sure, as I said* you are free to sacrifice your perceived but unattainable income (unattainable for 104 weeks or so) any way you want/wish.
and yes I am fully aware that witness pay is/was outrageous (reaching millions of dollars per year at one point and a server cost of $100. $100 if you want to be over over over protected) and no one gave a shit ass about this over payment.
And no, you did not get support from the "community" to become a witness ... you got support from @theman (and his 20 friends)
But at the end of the day what really makes me mad is that smart guys like you get sucked up and taking the loss for a bad SBD design. Bad design by full of himself idiotic moron.
But then again in the pyramid realm of BM he will pay you off by being part of the clique in the next project.....
