Part 3/8:
The conversation shifted toward a “day in the life” of a witness, where the intricacies of maintaining blockchain stability were discussed. Both witnesses elaborated on the rigorous maintenance required, including server monitoring and redundant setups to ensure consistent functionality. The cost associated with running these servers was highlighted, with Archang and Roland acknowledging the substantial investment needed to maintain operational efficiency.
Crucially, Archang noted that while the rewards from being a top witness could provide benefits, the reality is that many dedicate more time and resources than the monetary rewards might reflect. This prompted the dialogue towards the passion behind being a witness, asserting that community engagement often outweighs financial incentives.
