Yep, a lot of truth in there. Though, the Top 20 witnesses are primarily being decided by the 2 largest stake holders on here in Freedom and Blocktrades. Those are really the only votes they need to appease... which is part of what is wrong with the whole witness voting system. It should be something like 3-5 votes per account, not 30. Makes no sense unless they want someone with the most stake to control the chain...

Oh yeah totally agree the witness system is by no means full proof at this concentrated level of stake but that can only dilute over time and through inflation which won’t happen if their is a chain port in my opinion
I think sending out the message that a blockchain can be bought by someone with deep pockets sends a worse message than rhe we can freeze your stake!
While his funds and support would be great I don’t believe in selling our ideals for money but hey that’s just me and my hate for establishments

I actually disagree. That is pretty much the name of the game with POS (DPOS) blockchains. He who has the stake makes the rules. But, we could do a lot to decentralize things by simply limiting witness votes to 3-5 per account while still being a POS (DPOS) blockchain.

When it is Freedom or Blocktrades it does. Even then, some of the OTHER votes those witnesses receive is likely happening because they are already within the top 20 and many just vote those that are already there.
how can we have better options for witnesses? I haven't adjusted mine since I joined :/
