RE: Why The Worker Proposals By @blocktrades Are Bad: A Viable Solution Instead
That could be done although that proposal is not on the table.
Ned brought up a point the other day about the Witnesses. He took it from the security perspective although I see two problems.
A) there are already many of the lower ranked witnesses who are not making money with their node. It is a losing proposition and cutting their return could cause more to close down.
B) this was Ned's point. You want the witnesses making a lot of money to secure them from being bribed or taking outside money. This makes sense. If someone is borderline, they are open to be corrupted. Not a 100% level of protection but it is a barrier.
Corrupt people are going to be corrupted regardless of if they are making money. Im ok with witnesses making a little less money along with everyone else.
I also dont see the deal with a few witnesses shutting down who arent making money. New witnesses will always come along and take their place.

Yeah, we are break even at the moment with not a lot of hardware. I suspect any cuts will likely rule out profit (near term at least) for pretty much all witnesses outside the top 50. It's top 20 or not a lot at present.
