Hello @xeroc, I am also a big BTS fan...I read that backup witnesses do not get paid on Bitshares, is that correct?..

That is currently correct. Depending on how the competitions with active witnesses go, we might see a change here.
Also note that BitShares has a variable number of witnesses in contrast to the fixed 21 in Steem.
I was about to set up a witness node on a VPS, until I read this...
Witness pay would make it a lot easier to set up what I'm trying to do with LEARNCOIN and video tutorials for bitshares, but odds are good I would end up spending money on a VPS and time on a witness campaign only to find out I haven't been a member of the bitshares community long enough to get the required votes....
Backup witness pay means you get at least SOMETHING for your efforts...
