Gotcha! You have some misunderstandings
Let me help you clarify it.
- witnesses are block producers
- witnesses are decided by users/investors
- decisions for platforms are made by Proposals
- proposals are approved or rejected by users/investors
Witnesses don’t do decisions. Witnesses are NOT board of directors. In fact, witnesses are just puppets for investors - e.g. fervi for ctime.
I hope that helps you to get clear picture.
you get to vote on important issues though no? like you all cast a vote if fervi was allowed in a private witness group and are all in a private group no?
Imagine you have a private chat group with your friends & in that I am not allowed.
There could be a private chat group run by ctime, fervi, lucylin, mmmkkkk & in that I am not allowed.
So, witness-private is just similar to that.
Okay. I agree
witness-privatename is confusing.But it is not witness private group - e.g. fervi being in top-5 witness, doesn’t mean that he become part of that chat group.
Read Witness-private as a chat group for - users/investors who are aligned, who are on same page.
The moment someone misbehaves & in not alignments with all other, he/she gets kicked out of that channel.
You can flip the whole table.
E.g. assume you invest $1,000,000 in blurt.
Now you select the witnesses to vote,
You can have your own discord server, start witness private channel there & don’t invite me or anyone else, only add those who are aligning to your thought processes.
Did it help?
He was part of that chat group but because he shared something from it he was kicked out and the top twenty witnesses got to vote if he got back in or not. Your denying to me top 20 witnesses vote on things? I mean I know two and they have anyways
Why do you want to be witness? Let’s ask that your asking for votes so why do you want to be if it means nothing to you but extra money?
I’ve accepted your belief it’s ok but you don’t seem to be able to accept my free will to not vote for anyone as witness who’s a witness in another platform lol. Are we not allowed to vote for who we like?
now supposing someones vote was influenced by something fervi did on another platform someone was witness of , it all gets messy ... to me at least. I stand by my personal decision that doesn't mean everyone else should do the same.
