Heh, the Leofinance witness is disabled after a week of missing blocks.
All it needed was a little push:
BTW reviewing your #witness and #proposals votes every few months is more than advisable.

This post by themarkymark has been the talk of the town, it's reached our community too and I need to read it to understand it better too.
In a nutshell, witnesses have certain responsibility delegated to them by the community, hence "Delegated Proof of Stake."
The keen responsibility is to ensure block production. What happens with a blockchain which blocks are not mined (produced in case of Hive)?
It's a complicated situation really, if the witnesses are failing to produce the blocks, it doesn't make sense for her to be active at all.
Indeed.
