Dear Hive Witnesses,
Around four months back, I revived something dear to my heart—the Meet Our Hive Witness Interview Series. This interview idea was inspired by something very simple: the desire to close the gap between our witnesses and all of us in the Hive community, to bring insights, journeys, experiences, and genuine human moments into the spotlight.
So far, so good. Since I started the interview, I have been privileged to interview 13 witnesses through the text-based interview, and it is no doubt that it has been an eye-opening experience for myself and those who have come across the interview. All the interviews so far have showcased the human side and the technical aspect - the vision, the motivation, the struggles, and the sacrifices that keep this blockchain that we are all using going and alive.
To all the 13 witnesses out of the 100-plus witnesses who have given me their support, time, words, and the grace to get them interviewed and share it with the Hive community, I say a very big thank you. That opportunity you gave me through your openness has personally inspired me and a lot of Hivers to now understand better what witness work truly means.
Going through the Hive Blockchain Witnesses list, Hive is home to over 200-plus witnesses, of whom 167 or thereabouts are still active, shouldering different stories, impacts, and perspectives of their own. This open letter is a humble request and invitation to those who I am yet to interview from the username tags below to please grant me safe passage and the opportunity to let me interview you so I can share your experience and journey also with the Hive community.
I am not here to criticize anyone's work through my questions but to bring out the words of the backbone keeping the Hive Blockchain together and stronger. Every voice matters, which I believe Hivers are anticipating to hear one or two from you.
Of course, I am very much aware that your time is valuable and you have piles of blocks to write and work to do which can sometimes be overwhelming. But even a very small moment of your time can leave a long-lasting impact on our minds. This interview series is not about me but about documenting our history together, a witness at a time -— It is about us.
And to all my fellow Hivers who have been following suit by reading, commenting, asking me when the next interview will be, and encouraging this project, I am sincerely grateful; your support fuels me, to be honest. To the rest of the witnesses that I am yet to interview, I hope you will not see this as a stress or command but as a humble invitation to share your light and journey with us as a community that has trust in you.
And I believe that in togetherness and unity, we will keep this blockchain moving and stronger not just by votes or coding alone, but by sharing each moment of our stories that binds us together.
With appreciation and gratitude,
[Dhavey of @goldenproject]

Whaoo
This is an amazing idea
So far
Which of the witness was more fun to relate and talk to? And what is that one question you always ask all of them
Thank you!
Everything was "fun" because they all stared different perspectives on the questions asked.
Oh
Maybe I’ll be a witness so you can interview me
Omo, this is a very good initiative o
Bridging the gap between users on hive and witnesses is really cool.
I really hope the witnesses give you audience to carry out this wonderful project.
Kudos my bro 🤝🏽
#ocd #hive #withness
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I appreciate this a lot.
You're welcome bro 🤝🏼
The was an amazing idea have been loving the interviews so far and cant wait for next one
Thank you so much and stay tuned for who is next.
I have come across your post about hive witnesses like thrice but I couldn't understand what was really going on. Reading this now, I now understand what this is all about and I can say this is something incredible. This initiative is so good. Bring them in, we are waiting to read and engage.
I'm glad you now know what it's all about. Thank you so much for stopping by.
It's so good to see the great works and efforts you put into place in carrying this out.
We are hopeful that this project moves on and we will always be here to read through the journey of our Hive witnesses.
Weldone Dhavey ☺️

Anticipating eagerly for your next interview...
Thanks so much for the hope and prayer. I appreciate that a lot.
This is not something easy to do as these witnesses can take things differently and I’m proud of you to do all of these things for us. I really do hope that the other witnesses that are yet to be interviewed will gladly make themselves available to share their ideas and experiences with us.
All the best to you, Dhavey and thank you for this letter. It was a beautiful read. 🥰
!PIMP !LUV !BBH
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and reading through the letter. It is not easy but I'll keep pushing to share the journey of our witnesses to the Hive community. They are all doing a great job.
You’re welcome! Consistency is key. You will achieve your goal as long as you stay consistent.
Yeah! I believe 😁

Wow.... This is mind-blowing. I never would have thought that something of this sort is in motion.
Honestly, I'm proud you kept moving on with the interviews no matter the rubbishes that came with it.
You totally blew me off my feet with this creativity of yours. One brownie points 😅
I am glad you now know that something like this is in motion, Soma.
Thank you so much.👏
😊😊😊
You're welcome
You are doing well and I must commend your effort into putting this out and learning from every witness is something to learn from. Hive keeps getting better. I hope other witnesses create time to share their stories, too. Listening to some of the interviews so far in the past has been amazing and I hope it works out.
I am glad that you have read through some of the interviews. I hope that the rest will also work out.
Thank you so much, Busayo.
I like the fact that you are passionate with this mission of us. It's not easy the part you have chosen to follow, and there will be a lot of challenges of which I'm already seeing some but I wish you well and hope you will be able to scale through.
You have said it all, that is just it, and thanks for the good wishes. I appreciate that a lot.
Wow... first off, I need to applaud this 👏👏👏
You are doing well sir, what a beautiful initiative this is.
I truly hope more witnesses will open up to this and grant you some audience out of their busy schedule. That will definitely let us see and remind us that witnesses are human too and they have stories and all.
💯💯💯
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words. I truly appreciate it all.
