RE: (UPDATE #1) Witnesses: Who do you vote for and why?
I have no idea. Nodes and nodes and nodes is all I know. Which means servers, which I know nothing at all about lol
But yeah, a collective homesteady witness would be really cool.
Hmmm. I'll look into it. My super tech-nerdy partner might want a new project ;) He's not on Steemit, but thinking about it. I understand witnesses are paid to confirm blocks, and am guessing we (as in he) have the technical know-how...but I don't fully understand the community engagement piece of the puzzle. What would these communities want from a dedicated witness?
Not sure... Probably some kind of development that could support a community SMT. It'd be cool to ask the collective groups that question...
think it's only the top 21 that actually confirm blocks and receive the block reward, but yes, they're paid pretty well. There are theirs of involvement I believe, like the top 21 do something, the top 50 do other things, and thr top 100 do other things for the chain.
You should get him on steem. :)
I saw the offer put out for free steem accounts. I'll check in with him again. He's interested, but doesn't have much free time, and probably would only post sporadically.
