So just because he is asking publicly for anyone to know who a witness is, this means @outofthematrix doesn't care for Blurt? Really man?
His asking the question is not an issue, but the way he asks and the place. There is a discord group of witnesses where he could have asked and gotten the answer.
Because on Blockchain most people stay anonymous.
So we, the rest of the people should not have the right to know who one of our leading witnesses is, right? That is exactly what I'm understanding from your statement. @outofthematrix is a witness and he could have asked the question on Discord, but I'm not so I can't.
Yes, one should only vote a witness if he likes. If you think, you don't know his identity, and that matters just don't vote him.
But this does not mean, one can say there is something strange going on, or phishy.
This is all because of Upvu and Steem, when all witnesses decided to turn off nodes here because of steem.
But they haven't left blurt, they back with secret identities.
And if you or someone else think, it is worth loosing a witness again just because we want to know his identity . Is it fine ?
I myself don't have any issues. Also you can directly ask him, tag him or write a memo, but atleast do in a better way than just putting allegations.
