RE: A Few Thoughts About A Potential Witness Crisis We May Hit At Some Point

in #steemit6 years ago

I do think that it would be more troubles some if some of the witnesses who are running full nodes, will pull the plug. Maybe resulting into a scenario in which there are not enough full node witnesses left to sing all the blocks.
What would happen in that scenario?

Full nodes are not signing blocks (or if they do, they shouldn't keep on the same instance a full node and a witness node). Only witness nodes are signing blocks and a scenario in which there aren't enough of these to sign blocks will be highly unlikely. But if it will happen, I guess it will segway into number 3 above.

Thanks for the explanation!
