Yep. And there are people who are willing and able to run at higher costs also. Even at 1 cent, the pool with a value of 8000 dollars would push 800 to witnesses or about 3000 a month.
There are other considerations, but as long as one witness is running, the chain lives - though it might not perform well :)
Ok. What you're saying is good news.
How much do you pay for a witness server at the moment?
less than 50 a month
That's cheap as F. :)
When it's that cheap, the chain will never stop. Development may at least at Steemit, Inc. But the chain will always run.
