RE: Zero HIVE

I kind of sort of agree more is better, but honestly only 21ish witnesses are actually getting used at any given time. API servers are a different beast, since you actually have to point your applications to them. I'm more worried about the 21 witnesses we have voted in not being able to sustain a DDoS, and how it would play out if multiple top witnesses are DoS'd. I whole-heartedly agree that any top witnesses running on underpowered or vulnerable hardware need to be weeded out. At some point they'll have to cross the threshold from hobbyist to institutional grade. We need the witness votes to age out to keep constant pressure on them to stay ahead of the curve.
