some witnesses are running version 0.22.4444 as "protest". 4444 means death in china, so it's childish and disrespectful, no matter how angry you are. In my opinion.

Hi @ash. FYI: https://steempeak.com/witness-category/@timcliff/witness-update-changing-version-number-to-22-1
great, will vote for you later! :)
Yes correct, 4444 is death!
Is it fact the 4444 in this instance is to be taken as death? 4444 can mean a lot of other things, depending on who you ask, and where they're from.
The number 4 (四, pinyin: sì; Cantonese Yale: sei) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死 pinyin: sǐ; Cantonese Yale: séi).

4 to the Chinese is like the number 13 is to Europe and the U.S.
Most hotels don't have a 4th floor etc.
