No, but would have been funny if we met by mistake.

Thank you. Yes I know, but unfortunately I missed him by one day😅

Oh, looks like I missed you. I am behind you by one day and just arrived in Trieste today (by bicycle 😅). My goal for tomorrow will probably be Rijeka, so looks like I will be missing you again. Have

😄 see you soon!

😅 There will be more in upcoming posts (hopefully). Just by bicycle, but took a shortcut at the start and may skip a few kilometers using a ferry, so about 700km.

Stay tuned for the next posts ;) But basically coming from Austria via Italy through the Croatian coast, with a total of about 700km.

That's a nice summary, but I think it's already well known and people don't seem to care, as long as the system is running smoothly and the witnesses seem to be doing a good job about that at the moment.

Yes, we know about the issue. Again, it's quite unlikely, as nodes are split up across different data centers. For me it's not a question of pricing, as I am running dedicated servers and no cloud servers.

I understand your concerns and I agree, but there is nothing to do about it, as long as people vote for the nodes in question. However it is still very unlikely that something like this may happen, as

he only manages them or also get's the rewards?

In theory I'm running three witness nodes, but only one of them is a "real" witness (primersion). The other two (hivegifbot, robonft) are used for creating daily backups of the engine chain.

Nice, tried that too once, but was more work than I expected and abandoned it 🤣 not sure if it's worth it, but depends on what you were thinking about exactly.. I really like the one

Thanks for the vote! I would say there are two options that work out best. Try to connect with the hive community, so people know your name or even meet up with people to build up a good reputation. I'm

Hi, yes sure, I've got a few spare votes. It's nice to have witness servers spread out all over the world. Good luck for your journey as a witness! As we are on it, can you please vote for mine as well?

You can vote for up to 30 witnesses. How many you actually vote is up to you, but only the top 20 witnesses with the most votes are verifying blocks (plus one backup witness chosen randomly among all others).

Hi, witnesses basically verify blocks on the Hive blockchain, so they make sure that everything runs in order and works out smoothly. The following post is really good and pretty much sumarizes what witnesses

Thanks! Consistency is the key, so it's best to set yourself a goal on what you would like to achieve e.g. until the end of the year and if you fail, try to do better next time. Yes, my witness is already

Thank you! Not sure if I will ever be able to leave Orca territory😄 but we'll see what the future brings. You are definitely a few steps closer already. !gif whale

Good luck for your journey as a witness 🙂
