What is that?
Hive runs on Nodes. Called Witness nodes.
These are all the people running nodes: https://peakd.com/witnesses
You get 30 votes for nodes. You support who you think is doing wonderful things for the Hive network.
Hope that made sence.
Oh right, so you run a witness node?
Yes indeed :)
Cool, we'll consider!
thanks, that's all I can hope for.
Khal and inleo were one of my first and still single biggest supporters.
Hive is delegated proof of stake. A witness is essentially the same thing as a validator node in the Cosmos ecosystem. Not like Masternodes where you can just stake the required amount and run your node, you have to be like a politician of sorts and campaign for votes. Hate to say it, but it's really not a true decentralized system in that way because there are only 20 full time block producers and then 1 of the reserve witnesses (below the 20th position) are rotated for that 21st signature for a block. Most of the top 20 are the old school STEEM cartel guys which are the 'whales' of the chain, and all vote for each other with their massive stakes. To quote the great George Carlin, 'It's a big club, and we aren't in it'.
