RE: Who decides the witness ranks and what if we all had only 10 or 5 witness votes
Yeah @gadrian. This can solved with expiry of witness votes or making people realize how much important the vote for the blockchain. Decreasing votes will kill the enthusiasm of low ranked witnesess who are in hope one day they will be in top.
About expiration of witness votes, that might be... problematic. Because this involves changes into the blockchain code that requires cycling through every vote for every witness and seeing if it expired or not. And doing that as a relatively regular interval. That imply higher resource demands (especially CPU) regularly. Which kinda goes against what MIRA is trying to do. At least that is as far as I understand it, without being a witness or knowing the insides of the Steem blockchain.
That's an excellent point. Hope what really is best in this issue will be decided. Whatever it is it's in hands of the witnesess to decide again.
