I like how he closed the discussion
"sure bud"
Like, i can't get a way out so I'll try and look cool to quit it without explain...
But isn't a witness someone who runs the node code of hive? And the software just does all? At least that's what I understood...
Even if my vote is irrelevant, I always check miss blocks when voting, if the person does project for hive and without being hypocrite, who offers more apr for hbd
A witness runs the code that keeps Hive running, but they also choose what to run. Seeing as most witnesses are not technical and just running Hive in a Box, it's kind of just people running whatever everyone else runs without a thought.
Oh so you don't even need the specific version to run... Explains why lot of witnesses have old versions, it's just a copying "you do that so I do too"
Thanks for explaining
!PIZZA
You have to run the same major version, but there are some updates that are minor or only affect full nodes and are not required for witness nodes.
