RE: Steem Desktop Wallet = Vessel! #9
IF being a top 50 witness was that easy wouldn't everyone be doing it?? Im not sure that being a witness is about creating a future, its more helping in a present tense and helping maintain the network....
I think it takes effort, time, money and knowledge to do these things, I'm willing to support and not expect someone to pay or reward me for it.
I own a mining company... I process the blockchain for the coins we mine. Do I somehow owe the communities of the people I mine coins for some sort of reward because I am helping maintain their network?
It's a DPOS like many others. Most other coins with DPOS have pools reward for votes, for example it's very common in LISK. I guess the technical level is way higher in LSK but don't worry it will come here the more steem is known.
I have no problem with you keeping a fair share of your witness income. It's just that the situation isn't competitive enough to my taste, which reveals a lack of interest from the really knowledgeable users of blockchains.
With a vote sharing model (which will arrive) the witness are pushed to operate their nodes in the most efficient way ever to be able to propose the greatest sharing possible.
Running a witness is super easy, they are guides to follow with every single steps... you know it if you did.
Is DPOS a scam? that's the real question... full PoS like PIVX or full PoW like BTC. This DPoS is quite scammy.
