RE: What the fuck do witnesses do?
Yeah... but no. There are a few "details" that are different between these two cases:
- You admitted that you made a mistake.
- You say you’ve learned your lesson.
- I don’t recall you blaming me or other witnesses for it.
- Nor did you complain that it’s crazy you’re not in the top 20 while missing blocks at the same time.
- Maybe it’s hard for you to believe, but you weren’t missing blocks for that long.
- You resumed your block production a full day quicker than they even cared to stop missing blocks.
While it's not cool to miss blocks, you are not even in top50 and nobody expects you to run full blown witness infrastructure with monitoring, backups, public seed node, etc.

Someone told me before that mistakes are important to grow our expertise about something! We just need to accept them and use them as a growth factor!
These last events and this post, including the comments, will help also our community (voters) to learn better what they need to search in a witness. You guys on the top 20 are signing blocks every minute or less, while other witnesses like me are signing 1 or 2 blocks maximum a day. That's a big responsibility indeed and just because a person is cooler than the other it doesn't mean that he is ready to wear a hat signing this amount of blocks a day.
