I tried to find some in september when I started but let it go as I couldn't find one. But there was definitely interest from a lot of steemians.
If you can pull it, you will be first... and if well managed I think it is possible to own the 19 first spot with 19 servers :).
If you do it, please let me know, it would be a pleasure to vote for you :).
Currently some of the top witnesses are the operators of the paid upvote bots, so they are making huge amounts from Steem and there would not be much chance for me or many others to match their ability to pay out votes to those who vote for them as witnesses. For this and other reasons I am more focused on creating software solutions that might balance the eco-system in a more effective way than my own upvotes ever will. More to come asap!
No, I am saying that the upvote bots that users pay money to, to vote for their posts are being operated, in some cases, by top witnesses - so it is the other way around.. these top witnesses take money from users and SELL them votes.
