The consensus mechanism of Hive is something unclear for me. This post clarifies in part my many doubts. I agree that efficiency and quality is important, and quality witnesses are needed.
In an ideal situation, we should have a high number of equally qualified quality witnesses serving the blockchain. This shows that the chain is prosperous and people are running their businesses here and have a substantial stake.
I read the comments and sense the sentiment that people seems to want more spread of the duties and rewards. Perhaps it’s something good for Hive, but only when the time is ripe.
