Little things are important.
Since I joined Blurt I thought I could put off voting for the witnesses until later. But these are the people who are producing bricks in the block chain.
The blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called Delegated Proof of Stake, or DPOS.
Proof of Stake isn't about mining, it's about validating. But somebody's got to create the next block. It's got to be random or it is not a decentralized platform.
Blockchain Witnesses are expected to keep a node running every second of every day. Most Witnesses actively engage in the Community and that's why they are voted.
A witness needs to run a reliable node, produce bricks and make consensus in a fork.
It's important that we support witnesses that are contributing to the community. You will know them because they are active and doing more than dumping Blurt.
Bottom line it's our responsibility on Blurt to support vote witnesses.
