I wasn't able to quickly find any info on your official website or blog any info about using golos.io.
Adding such info in a visible place would help users to quickly verify that your golos account is legitimate.

The classic question comes:
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The monopoly or the apathy?
(To be honest I'm not really up to date with stake distribution on Golos)

From my point of view (mostly as an external observer, because my role as runner-up witness is negligible) the biggest issue I've experienced here is the apathy among parties that I would expect to be the most engaged.

I can see in many comments that people are mixing role of the witnesses and the role of stakeholders. Witnesses are (or should be) the servants of the platform rewarded for ensuring security and stability. Stakeholders chose their delegates voting them in with their stake and expecting to represent their very best interest on the platform.
Of course sometimes same entity share those two roles but in the end it is up to stakeholders to decide about the future of the platform as they are ones who have most to lose and most to win.

As someone who is 100% engaged and devoted to the Steem platform I still look forward for Golos to find its own way in the world of decentralized blockchain based social media platforms.
We can learn from each other share achievements that are best in our realms to continue our improvements despite a lot of differences and struggles.

Good luck!

Well.. it's all about the perception.
n2 can be perceived as rich will become richer
but I would rather think about it - it's worth to get bigger, do it!

Greed itself wouldn't be that bad. Healthy greediness means: lets together make this platform awesome so we will become rich.
(aka Generous and Greedy in Prisoner’s Dilemma)

Greed of a few + apathy of the rest is a dangerous mixture.

Pure awesomeness! :-)

That's not me.

From the blockchain perspective it's actually earlier (i.e. pre HF16) not later ;-)

Also, due to nature of this platform, there are no "they", it is us.

Writing tests to cover all operation for such complex platform is not an easy taks to do. Biggest corporation are struggling with it too.

Out of curiosity,
With such a big stake, you are a big player in this realm. Are you going to run something more than just delegated GP service?

Oh, familiar faces :-)

I'm disappointed with another delay, but as always it is "Better safe than sorry". Good luck.

I've just reviewed my list, there was one dead witness.
Thanks for notification, I wasn't aware.
I'm checking my list from time to time, accordingly to my position.

I wonder, how many witnesses have their seed nodes up and running. Taking this into account might result in a very short list of approved witnesses ;-)

reasons are purely technical (you need to perform an operation by yourself) but it has also some positive psychological side effects. It lets you appreciate some more rewards you are getting (instead of silently, behind the scenes, being added to your СИЛА ГОЛОСА).

At first thought it seems like a good feature, but it might be not that good.
Currently, everyone can be a runner-up witness by using their own stake to vote on themselves. Even if it means that they would get a slot once per a long, long time, it is still possible (by powering up enough to change it to some non-negligible amount, to generate a block once per month).
While downvoting (counter-upvotes) posts/comments prevents some users to get rewards it does not prevent them to post on the blockchain. Counter-approvals would prevent from generating blocks, i.e. participating in DPoS which undermine censortship resistance at least in very theoretical way.

As far as I can see his witness post and his stats looks convincing. Approved. Thank you for suggestion.

Well, better this than the other way around ;-)
