I am running v.22.5 that doesn't mean I support centralization of steem blockchain.
I'm running a witness servers now for the last 3 years. Never been closed to Top 20 because I don't have whale friends and influential people that back me up. That's ok, it's fun to be independent witness.
All my SP are came from hard-earned money. I paid my witness servers out of pocket to continue to support the community I know for the last 3-4 years and still counting.
Open mind is what needed right now. We have good people left and new breed will come even better.
Thank you,
@Yehey
P.S.
I need to upvote my comment, because a former arrogant witness is on my tail downvoting. He's not ready to move on. I thought he's happy to the other side :).
Thanks for engaging. I'll reconsider once we move on past the sourness of HF22.0 - H22.5. Appreciate your position, but I just can't bring myself to vote for H22.5 - even though my position is largely symbolic. Feel free to remind me once we're onto a different HF number.
No worries, that's the advantage of freedom.
