Personally speaking, no. Hive-Engine is not a blockchain, nor is it decentralized.

The value it brings to the chain is great, though. We all use it daily in some way, shape or form, from tribes to games to NFT's. So in that sense I would like it to become decentralized and a blockchain.

One thing yabapmatt, aggy and crew may not understand. They can call it decentralized and a blockchain all they want, and it can even be these things. But if the common user doesn't think it's those things then functionally it's not those things to that person.

I do have to ask though, witnesses get paid to run nodes, Bitcoin miners get paid to mine blocks. What would someone running a Hive-Engine node get as compensation for computing power?
