I replied to Elon's tweet about Bitcoin using so much energy, asking if Tesla would be interested in becoming a witness in the Obyte network. Chances are near zero he even reads it, but still better then nothing.
Maybe the "green" aspect of Obyte coud get a little more emphasis in the marketing...
Do you really want this manipulator to be on board?
lol please never use Elon to manipulate and promote Obyte like he did with Doge. The whole doge thing has been really cancerous, especially on Reddit and Twitter
I really think this is a good project and the merits of the project will speak for itself
It's up to the community and Order Providers (Witnesses) to decide. Anybody can put up their candidacy, community can signal the Order Providers (by changing their OP list) who they want to replace and if they do it coordinated way (that they all replace the same old OP with same new OP) then it's only Order Providers, who have the last say and they have pledged to change their list when better candidate comes around.
I understand that although witnesses don’t get to decide about acceptance or non-acceptance of individual transactions and the sole criterion for their acceptance is their validity according to protocol rules, witnesses still have to make decisions about changing their own witness lists, and I pledge to make changes to my witness list only as I feel is best for the Byteball network, only when I’m confident that the new witness properly understands the role of a witness and is going to follow the same rules while being in some way better than the witness being removed from the list.
I understand that I may lose trust of Byteball community in the future or just better (than me) witness candidates may come along who have, for example, more to lose in case of misbehavior, or are better known or more trusted by the community, and if I feel that it is the case, I pledge to voluntarily remove my address from my witness list and publicly support a better candidate.
