Thank you very much for sharing this important and valuable exchange. I will re-evaluate my witnesses support. Before anyone says, who cares about my little support, I will say that in my experience ensuring you have the strongest, most stable and most reliable production environment is foundational to any successful business. Hive is a business and not just an attention seeking platform for influencers. I don't want to support something that encourages behaviour similar to what Elon Musk does.
As per @khaleelkazi
Witnessing blocks isn’t the only thing a witness should be doing
Maybe it should be. With do respect, I have learned a great deal from you and your followers when it comes to marketing and promoting a product and service. I am all for converting ideas into high quality products and services. And as a community we all want growth and good governance.
But...sometimes you have to accept the facts and not try to make it something it isn't.
If your into making anything or growing anything, a safe and reliable production system is priority one. When a system is not well it gives signs that it needs attention. Well, that starts with witness monitoring and taking action as soon as possible when a flag is drawn to your attention. For whatever reason, there was an incident and that incident was not immediately addressed. That is a huge no no and what can only be best described as a #TooFuckeh problem that needs to be solved.
I know I am a newbie here on Hive but I am not a newbie when it comes to solving problems. As a business owner, I am less likely to invest going forward into a system when I know that the most important part is being neglected.
What could be a higher priority for a witness than taking immediate action when there is an incident that causes a block failure?
