A Top 20 Witness Going To Shut Down The Hive Node And What It Means

There are many busy communities like hive cuba and hive Sucre that will gladly take the spot. That said I hope there are more nodes coming from Africa

Yeah man, they had a great project with the whole Wordpress connection thing then just let it die. I wish I had the resources and the know how to take over that WP relay because it was such a useful tool for people to connect their home blogs with Hive. But yeah, they just abandoned it and kept reaping those witness rewards. Glad they are shutting down. I think I quit supporting them a while back when the plugin stopped working.

I’ve already voted for your new node, I can’t think of many content creators who have put as much thought into hive and you are an interesting crew.

I vote for the people who I think try to empathize with different perspectives but put the integrity of the chain first. I think the best governance anywhere will be a combination of people with different perspectives who do their best to understand the other perspectives. Techies get a little more clout here but that’s because the nature of the community. We are built on a blockchain that requires technical know how and that’s fine, as long as they try to understand the rest of us and there is meaningful communication between techies and non techies happening

it's probably a good thing like mentioned below. Steempress was a great plugin for wordpress I DL for my WP but it was too late and never maintained. Them leaving means it provides active people contributing to Hive the ability to earn and manage projects.

Keep the block chain running...

Change is good, @howo did spin up their own witness and being an active dev who works on things like RC delegations and communities is probably worth looking into voting for again.

I second the dedication to hive stuff, I mean,there are many witnesses up in to top 50 who don't really do much if anything these days for hive but it is how it is. they are in fact slowly falling losing their ranks especially as new people come in and show people how to really support hive etc.

Governance is still a slow.. lazy thing that most people either don't know of or simply don't care, that too is slowly changing.. very slowly changing. It's difficult to change people mentalities and actually make them take control and give a damn.
