RE: jesta witness update (2018-Q3)
I think your decision to hold onto developing Vessel 2 until the structure of HF20 & SMTs is more clearer - is actually quite smart.
I've initially removed my witness vote from you, as I wasn't sure about your prioritisation towards Steem - due to Greymass and EOS in addition with being in the TOP 3 and thus quite secure rank-wise.
But what you've written here is enough for me to approve you again. Alone that you've taken the time to create your own dedicated server rack is amazing!
Making sure that the production of blocks and thus the blockchain is secured in a decentralised manner - is the most important task of a witness.
And you're doing exactly that
Yeah - completely agreed, if witnesses have one defined responsibility, it's to maintain block production at the highest levels and to keep the network secure at all costs. Everything else is icing on top of that.
With regards to Vessel 2 - I appreciate the bit of confirmation, and am glad I'm not crazy for thinking this way. It was quite the internal struggle to pick this direction, and with so much unknown coming for Steem at an unknown date, it was really hard to get motivated to go hard on it. It's one of the biggest struggles for 3rd party developers, whether it's in blockchain, gaming, or open-source in general!
