RE: Hive engine backup Witness discussions / earnings and looking for a more fair reward for all existing Witness as well as upcoming Witness!

I feel you and I support your initiative for a fairer, more evenly distributed reward system.

My witness node is in the last weeks living in a limbo of 21st place, sometimes even at the 20th position. The difference is significant as your table shows.

May be a sort of minimum/basic compensation for every active witness would be a good first step. Of course, with a valid definition of what active is and how much basic is !LOLZ

By the way, it is impossible to move the position on your own action. $WORKERBEE is so sparse and market is non-existent. For example, I would need to buy 1,720 $WORKERBEE to catch the witness in front of me.

Market is 31 $WORKERBEE shallow:

No way to climb up on your own. The only thing left is to beg for votes of those who have accumulated their stash in the past.

Also, votes for @eonwarp's node are wasted:

I am not saying that the voters above should vote for my node (hint) yet they should consider revoking and redistributing their votes.

My first 5 cents ...
