yes I never considered BitShares/Steem/Graphene with that witness system as very decentralized (I mean e.g. who even decides things like "The number of witnesses has also been reduced to 23 from 27"), but as opposed to Bitcoin Maximalists I do recognize there is a niche and demand for such approaches in order to prototype applications until better scalable (while still actually decentralized-distributed-p2p) blockchains are available.

Actually, the number of witnesses required is itself a voter selected parameter. Looks like a whale changed its voting pattern overnight. Hopefully we can get an explanation. Thom is certainly a valued long-term member.
Thanks for that info and your endorsement Stan. If you should turn up any new info please post an update here if you would please.
Take care, Namaste.
