Thanks for your reply. I am asking how much of your revenue of your witness you are ready to share with your voters? Witness "pool" are in my opinion the future. And as you seem to have the technical know it could be the game changer things from steemit :).
I am not aware of existing witnesses sharing their revenue with their voters - do you know of some that do? I know some witnesses auto vote users that they support - is that what you mean? Until my witness server gets higher in the list it doesn't actually generate much Steem payout - it's the top 19 Witnesses that get high payouts.
My general intention for my witness payouts is to use them to firstly cover my costs and to secondly then use them to develop projects that generate value for the Steem eco-system. This is most likely to include software projects such as new apps for Steem and also some marketing for Steemit on other social networks, such as videos for Youtube that educate about the benefits of Steem.
Currently some of the top witnesses are the operators of the paid upvote bots, so they are making huge amounts from Steem and there would not be much chance for me or many others to match their ability to pay out votes to those who vote for them as witnesses. For this and other reasons I am more focused on creating software solutions that might balance the eco-system in a more effective way than my own upvotes ever will. More to come asap!
Interesting. I didn't check since long. You mean the top witness pay those who vote for them? that is exactly by what I meant with witness "pools".
I think that it isn't that hard to do. You can track who votes for your witness and then you "just" have to have a system to automatically share a percentage of your steem witness income.
I think there is no other ways to hope to get on top.
No, I am saying that the upvote bots that users pay money to, to vote for their posts are being operated, in some cases, by top witnesses - so it is the other way around.. these top witnesses take money from users and SELL them votes.
meaning witness pool will work and take all the places... the real problem is that it wasn't already being done, which mean that the platform only attract tech noob and low skill users...
I'm not sure what you are asking here.

I tried to find some in september when I started but let it go as I couldn't find one. But there was definitely interest from a lot of steemians.
If you can pull it, you will be first... and if well managed I think it is possible to own the 19 first spot with 19 servers :).
If you do it, please let me know, it would be a pleasure to vote for you :).

Please keep me posted about your witness project.
