Yeah, the present system doesn't really give much incentive to actually allocate the time, energy, and resources to set up run a node, since if a node is not in the top 20, it gets peanuts, if even that. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

They say that the stakes are very high to become (and remain) one of the Top 20 Hive Witnesses, such that those at the top need to run more than one witness node at the same time (to avoid missed blocks and therefore missed earnings and more "miss" permanent record). 🤔💸🤯🤓

Yipes, that sounds like quite an investment. This is why I run a Qortal node and not a Hive witness, since everyone at a particular level gets the same daily rewards. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Imagine Hive's Witness system where there are no "Top Witnesses", only that the percentage of votes (in terms of total Hive Power) each Witness node has compared to the total votes across all Witnesses determines its chance of producing the next block. 🤔 That might open a "can of worms" !INDEED! 🤯🤣
