That makes sense. I don't mine bitcoin because the Antminers are 80 decibels. Was considering it when I lived in a place with no utility bills.

I don't think witnesses do much work to keep the servers going and most probably use VPS anyways. It's an issue with the integrity of the blockchain if every witness uses the same VPS so your honesty is appreciated.

Most witnesses have been here a while and contribute to the ecosystem in ways that go beyond renting or running a server. You can have one of my witness votes )
