RE: Steemit EXCLUSIVE: Witness Tim Cliff Talks SBD & STEEM, Succeeding on Steemit, More!
Great interview, enjoyed the whole thing! I missed out on posting a possible question when you requested earlier... but if you have any further witness interviews at some later date, I'd love to get a bit of discussion on just how much conversation and decision making witnesses have amongst themselves and with Steemit Inc. and what kind of form that's been taking. We often hear of the details of hard forks being discussed and brokered with witnesses, but those conversations aren't readily available. I'm curious what most witnesses feel about the working relationship among their peers and the developers.
We talk a huge amount through private channels with both Steemit and other witnesses. I am very happy with the working relationship I have with both. The discussions can get quite heated, because the group is very passionate and everyone has strong feelings about what is best, but a lot of good ideas come out of the conversations. Reaching consensus can be quite difficult at times, but one thing that I always know is the group that I am discussing with cares deeply for the platform and wants to do whatever we can to make it a success.
Thanks so much for the insight. I’d expected as much and heard only good things on the heels of Steemfest 2, but when there’s long stretches between forks or major announcements it’s just nice to be reassured there’s a frenzy of activity beneath the surface!
