Summary Of The Weekend Engagement
The 19th hive-naija weekend engagement kicked off on friday (April 8th,2022) and ended on Sunday(April 10th,2022) 11:59pm (GMT+1). It was an interesting chat as we gather together for the Nineteenth week running, to gist, and chat together as a family.
The topic was "Hive Witnesses""
We had over 200+ comments. Thanks to everyone that participated and shared their opinions on the topic.
Below are some comments i found interesting after going through the engagement post.
says;
Well, witnesses are people who run a computer or node that keeps the blockchain going, they pretty much own "powerful" computers that act as a server to hive which makes it function properly.
We were taught a lot about them in the terminal discord but anyway, I won't come here bragging that I fully grasp everything about it.
I have voted for a few witnesses, not even up to 10, but I trust aliento so I will be voting for them as a witness, they totally deserve it.
I feel like witnesses are a side of hive that most people are no insight on because it isn't spoken enough about.
tells us that;
I saw a post recently about witnesses and why every hive members should at least make a vote, I just click the link via peaks front end and looked for familiar names and clicked vote.
I do not completely understand their roles on hive or how it impacts us..
Surprised they even have projects That we should look out for...hmmm interesting
Looking forward to more comments that would give me proper understanding of the whole witness concept
tells us that,
I'm not really sure of all the specifics of how witnesses work, but what I know is that the witnesses run various nodes that make up hive's server. Then whenever there is an improvement that has to be made they create proposals which we vote for . Then whenever a certain number of votes is reached the funds to implement are released from the decentralized hive fund.
Also they get rewarded in hive for running the witness nodes.
Seems I need to do some more research on what hive witnesses are?
Oh yes, and I've voted for a couple witnesses who I happen to come across their proposal.
