It is really not that difficult. You just need to be familiar with the Linux command line interface and understand how to configure a Hive node. It is also important to have high quality, always up hosting and meet the system requirements.
The hardest part is gaining support. Otherwise you are upside-down on the cost of running the witness vs rewards (such as my current situation)
Yes, @bozz is awesome and have been driving support my way. Thanks for the vote!
