused an issue, we didn't know it would at the time) but stopped when we realised we'd both drained the faucet and were never going to attain enough votes to get into the top 21 anyway..it would have taken 100 days of the same effort to acquire them.

Whether by design (i.e. someone put us on the 'naughty step', lol) or something else (some functionality we do not understand - security protocol maybe) our nodes both then 'disappeared' from the available witness list. MartijnL4 created another user 'sorry-for-botting' and then linked that account to his node instead (that's now at pos 58). Even though my witness node is still working 24/7 it is not showing up on the Witness List nor as having any votes. Then, weirdly, last night at around 11pm (GMT) I got a msg from MartijnL4 with a png showing our witnesses had 'appeared' again out of nowhere...mine at 38 with 2,125,648 votes and his at 39 with 1,986,640. They then disappeared again by this morning. So, we honestly don't know what's going on/why and if there's anything we can do about it or not?

Finally, the 'Vesting' Balance you mentioned. I/we, having looked, are confused on the makeup of this/how it is related to our nodes activity? i.e. mine, W-Haleys-node-t, has 1,936 RVP. The Martinl420 node has, similarly, 1,937. These have been up more or less the same amount of time, as witness nodes, even though not picked as active witnesses, so 'could' be understood to be similar. However, the new one that he just set up days ago, has been up nowhere near the same amount of time yet has, 1,932 RVP. We don't understand how our nodes, obviously without understanding the process, acting (or trying to act as active witnesses) relates to our eerily similar Vesting Balance totals. Not being picked as Active Witnesses we're both only having two txn's per hour so, no matter what the fee is, the 'sorry-for-botting' witness node should be a lot less surely?

Cheers Guys:)
