RE: Witness Earnings Monthly Report - October 2023

In a nutshell, here is some of the benefits of running a witness server include:

more understanding of how Hive works on a technical aspect
important contribution to the community by participating in signing transactions and holding a copy of the blockchain
have the opportunity to have a say in the decision on what rules are getting implemented in the blockchain
if you receive enough witness votes you can start earning enough to pay off your server rental and maybe even make profit

To run a witness:

you need to have some technical skills or partner with someone who have them
rent a server or purchase one and make sure it will have 24/7 stable internet access
compile, install, run and maintain the HIVE blockchain app
starting a witness vote gathering campaign
- you only get paid if you sign blocks
- you only get blocks to sign if you have received some witness blocks
- the more witness votes you have received the more blocks you get to sign
