Wake up to more Hive-Engine node issues, then see that I lost some of my biggest votes and dropped from 9 to 36! WTF! I have been a top 10 witness since the witness chain was started.
If I don't get my votes back, this may be the day I turn off my witness node and be done.
At least with proof of work, you don't have to beg for votes to stay in block production status. I can join a pool, turn on a machine, and make money. Not the case with DPOS. So I just lost a stream of income that I have had for years because I lost 2 votes... This is what happens when the few have more than the many.
is this because they feel "you are not around" during the crisis???
this is always the top 20 Hive witness comment.
Which is bullshit because I have been here working on my node for the last 2 damn days and letting people know what the fuck has been up. I lost my votes last night while I was asleep. Like WTF? Aggroed said it probably wasn't personal and that I would most likely get them back when I get caught up, which is understandable if they need to push people to the top 20 during something like this, but at least let a dude know... This is why I hate DPOS altogether. It was the same kind of shit in the Cosmos space when I validated over there. Nothing but a popularity contest.
The problem is too is that the WORKERBEE needed to vote is HIGHLY concentrated between a few people.
yep.
BS.
Tell me about it bro.
