Context
HIVE Witnesses are the pillars of the HIVE blockchain but many Hivers don’t even know we exist or don’t even care. Those who know and/or care don’t have much visibility on what the “job” involves or how much witnesses earn.
All witnesses need from you is a witness vote that costs you nothing (it does not use your vote power like a post or comment upvote). By voting for a witness, you are telling the blockchain that you trust that Hiver for performing task of signing blocks and keeping the Hive platform stable and safe.
All the transactions (activities) you perform (create/edit posts, comments, upvotes, transfers etc...) on various Dapps (hive.blog, peakd.com, hivesigner.com etc...) have to be witnessed and signed by a software running on a witness node (computer/server) running 24/7/365.25 before being added to the blockchain. This operation can be time consuming and requires some expenses. For doing this work, HIVE Witnesses are getting rewarded with Hive Power for each block that they have signed and successfully added to the blockchain.
Blocks of transactions are processed in rounds of 63 seconds each. In each round, 21 witnesses will be picked to sign the blocks and have 3 seconds to sign. The 21 witnesses in each round are the top 20 witnesses plus 1 witness amoung the remaining (called the Backup Witnesses). The single Backup Witness in each round is selected in a weighted random manner based on their ranking, the higher they rank the more likely they are to be selected.
Every day, the system generates some HIVE tokens that are split into three pools:
- 65% is allocated to the reward pool that is used to pay author and curation rewards.
- 15% is allocated as interest to Hive Power holders.
- 10% is allocated to the Hive Proposal System pool to fund new projects voted by the community.
- 10% is allocated as producer rewards to the HIVE Witnesses for their work for the blockchain.
Disclaimer
I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy on the numbers found in this post. This is just to give you an idea of the distribution of Hive Power through the witness operations. If you do find an oddity, please let me know and I will make sure to get it fixed.
General Producer Reward HP distribution
There was a total of 200449 blocks produced and 56859.32 HP earned during last week.
The column chart below represents the distribution of Hive Power earned by witnesses over the last week.
Notice the dramatic drop past the rank 20. Remember, each round is composed of each of the Top20 witnesses and one backup witness. This means each Top20 witness has to sign a block every 63 seconds (max), while for a backup witness, it will be much less often. The servers of the Top20 witnesses are thus under higher load/stress than those of the backup witnesses. You need to keep this in mind when looking at their number of missed blocks: 10 missed blocks for a witness at rank 10 does not mean the same as 10 missed blocks for a witness at rank 120 for example.
Producer Reward Report
- Time range: 2020-05-18 00:00:01 to 2020-05-24 23:59:59 UTC
- Average price of 1 HIVE as of today: 0.273 USD (source: average price from feed history over 12 hours)
- Note: Higher ranked HIVE Witnesses does not always mean higher reward. A high rank and low block production might be sign of of technical difficulty leading to missed blocks or that the witness node was down for maintenance for a certain period of time.
HP distribution by active rank tier, ordered by earnings last week.
Your name might not appear in the charts below due to space limitation, this would change from week to week.
Top20: total of 46060.08 HP earned
Active Rank 21-40: total of 7545.79 HP earned
Active Rank 41-60: total of 2197.46 HP earned
Active Rank 61-80: total of 722.44 HP earned
Active Rank 81-100: total of 267.33 HP earned
Active Rank 101-120: total of 55.40 HP earned
Under 120: total of 7.22 HP earned
All tiers combined ordered by HP earned.
Here is the full report from all active HIVE Witnesses. Please also take this opportunity to see what they do for the community and cast a vote for them in order to help the platform.
Reminder: the average price of 1 HIVE as of today is 0.273 USD (source: average price from feed history over 12 hours)
Notes:
- Blocks can be missed for various reasons including technical issues, misconfiguration, bugs in a new version of the blockchain software etc... and the higher your rank, the higher the chance it can happen.
- Some witnesses are managing multiple projects for Hive and the communities in addition to maintaining their various nodes and hence don't often post.
- Click on the witness names to get to their witness announcement post.
- The earnings in USD below are just an estimate and are only effective if the witness are powering down and convert their liquid HIVE to fiat. By keeping their producer rewards powered up, they take the risk of seeing those staked HP loosing value if the market goes down.

- Thanks to @witnesswatch for the original idea, that project seemed to have been abandoned, so I've decided to create my own and add some salt and pepper.
For the top witnesses, it boggles my mind that some have proposals to fund hive infrastructure - when the witness rewards could more than sustain that infrastructure at this stage and at current price of the hive token.
To my understanding, running a full node is not a requirement for a Witness. Also the market is quite volatile so cancelling a proposal is taking a risk of seeing Hive price going down and having the infrastructure unpaid. Now that we are fully decentralised we need something stable.
Maybe the community to un-support those types of proposals until we need to put it back on top. But like with Witness votes, it seems that proposal votes are a little bit too... sticky...
But I agree with you, there are proposals that are overrated and again like for witness votes, your vote and mine don't count for much...
Full node may not be a requirement, but I'm definitely going to support the witnesses that elect to run one over one that doesn't - those full nodes are what keeps the lights on so to speak.
If the witness rewards aren't enough to fund the ongoing network infrastructure, then there's something wrong with the network itself, or the token value.
Hive is incredibly sustainable right now. I hope the witnesses are saving for a rainy day in case it comes.
It's definitely a plus and shows that the witness owner want to add value to his/her participation. Pure coincidence, @roelandp just launched his own full node cluster made of 3 hefty servers: https://hivean.com/hive-139531/@roelandp/announcing-my-hive-full-api-cluster-hive-roelandp-nl
The requirement I mentioned is what is defined in the whitepaper. But the community is voting for witnesses so the community can set the requirement.
I believe those rules need to be changed a little and distribute more fairly the wealth toward other witnesses below rank 20. Even if you consider the stress load etc and missing blocks...
Totally agree:
Look at that drop!
Hi @quochuy i wanna ask you a question: how is possible that the total blocks produced are 801587 if in one week there are 3600 * 24 * 7 = 604800 seconds? So if a block is produced every 3 seconds this means that the total number should be something around 201600. Maybe 801587 is the number for a month?
Anyway great report!!
Good question indeed.
My report is based on several scripts, some of which are recording blocks coming from the API as they get streamed to me. I will have to check the data recorded.
Thanks for noticing
That's my job...LOL :) you are welcome! bye
I've fixed the way I calculate the total and it's more accurate now.
Thanks again
Great!! I am happy to have been of help! :)
Any chance ocd-witness' activity could be linked to me or @ocd since we never use that account for such?
If you set you Witness owner to your account using peakd then in one of my next report I might be able to pull that out
So, What's the best Witness to upvote on and why?
Hard to say. Best for what? Best for who?
You need to go to one of the witnesses pages like https://peakd.com/me/witnesses and checkout the witness description, then click on the link to their witness announcement and learn about them.
Please note that you can change your votes at anytime so don't be afraid of casting a vote. As you learn more about a witness you might or not change your mind.
Anyone got a list of witnesses that are running full nodes? I wana make sure I'm only voting for top 20 witnesses running full nodes.
Here's a detailed list of API and seed nodes with their owners. Also not a requirement, but running a seed is highly recommended. We used to have a lot of seeds (~30 of them) on the STEEM network and very few API nodes (those were very expensive back then). But developing MIRA by Steemit Inc helped reduce greatly the cost of running an API node, and now we have almost an equal number of API and seed nodes. I'd like to see at least more seeds, especially from the top20.
https://hivekings.com/nodes
To my knowledge
@gtg runs api.openhive.network
@drakos runs api.hivekings.com
@anyx runs anyx.io
@roelandp runs hive.roelandp.nl
@someguy123 runs hived.privex.io
@blocktrades runs api.hive.blog
@pharesim runs api.pharesim.me
@good-karma runs api.esteem.app
I think ausbitbank also has a full node since they are listed on peakD.
Is there any benifit for the users to make a witness vote?
It definitely benefited Justin Sun to vote for his Top20 Steem witnesses.
Top 20 witnesses can do good or real bad to the platform. They have the power of accepting changes to the code of the blockchain which dictate which rules the blockchain will be following. By voting for witnesses you trust (up to 30, which can be updated at any time), you participate into electing who can have the power to defend your interests or attack them.
However, there is no direct benefits, you won't earn more, you won't be VIP in their curation, you won't escape their downvotes etc...
It seems like decentralization is just another word. It doesn't exist. I will not name people, but I have seen witnesses who misuse their power by upvoting those who do oil-messaging to them.
About whether someone is VIP in the eyes of Top20 or not, the evidence is for everyone to see. Justin bribed them and overtook steem.
Decentralization on paper is equivalent to communism on paper.
It looks good only on paper, not in the real world.
I'd say that reaching 100% decentralization is difficult. There seems to always be a part that is centralised. For example the frontend https://hive.blog itself is centralised, someone has to own it, if the server behind it goes down it goes down. Ideally, we would want a frontend that is powered by multiple servers, owned by multiple users etc...
That's why Hive developers need to find a solution to prevent this, things like one user should not be able to vote 20 witnesses to the top.
It's too early. Maybe you are right, maybe you'll be proved wrong in the future.
Hi,
we-the-people make a change on this, take a look here: https://peakd.com/witness/@we-the-people/we-the-people-your-witness
Thank for this post and for sharing these tools: 👊
It appears that https://hive.arcange.eu/witnesses/ is not updating correctly.
Can you tell me what's not updating correctly?
A huge hug 🤗 and a little bit of !BEER 🍻 from @amico!
Un caro abbraccio 🤗 e un po' di BEER 🍻 da @amico!
