You are very right, it is something very important that works very well.
I think we can do a lot of that through promoting good, up to date documentation. So far that's been one of our main issues.
Thank you all @guiltyparties @socky @lanzjoseg Let us know how we can be of any additional help for any of the above mentioned, Thank you all again from all of us on the Niffler team for all that you do, day in day out!
I would like to see witnesses support exchanges to get their STEEM node operational each time there is a STEEM blockchain issue. This leads to suspended wallets with no understanding on when or if they will ever recover. Steemit Inc refuses to do it, most users can't do it, and exchanges don't care. The slack needs to be picked up by witnesses.
This would be possible only in cases where a specific witness has an existing dialogue with the exchange. It goes hand in hand with your push to get witnesses active in listing coins. A witness that lists the coin will likely have the relationship in place to get the nodes operational .... providing that same witness knows how to run their own node, which isn't always the case.
You got it.
I wish Steemit Inc would delegate the responsibility to specific trusted witnesses since they won't do it themselves. (for the existing exchanges)
