I think you should all just get your own witnesses going, so you all have to learn how it works and how to spin up a node, you will all 3 get more out of it

Thank you for your feedback @ackza. We are not really interested in getting triple the witness node. The amount of people now witnessing has become very competitive and many who put themselves forward alone fail to cover the costs of running the node. We believe that witness earnings are large enough that they are better split between the many projects and people who bring value to steem. Some of those in the top 19 use their payment to fund other projects. Our witness is doing the same but it is between the 3 of us. I don't think it is any different. In the meantime Rhonda and I are learning about running the server and what to do if something were to go wrong, and we are also learning how that is prevented.

@nnnarvaez has attempted a community witness in the past. I expect it is very challenging as people need to be able to make decisions as the witness co owner, and the more people involved the more difficult it becomes. However between @sircork @rhondak and I, we 3 share our aspirations for the Steem blockchain and usually agree on what is good for the platform.
