It looks like steem could use some decentralization

Saw this posted and wasn't sure exactly what this means

It looks like the nodes the witnesses are running, is that correct?

If that is the case it looks like steem needs to decentralize quite a bit more.

Better hope the main steemit node never goes down.

Sort:  

These are seed nodes, not witness nodes. They provide the infrastructure for the peer to peer part of the network.

Ah ok, thanks.

@themarkymark is correct. It's time we all move on to promoting and building up Hive and quit worrying about what Steem is doing.
