Hi tonych,

Please, let us known if the following reasoning is correct.

Say there are N wallets running on the byteball network at a given time.
All of them have the same list of 12 witnesses, all them being the 12 witnesses services you currently run to bootstrap the network securely.
Now, imagine that each one of those N wallets change 1 of their witnesses to another one, but that every one change to a different one (I know that is not the way it's meant to occur in practice, but this is a theoretical reasoning).  I mean, now there are N different witnesses plus the 12 you run.
After this, is it possible for any wallet to change its list of 12 witnesses, at the same time, by any subset of 12 witnesses from the N witnesses set there are now at the network (not your 12 ones)?
