Omoor, I would have missed this whole episode.. I guess I might need to fine oga @samostically for not tagging me in..😞

Same thing here, I was always confused by what hive witness mean. Even some oldies that I asked from didn't give me an understandable answer. It was until recently when psyberx posted that they've now got a witness - psyberx.witness - and wanted people to vote for them. I read the post and asked the question of what a witness was really and they gave a simpler answer.

Witnesses protect the blockchain and keep it going..

So, long story short, I voted for psyberx.witness and enginewitty cos the former recommended the latter. That makes two witnesses I have voted in my entire Hive life.
