I think the premise that most people actually care about anything but 'getting some crypto to HODL' while sleeping is usually around every assumption ... and lately a LOT in the upper echelon here ... look at the reply section. Bots tend to get downvoted if they leave comments ... and you got one comment from someone who seems to have read it ... thats pennsif for the steemnews ... getting you featured in the steemnews, which had a few features in the featured section (where you now get affiliate link marketing which ALSO used to be frowned on and often downvoted for even including one single link in a post at the bottom)
and the exposure by pennsif got me here .. and i read it and i comment ...
I think your stuff is great idea btw, it adds some democracy to the illusion that steemit is de-centralized (but it's a Larrimer - chain , right ? ..) no comment ... i read EOS in potential serious trouble atm if China chooses to do so
and more democracy is certainly needed on the blockchain that belongs to everyone (but not quite in reality) ...
I unvoted all witnesses after apocalypse 21 so im gonna add you to one of the 30 (i only vote witness from one account, which i think is crucial to getting real/realistic projections of whats actually going on ...) because this is worth it :)
Appreciate your opinion and a witness vote.
Although HF21-22 was quite rough, you shouldn't go too harsh on witnesses. They weren't sleeping the whole night, myself included. Actually it is good that the chain stopped, otherwise somebody could have almost a billion Steem Power which can be a problem. It was basically an overflow problem that Steemit devs didn't catch because it is was tricky and never happened before. Btw witnesses don't create the code for Steem blockchain but they contribute a lot in the times like this, so I totally respect the work of both witnesses and Steemit Inc devs, despite of the challenges we encounter.
