RE: What the fuck do witnesses do?

I really need to update my witness votes. My selections were based on their past history, and my opinion of their integrity, intelligence, and composure.

Totally agree that producing blocks is number one priority.

Can't stand witnesses blabbing offensive manner of opinions and politics. We already pay them to work, and trust them for governance, and hope they will cooperate smoothly in communications. If I think any of them represent a minority controversial, disruptive opinions different from mine, I consider removing my vote, and perhaps even noting for the future why I will never vote for them again.

Let the developers and content creators promote the potential of Hive, and let witnesses keep it operational. If they want to do both, keep those roles mutually exclusive. We have other ways of supporting and rewarding developers and content.

If a developer wants to be paid as a witness, they need to prioritize there witness role above all else, or else get off the list. They won't earn my vote if the block is stalling when it's their turn.

Developers who want to be paid more... please don't bother the witnesses with that. It just makes you look greedy and lacking grace by attacking them for earning more.
