It's !INDEED more likely for Hive token tipping bot operators who don't have any Hive Witness node yet to participate in such joint project for a Hive Witness node, since someone who is already running a Witness node is less likely to get support for yet another node. 🤔🤓 Imagine someone running a total of 30 Hive Witness nodes, and requests votes for each of them! 🤯💸😆😅

Yep, and one individual running multiple nodes is a centralization of control, which would be very bad, so it would be unlikely to work. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

It's more appropriate for a Hive Witness node operator to host their node at a machine that they fully control for the node to be considered decentralized. 🤔🤯 There are some hosting providers which provide Hive Witness node hosting (such as #Privex) at discounted prices, though while better (or more accurately, less worse) than mainstream giant hosting providers, they are arguably not decentralized enough because multiple people on Hive (with at least some dev knowledge) host their Witness nodes there. 🤯🤓

That's part of why I won't run a witness or Hive-Engine node unless I owned and controlled the hardware. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I got confused again with the witness if Hive-Engine node on your comment there. 🤔🤯
Anyway, I wonder if you or @borniet would ever host a Hive (and/or #HiveEngine) Witness node. 🧘♂️😅

Corrected.
Bjorn already runs both a Hive-Engine and a witness node. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I have set @savvyplayer as voting proxy, which means that my Hive account automatically "copies" their Hive Witness and Hive Proposal votes. 😎 While I saw them vote for @botlord as Hive Witness some time ago, they might have forgotten to vote for the @botlord #HiveEngine Witness node too. 🤔🤯 !HOPE that this comment tagging them is enough to remind them to vote for the HE Witness too! 🤗😏

OK, well, yep, it would be good if he saw this comment then. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I noticed that @savvyplayer has already voted for @botlord as #HiveEngine Witness too, but both of us don't have any WORKERBEE for our votes to be of any weight. 🤔🤯 It's like curating with exactly zero total Hive Power !INDEED! 🤯😅

I already run both ;-) And a VSC node as well already ;-) lol
Feel free to vote, it runs under the account @botlord ;-)

I have set @savvyplayer as my proxy for voting for Hive Witness nodes and Hive Funding Proposals, and they have voted for your witness node as well as for your #HiveEngine node. 😎😏
!HOPE !INDEED !WEIRD !HUG
While @savvyplayer (which is my voting proxy) has voted for the @botlord #HiveEngine Witness node (as well as the primary layer Hive Witness node), both of us have zero WORKERBEE tokens (either liquid or staked), so we only add to the number of votes without increasing your node's ranking on the Hive Engine second-layer network. 🤔🤯😅
