Is the shutdown of your witness due to in disagreement to the softfork? Is this your "free to leave and join another" put into practice?
Again, similarly to what I said in the comment to BT above, your actions and voice carry weight here too.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
No. I support the soft fork, I'm voting for witnesses running it, unvoting witnesses who aren't, and I think it, at least, should have been done long ago. In fact I worked to get the community behind taking firm action a year ago when Ned's 'mismanagement' of the stake was clear (an overly favorable characterization, in hindsight), only to find too many people peeling off and preferring to be opportunists (or, maybe, just naive in) trying to gain personal advantage from being first accept and support more of Ned's empty promises.
I was aware of the discussion of the fork, of course, and saw it contributing yet more workload that I'm not well positioned to take on, nor particularly interested in repeating the effort I undertook a year ago to try to accomplish some sort of healthy ecosystem realignment. I do wish the best to the witnesses taking it on now and hope they are successful.
It is going to set up some interesting discussions around the philosophy of the chain, but I think it is best to get the ducks in a row earlier, rather than later.
A little positive drama that questions fundamentals might be good for the community.
Thanks again for all you have done over the years.
