I am a volunteer to set up and run a witness. Would you replace one of your witnesses by mine in the default list at least until we get some well reputed "captain of industry" to replace me ?
That means : are you socialy ready to start release hands on witnesses ?
Nice to hear.
There is now a fresh new witness just started at byteball.fr and posting :

Imo, witnesses need a way to advertise themselves in the DAG, such that users have an easy way to identify them using the byteball explorer and decide if we can trust them.
Agreed. Also, in the wallet witness list, a human readable label (the device name on the network for example) complementary to the cryptic witness address would help end user to identify witnesses he relies on.
