I am essentially a 'back-up' witness and have not been very active on Hive lately due to being extremely busy as of late with my 5 year old. That being said, I do maintain and keep my witness node running! I hope to have more time to commit sometime soon at while point I'd like to upgrade my servers and earn a higher spot on the rankings.
As it is now, I am just breaking even (perhaps losing/donating a bit of money) every month running the service. Not complaining, I am happy to help support and keep the blockchain running smoothly!
Rank isn't important, you still believe in Hive enough to recognize transactions for the chain. Trust me, I get being a dad!
It's friggin' exhausting! haha
Feel ya, I'm on round two. I had boys that are grown and on their own paths and now I got a batch of princesses!
Round 2 here as well! My oldest son is fully grown as well.. Never thought I'd be having another but here I am with a 5 year old...
