"It is simply not necessary to have the same levels of reliability and individual witness level redundancy in a properly decentralised system as it is in a centralised system."

i dunno anything about servers so i can't say much, but i was surprised by comments basically saying only steemit inc is capable of running it. i'm so happy you're part of this community and is actively looking for answers.

on a different note, i'd like to hear your opinions on this https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitdev/upcoming-changes-to-api-steemit-com cuz i feel like steemit inc is about to cause even more confusion than it already has.
