RE: Dear Top 20 Steem Witnesses, Why are you powering down ?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
First, It really needs to be understood that Witnesses are rewarded in SP for producing blocks. Most need to power down a small amount consistently to pay for servers and expense of actually running a witness node.
You should know this as you ran one, so to not at least explain this in the post I find a bit frustrating.
Most of the witnesses you mentioned have done this consistently and attempting to alude it’s the sky falling a concerning.
Also, It’s not shocking that many investors (which many witnesses are) would respond to an announcement like Tron put out in a defensive way. The communication coming out was not at all reassuring for anyone holding STEEM imo.
While communication has opened up, many of those mixed messages are still out there. Perhaps they just want to protect their investment if it comes to that.
Hopefully the consensus witnesses will put out a statement in the future, but I think communication has been pretty good from their end on the acquisition matters so far.
I think posts as this made by @bitrocker2020 is important at least to gather such informative comments like yours. It is well educating.

thanks for stating your views on this, i guess having a clear communication is best and as part of the community, i really wanted to know and not just assume however it would really strengthen the consensus witness position they do put out a statement for future communication like what you've suggested. I do know some are already doing it, however there are a few which does not engage with the community. Cheers and have a great day
