Well I am not sure there is exactly a we per se. I will give an example though.
There are many who complain about some of the old school witnesses who support Hivewatchers and downvoting spam and deciding what should be rewarded.
Those people will need to find others who agree with them, collect lots and lots of HP (if they did not collectively have enough to propel one or many of their own to top 20 witness) and collect enough power to change witness rankings/DHF proposals, etc.
I am free to gripe about any number of things on Hive, but the only real way to effect change is with HP and/or persuasion.
I myself just build HP and use it how I see fit. People are going to do what they do.
HW issue is something witnesses differ about. Also, witnesses do much more than downvoting, many of them work hard for the functionality of the chain. I want to see a robust discussion and solution-seeking arguments. We can find faults with the current top 20 but do we have their replacements ready? Replacements with the necessary skills and technicalities to keep the chain functioning.
Oh I agree with you completely. I don't really care about as many of the things that others complain about and definitely prefer witnesses that are more techy than touchy feely. I thought you were just enquiring about how to go about things.
Witnessing requires a lot of work and money and not many have the staying power to do it actually.
This is what many people who are complaining do not know! My question to them remains the same:
If we are to displace the current top 20 witnesses, who will be their replacements? I mean those who as tech-savvy and know the chain as much as the current witnesses do. Point me to them and let me verify what they have been building to deserve the top spots.
How do we change it?
Get enough hive power to effect the votes or convince enough others with enough hive power to effect the votes.
Who are those we are proffering as alternatives and what have they or can they do differently?
