RE: Clarifying my decision not to support EOS-related posts and witnesses (100% of post rewards donated to curation initiatives)

in #steem7 years ago

I didn't really know what a witness was till now! Glad you're taking the initiative! I enjoyed reading this post! I started coding a few years back looking at shows about hackers haha! Now That I've gotten into it, I love everything about it. Very informative post! Good work :D

That's great you were able to learn something form it. In Bitcoin and many other crypto projects, miners conduct the work needed to verify the blocks. In this system, the accountholders elect witnesses to handle that, which makes it much more efficient (but not without its challenges in terms of governance).
