ahh so if something changes in the overall ranking it doesn't affect the top 20! Thanks man!

because you know i thought that if let's say i am in rank 35 and the one that is 36th is inactive, that would make me actually being in 34. That's why i confused

From hive.blog FAQ
"The Hive blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by the backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with Hive Power for each block they create."
