So it is called a witness on this blockchain and i find it troubling that this answer wasn't come to earlier. I did enough searching to run across it on YouTube of all places. Likely because current witnesses have to do a TON of work to get enough votes to get on top. They probably don't want the competition. Either way, you need to put a lot of time in as an expert/SME to get the required votes to make it to the top of the Witness list.

Owh lol I will try again after a few years. Thanks for the info anyway :)
