Short and consumable write-up, hopefully it'll get people starting to think about witnesses and who they should vote for. One comment:
Some of these steps are optional (e.g. the seed, the price feed)
The price feed really isn't an optional step for the top 19, it's more of a requirement. It's "optional" for those outside of the 19, but not running one may prevent whales from casting a witness vote for a candidate.
Updated to clarify that. Thanks for the suggestion!
@jesta K hope you can simplify witness is for newbie like me too. So complex a term is but interesting
