That's not really what I said. My point is voting witnesses isn't about which projects you want to support. Witness rewards are not project funding.
I believe voting witnesses can be about what else they do, but the most important aspect of a witness is protecting the chain and if we vote in 20 people incapable of doing that we will be screwed.
Yeah but @whatsup has a point you made it sound like it had no value. So you communicated your message poorly.
I happen to think he switches from project to project before they can really work as well as hoped... i would love to see more focus on some of the really cool stuff he's done to get them to really powerful stage.
It has no value when it is the only reason for deciding.
I think voting a witness just to "fund a project" is a very bad idea.
5 years of various projects, none perfect, but several highly successful.
A concern for the community
Excellent project management and team building skills.
That's why I vote for him.
Don't get me wrong, I hear your point about security and understand it is important. In addition, a well rounded team with various expertise is also improtant.
Not really a team when he is never around for anything witness related. Not once.
It's actually an interesting discussion, but there are a few bare minimum requirements for sure.
"Witness Related"
Run a current witness with current version of code, keep the price feed and a few other settings current. Sign blocks.
Those are the critical "Witness Related Duties".
After that, I guess it's up to what stakeholders value.

It is all subjective and I have my own opinion. I will only vote witnesses capable of running their own witness servers and would be helpful in a time of need and are actually present.
I also don’t believe in choosing witnesses simply as a means of finding. It puts our chain at risk and all of assets.
I take choosing witnesses seriously and ability to maintain a witness and offer value when the shit hits the fan. Everything else is a bonus and respectable but to me that is the minimum acceptable value.
That’s my opinion and may not reflect what others think.
I think that is a fair set of things to value.
ask yourself WHY he doesn't talk in a place where YOU are very prevalent (and NGC used to be prevalent). Maybe he needs to suck it up... but sometimes the answer to your questions is right in the mirror.
I bet @aggroed reads those channels way more frequently than he writes.
Also he's busy actually DOING things... (or hyping things haha)
Again we can debate the efficacy of moving from one project to another before ever polishing them up... etc etc
He doesn’t participate in witness channels because I’m around? Wtf? Seriously? What kind of bullshit is that? What did I do to scare off a grown adult?
What do I have to do with NGC? No one else ran away because of that excuse.
If he reads it one day in the last 4 years that’s pretty much true.
Ok so the reason he makes a good witness in your eyes is cause he is busy doing everything but witness things? Umm, ok check.
I said "maybe" you're the reason, I also said "I bet he reads"... I'm not him, I'm not his spokesperson... I like to put myself in other people's shoes and consider what may motivate them. Just guesses.
Case in point you completely read way too far or misread into every single statement I made ... atrocious communication skills these days, but you are amazing communicator when you want to be. Just seems like you're choosing to be caustic on purpose because it's a sport for you... maybe?
On the same page... Good thing it's not the only reason. Case closed.
A few good security people on a well rounded team of people who care about the future of Hive is a must. Alone it isn't enough.
