So where to start ...
I raised in the ranks that is always good news , but why did i raise in the ranks ?
After the hardfork November 19th it was showing that people didn't upgrade their witness , lack of time or lack of intrest .
Some people might think that the updates are automaticly done , but ... no it needs to be done manually.
If you go to https://primersion.com/witnesses you will see this :
and type in your name without loging in , it will show you the witnesses you have voted for in my case this :
But it could also show something like this :
A gentle warning that you vote for inactive witness servers , in the last block column you can see when that witness created his last block , and in the version column it shows if the witness is running on the latest hardfork or not.
So because of people keeping an eye on their witness votes , they removed their votes from inactive witnesses , so that the inactive witness would drop places in the list , that was one way for me to gain my place in the ranks .
The other way was people that removed their vote from inactive witnesses and placed it on my witness , that was a win win for me :)
But if you look at this link : https://hive.arcange.eu/witnesses/
you see this :
All grey lines are inactive witness servers , some haven't completed a block for almost a year and are still voted for , some have even been inactive for a longer time then that.
Now we do have a hive power up day once every month , why not make a hive check your witness votes day to avoid that all these votes get lost.
Well that even got my cat thinking ...
So how big does a witness server need to be , well not that big at all you see that black box between my keyboard and my monitor , that is my witness server.
O , well i'll just keep curating manually , and keep hoping that people will actually check on their witness votes , and if they have spare votes i can only hope they vote for me .
I would love to reach the top 50 some how , still a long way to go .
and no you don't get rich from running a witness , you can see the earnings here : https://primersion.com/earnings
Mean while i'll just keep posting my photography and keep curating what other people post .
