Yeah it's pretty insane that he is still out there doing that. It's been a major problem because of the lack of activity and then he is swooping in and downvoting like that which sometimes blurs out our videos. Half the time I feel like I'm just countering his downvotes out there.
Activity got real low because of all the issues and since I set up my Leader node the chain has still went down 3 or 4 times. I have a backup running as well but the way that chain is set up it doesn't jump to reserve nodes so if more than 1 Leader node is down currently the chain halts.
The solution is pretty easy. It's just a matter of these other leaders running nodes in data centers. There are free trials out there they can easily tap into for the time being.
I have had the conversation with them and right now we are at an inflection point because the chain needs to be up for me to continue to build anything on it.
The situation with DTube is sort of a prelude to the future of these other chains. If there is only 20 people on DTube and maybe a couple thousand on HIVE at this point unless there is funding and the incentive to develop there they will just jump to build on chains that are on the first page of CoinMarketCap.
If you aren't going to get funding it makes sense to build where people are.
With DTube I have a plan but I want these guys that are still leaders to be on board with it.
