RE: Witness voting and the security of the chain.
I really do agree that lowering the number of votes is crucial; it prevents one bad actor from being able to swamp the top 20. However... this also runs the risk of leaving some witnesses without votes entirely while also leaving the other witnesses running a popularity contest. I think you're on to something with the idea of weighted votes.
Glad this was shared on #pypt
It also provides opportunity for other witness to move up, many do not vote for ant of the top 20. and their voice is never heard
