In other words, the same key has been defined for all roles, so: `WIF_ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY` is exactly the same as `WIF_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY`.\n\n\n\nIf you believe this idea is of use and value to Steem, please vote for me as a [witness](https://steemit.com/witness-category/@gtg/witness-gtg \"witness-gtg\")\neither on [Steemit's Witnesses List](https://steemit.com/~witnesses \"Witnesses\") \nor by using your `cli_wallet` command:\n`vote_for_witness \"YOURACCOUNT\" \"gtg\" true true`",

This would not only reduce their SP daily growth it will also add selling pressure to steem, thus contributing to more people buying large amounts of steem for cheap.\n\n2.- Change the current DPOS system so that at least 38 witnesses were finding consecutive blocks. This would be only a partial solution in my opinion, it will reduce top witnesses payout but it would probably still be too much. It would also help out some backup witnesses that are having a hard time maintaining their nodes which are getting more expensive as the specs needed become more demanding. \n\nIt is weird that I have not read anything about this issue on steemit, maybe I have missed it or maybe it is because nobody wants to write controversial posts. Either way I would like to make it perfectly clear that this **IS NOT AN ATTACK ON WITNESSES OR WHALES**, it is my very humble proposal to improve SP distribution, something that would benefit the whole community.\n\n## I would love to read your thoughts on this matter?",

The 20th slot no longer rotates among the remaining witnesses, but instead among the top 20.\n * The top 21-50th witnesses get a smaller percentage, lets say 25% of rounds. This could be randomly divided among these 30 folks, so each round allocated to them would be divided among 19 of these witnesses.\n * The remaining 51-100+ witnesses would get the remaining 25% of votes (or it could be divided up even more fine-grained). The same system would be used where 19 of them will witness when this slot is allocated a round. \n * Of course there are top 100 witnesses who don't run active nodes, but a git proposal is in place to address that, by removing them from the witness queue if they've been missing blocks until they update their signing key.\n2) 90% (or some amount adjusted for the exchange value of Steem) of top 19 witness' blocks go unrewarded. Instead of getting 1300 or however many SP a day, they'd only get 130, and the rest of their blocks would give them 0 monetary reward. At current prices this would be enough for them to live off of and not have to do any other work than contribute to the Steem platform, but not cause them to overtake all active accounts in terms of vote weight.

Every minute they are in \"if\" condition.\nI like current scheme. I think it would make more sense over time.\nOf course, you are right, difference between potential earnings of top19 and backup witnesses is huge but so it is with their responsibilities.\nPlease take a look how many witnesses are really capable of running their nodes effectively.\nI'm not saying that backup witnesses have to set their feed price or take care about keeping their nodes up to date or online at all. They don't have to. That's why they shouldn't be overpaid.\n\nTaking a look at current top 100.\n47 of them (more than a half of backup witnesses) never set their feed price (some of them might not even know how to do that) or have it heavily outdated. 28 are not even able to generate blocks.\n\nYes, running a backup witness is not profitable and shouldn't be.\nYes, I'm a backup witness :-) (to those who do not know that)\n\n[Gandalf](https://steemit.com/@gtg) (\"gtg\")",

This would not only reduce their SP daily growth it will also add selling pressure to steem, thus contributing to more people buying large amounts of steem for cheap.\n\n2.- Change the current DPOS system so that at least 38 witnesses were finding consecutive blocks. This would be only a partial solution in my opinion, it will reduce top witnesses payout but it would probably still be too much. It would also help out some backup witnesses that are having a hard time maintaining their nodes which are getting more expensive as the specs needed become more demanding. \n\nIt is weird that I have not read anything about this issue on steemit, maybe I have missed it or maybe it is because nobody wants to write controversial posts. Either way I would like to make it perfectly clear that this **IS NOT AN ATTACK ON WITNESSES OR WHALES**, it is my very humble proposal to improve SP distribution, something that would benefit the whole community.\n\n## I would love to read your thoughts on this matter?",

The 20th slot no longer rotates among the remaining witnesses, but instead among the top 20.\n * The top 21-50th witnesses get a smaller percentage, lets say 25% of rounds. This could be randomly divided among these 30 folks, so each round allocated to them would be divided among 19 of these witnesses.\n * The remaining 51-100+ witnesses would get the remaining 25% of votes (or it could be divided up even more fine-grained). The same system would be used where 19 of them will witness when this slot is allocated a round. \n * Of course there are top 100 witnesses who don't run active nodes, but a git proposal is in place to address that, by removing them from the witness queue if they've been missing blocks until they update their signing key.\n2) 90% (or some amount adjusted for the exchange value of Steem) of top 19 witness' blocks go unrewarded. Instead of getting 1300 or however many SP a day, they'd only get 130, and the rest of their blocks would give them 0 monetary reward. At current prices this would be enough for them to live off of and not have to do any other work than contribute to the Steem platform, but not cause them to overtake all active accounts in terms of vote weight.

This would not only reduce their SP daily growth it will also add selling pressure to steem, thus contributing to more people buying large amounts of steem for cheap.\n\n2.- Change the current DPOS system so that at least 38 witnesses were finding consecutive blocks. This would be only a partial solution in my opinion, it will reduce top witnesses payout but it would probably still be too much. It would also help out some backup witnesses that are having a hard time maintaining their nodes which are getting more expensive as the specs needed become more demanding. \n\nIt is weird that I have not read anything about this issue on steemit, maybe I have missed it or maybe it is because nobody wants to write controversial posts. Either way I would like to make it perfectly clear that this **IS NOT AN ATTACK ON WITNESSES OR WHALES**, it is my very humble proposal to improve SP distribution, something that would benefit the whole community.\n\n## I would love to read your thoughts on this matter?",

The 20th slot no longer rotates among the remaining witnesses, but instead among the top 20.\n * The top 21-50th witnesses get a smaller percentage, lets say 25% of rounds. This could be randomly divided among these 30 folks, so each round allocated to them would be divided among 19 of these witnesses.\n * The remaining 51-100+ witnesses would get the remaining 25% of votes (or it could be divided up even more fine-grained). The same system would be used where 19 of them will witness when this slot is allocated a round. \n * Of course there are top 100 witnesses who don't run active nodes, but a git proposal is in place to address that, by removing them from the witness queue if they've been missing blocks until they update their signing key.\n2) 90% (or some amount adjusted for the exchange value of Steem) of top 19 witness' blocks go unrewarded. Instead of getting 1300 or however many SP a day, they'd only get 130, and the rest of their blocks would give them 0 monetary reward. At current prices this would be enough for them to live off of and not have to do any other work than contribute to the Steem platform, but not cause them to overtake all active accounts in terms of vote weight.

This would not only reduce their SP daily growth it will also add selling pressure to steem, thus contributing to more people buying large amounts of steem for cheap.\n\n2.- Change the current DPOS system so that at least 38 witnesses were finding consecutive blocks. This would be only a partial solution in my opinion, it will reduce top witnesses payout but it would probably still be too much. It would also help out some backup witnesses that are having a hard time maintaining their nodes which are getting more expensive as the specs needed become more demanding. \n\nIt is weird that I have not read anything about this issue on steemit, maybe I have missed it or maybe it is because nobody wants to write controversial posts. Either way I would like to make it perfectly clear that this **IS NOT AN ATTACK ON WITNESSES OR WHALES**, it is my very humble proposal to improve SP distribution, something that would benefit the whole community.\n\n## I would love to read your thoughts on this matter?",

+ "body": "I have two proposals to decrease the amount of influence top witnesses gain each day:\n1) Implement a tier system, in place of the current winner-take-all system:\n * The top 20 witnesses get a fixed percentage of rounds (let's say 50% to be generous). The 20th slot no longer rotates among the remaining witnesses, but instead among the top 20.\n * The top 21-50th witnesses get a smaller percentage, lets say 25% of rounds. This could be randomly divided among these 30 folks, so each round allocated to them would be divided among 19 of these witnesses.\n * The remaining 51-100+ witnesses would get the remaining 25% of votes (or it could be divided up even more fine-grained). The same system would be used where 19 of them will witness when this slot is allocated a round. \n * Of course there are top 100 witnesses who don't run active nodes, but a git proposal is in place to address that, by removing them from the witness queue if they've been missing blocks until they update their signing key.\n2) 90% (or some amount adjusted for the exchange value of Steem) of top 19 witness' blocks go unrewarded. Instead of getting 1300 or however many SP a day, they'd only get 130, and the rest of their blocks would give them 0 monetary reward. At current prices this would be enough for them to live off of and not have to do any other work than contribute to the Steem platform, but not cause them to overtake all active accounts in terms of vote weight. As statisticians commonly say: \"there's no such thing as a free lunch\" (TINSTAAFL).",
