Hey, thanks. I appreciate that. I will try and post on here more often. I have been active in other areas of Lisk, stuff I will talk about in future posts here.
Today, please let me talk about something I think is very important.
Right now Oliver is operating 101 identical genesis servers to run the Lisk mainnet
https://explorer.lisk.io/delegateMonitor
This is a necessary evil while improved Lisk code is being written (version 0.4.0) The 0.4.0 version hopefully will be stable enough after testing that Oliver will turn off the Genesis machines, forging rewards will start, and the Lisk mainnet will be start to be run by 101 community-elected DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) Active Delegates.
For now, hopeful delegates are practicing their node operating skills over on the Lisk testnet

This is an expensive way to practice. It costs all these folks (including me) money out of their own pocket to run these testnet servers, which are generating "test Lisk forging rewards" with no real value.
This is also a very frustrating way to practice. The current Lisk code is very challenging to operate. While the network endures, individual nodes must be laboriously resynchronized often with procedures that can be very time-consuming.
Many people have given up due to expense and frustration and are no longer maintaining their testnet nodes. You can see them in the list above as having red dots and / or low productivity percentages beside their names.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN THE DEDICATION (GENERALLY SPEAKING, HIGH PRODUCTIVITY PERCENTAGES BESIDE THEIR NAMES) TO CONTINUE RUNNING LISK TESTNET NODES WEEK AFTER WEEK.
THESE PEOPLE ARE WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE TODAY.
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A CHOICE FOR DPoS ACTIVE DELEGATES TO RUN THE LISK MAINNET IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME.

DELEGATED PROOF OF STAKE (DPoS) FOR LISK ONLY WORKS IF YOU VOTE.
HERE IS A LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE, AND WHY.
PLEASE GO TO THE MAINNET LISK ONLINE WALLET AT https://login.lisk.io/ AND CAST YOUR VOTE FOR YOUR CHOICE OF DPoS STANDBY DELEGATES TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE OLIVER'S GENESIS MACHINES.
THANKS!
Feel free to add my delegate "freddag" to that list.
Not sure why it was excluded.... My productivity on TestNet is higher than some of these above.
