I'm here long enough to know how these things work. My point was that in this situation stop powering down would be an encouraging gesture for all steemians to see. Telling people that every steem counts and at the same time powering down looks a bit hypocritical. At least for people who don't understand fully how the system works.
Those little piggies by the names look od and annoying and to be honest most of them emerged in the last two days.
People might see this as our top witnesses waiting to dump to make a profit.
