RE: Steem Pressure #2 - toys for boys and girls
I remember when I first got my interest in Steemit witnesses. Not running one myself though, as it was something completely outside of my knowledge and skills. I noticed how quite many witnesses at least at that time seemed to have low end hardware for witnesses.
In general, I think people who try to run Steemit witness with as little as possible are not showing they care for the platform enough.
Very true. I hope that my series would help to improve the quality of various nodes across our platform, including witness nodes. There are many people around that treat witness position as a classical PoW mining: fire and forget. It's so wrong. But it's not their fault. It's ours if we vote for them.
Well I can imagine it's same with witness votes for most people: vote and forget.
Users (including me) have kept some witnesses with the votes just as long the limit of 30 votes is not full yet.
For some, it seems that's the first moment when they even consider removing some votes from other witnesses.
But thank you, I appreciate the post series already.
Luckily neither you or I need to run a full Steem node then :)
