Hi, I'm going around and I'm expressing the opinion that I don't wish to have control of blurt, and that is correct. I just noticed that my witness is offline. I wanted to solicit some feedback from the community, and check with you guys if you would like for me to run my witness. If I do, it is possible that my witness will go down from time to time. It is run on a desktop computer in my office.
Thank you very much
After thinking about this some more, I would like to request that everybody who has voted for my witness, remove their vote from it, and vote for @double-u
That is more in keeping with my goal of not controlling blurt in any direct fashion. Witnesses do have real and direct control over the state of the platform.
Then, hold witnesses accountable for the platform growth. Witnesses should not only express opinions about blurt, they should continually strive to expand blurt in every way possible.
This, along with much higher tx fees and a focus on higher quality content, ought to lead to better long term stability and feature development.
I would really like to vote for you for sure. I feel you can bring some of the values back that are in the blurt mission statement.
Yes!!! Your witness is more important than all others!
Edit
By the way, I'm still locked out of the Witness Channel.
My Witness is running ;-)
I have modified my post and it now directs users to vote for you instead of myself. Please advocate well for the platform, and keep in mind that the blockchain is made of people, and that megadrive is a person, that you should treat him well, even if you disagree with him.
This is where I have an issue we have a top witness that can’t access the witness channel?! How is that even possible that someone voted in by the community cannot have a say in anything? This is disgraceful. Personally I wasn’t keen on double u just powering down suddenly and dumping the price. I think it made small people suffer and was done badly but the fact an appointed witness can’t engage in witness chat because he has a different opinion on things is pretty dire!
The witness chat on Discord is not important. Everyone has access to Blurt and as a witness anyone can share their opinions here.
If I remember correctly Double-U doesn't like discord and always advocated for on-chain discussions. I started writing more on-chain because of him.
P.S: @ultravioletmag you would be surprised to know that Double-u is in the witness discord.
that's definitely not true.
It is only as important as any other witness, that's the design.
Yes, but most users hope that you come back to Blurt effectively.
Otherwise, there will be a dying here.
Sooo many power downs right now even from big accounts.
You can stop this!
it has slowed down considerably.
I think a lot are powering down and watching. I know I just don’t feel safe having everything powered up right now and at least want half accessible if crazy news comes out again so I can sell and rebuy. I feel certain actions could make it zoom and any more freezing or anything it’ll probably hit 0 like a stone.
I have no desire whatsoever to tell people what to do with their blurt. Instead, I will be permanently abdicating from the witness role and instructing users to vote for you.
But you can be here to uphold the ideals of decentralisation. Unfortunately that is needed it seems.
On Blurt, right now, are you hot air or slash? Or neither?
@blurtlive is also missing blocks when someone check his witness list Remove their vote
at 26 ;)
hehehe
Come back sir Community need your Support
I have decided that the best possible choice here is to leave my witness down permanently, and instruct users to vote for @double-u.
He does not always agree with megadrive, and if he learns to manage these disagreements productively, he will bring great things to blurt.
The first thing that both of them need to stop doing is making somewhat hysterical claims about one another.
@double-u please propose the great things you can bring to Blurt, if the ideas are good I would be happy to help you make then happen.
Table talk is best way i think .
but your activation give us good motivation ;)
When you see the roof of your house coming tumbling down on you, that's a good motivation to start running. What GOOD motivation do you see here?
What you have problem to me ?
I have no problem with you! Language barrier here, sorry for interfering.
:)
Can you provide an example of the great things you think he will bring to Blurt?
Activity, Community, a stick together to grow together.
Instead of punishing others, to play with fears of others, with the withdrawal of the accounts threaten like you DID and still do !!!
He m,ade more Activity on this chain as you do, he is a diffrent kind of Leader, You need to see there is more than only a new DAPP or something...
See this Community we started to bring Streamers on this Plattform, till the moment you decided to Stop the Witness Votes to us so we wasnt able to support much anymore, You dropped the Votes to the BLURTLIVE Witness without Reason without any left a word , only because i was a Active member in his PUB, so now tell me what you have really DONE for BLURT???
in my Oopinion is it you which made all this crashes happen it was YOUR Decision and in here i cant see a positive way you want to go, you hopped in this POST to show instantly you arent agree with the Decision of Jacob!
So i think he will do a lot of good things for the BLURT Plattform, you should start thinking out of your small BOX !!!!
When he has done for blurt is probably thousands of hours of work, completely independent of myself, making sure that the platform actually runs. I don't want anybody to ever lose sight of that. It's real.
we never said he didnt done things, but he did a lot of foolish activities and selfish ones as well... thats a diffrence
hehe yes that´s right 100%
But maybe he will take this someday in account when running again against all other who will change things for the better ;)
I think this is great.
I always wanted to run my own witness and keep it public... not just on a desk but something you can see from a window if one were to visit. A PUBlic Witness room or shop or mainstreet busines. I dont like (or understand) anonymity when it comes to PUBlic Ledger systems and I think some deviant dorks are absolutely WRECKING the other chains by being basically cowards who run extortion os from their quaint little witness boxes running in a closet... and get revered as witnesses.
Eventually I think TOP witnesses will be PUBlic and anonymity is for losers...
I wrote a book on STEEM and PUBlished my HOME address and Phone Number on IT. I believed in my work. Witnesses should be similar... run by people who give a shit and are prepared to open the door to the PUBlic.
I agree so much hiding behind cartoon character profiles and fake names on these sites, across the board.
it's too easy to spoof "identification"
#trudat
what is the perceived utility of this ?
especially when all the "evidence" you can present is easily faked ?
