RE: Wholesale witness voting changes.
It's the latest in a long line of depressing news. (And it sure looks to me like it's another example of the top witnesses deciding things among themselves in secret meetings.)
It would be nice if some of that stuff was more out in the open. Then we could all know what's going on. I'm not sure why they would want to adopt a proposal that would benefit the largest accounts if they're really trying to help the smaller accounts. If we're going to have a middle class, we need the red fish and minnows to grow.
Kind of surprising that such votes by witnesses isn't its own blockchain operation. People voting for witnesses should I think ideally be able to extract tables like this from an RPC node with a few lines of code. The fact that this isn't the case is rather disturbing.
I'm not sure why they don't have it on the blockchain. If you noticed, Steemit set up the RC system so that they don't need witness approval to make changes. That's worrisome to me. If Steem is decentralized, why wouldn't it be something that's decided by the community?
