What about witness?

It is the second witness to be run by an independent community person, me.

The purpose is to show that

1) witness of the creator can be replaced by the community,

2) to test and verify witness-parts of the code, or just one more witness running on the network and its effects,

3) to assess social/community aspects of the process, and last but not at all the least,

4) to earn for me some fat profits. In fact, if the profits are so fat, I would gladly also share the profits of the fees with EFF, GNU, Wikipedia and other cool organizations. Right now, there has been no profit-earning and just bytes loosing as running the witness looses bytes, but oh well.

Great features! Nice developments.

Reminder for people in here, you can use my witness
7ULGTPFB72TOYA67YNGMX2Y445FSTL7O to replace JEDZYC2HMGDBIDQKG3XSTXUSHMCBK725.

Also, I run a few hubs, byteroll.com if you are in Europe, s.byteroll.com if you are in Asia, and e.byteroll.com if you are in America. You can use them without using my witness, to offload the main hub.

I looked on stat of your witness. Arround 4.5 % activity on net. Is this enough to trust?

The witness has a high up-time, but due to the nature of witness-es, I cant run it with a High-Availability configuration / automatic-failover in case when ISP/hardware fucks up, due to the small risk of accidentally having the same witness running at same time but posting different units - that is a recipe for disaster.

The stat means 4.5% of all transactions have my witness selected, 7ULGTPFB72TOYA67YNGMX2Y445FSTL7O, but to be honest, if I was you I wouldnt trust me. Not yet, trust takes time, a lot of time. But if you are willing to experiment and wish to push/see another witness than default from creator, faster. Do it!

Remember, you can always switch back or to another witness.
