Hey Bernie,
I might not be happy with the full top 20 list... But who (in your view / opinion) does do a good job around here (as a witness)?

If you don't know this answer yourself, take time and find out. In the meantime, find someone you trust that does and proxy your witness vote to them until you do.
It impossible to get an unbiased response to that question but as @nonameslefttouse says, it's a good question.

Of course, the point is, the witness thinks he's a lord. He is chosen to represent the voters. But they don't know or want to use it, believing that they are the most important group that has been called to rule.
This has to change.

Nothing specifically that wasn't done directly by @yabapmatt. Aggroed is very good at positioning himself in front of the cameras and the spotlight to act as the face of Steem or the various projects that are all lead and developed by other people.
@yabapmatt has done the lion's share of the work in their "partnership"
Aggroed rarely participates in steemit slack unless he is dropping a post to his radio show.

Put me in the top-20 and I’ll run a couple full nodes and continue building the BROsino and its multiplayer poker companion site about to launch within the next day or two...plus the rest of the BRO Sports & Gaming NetworkTM apps/sites currently in development.
It would be great to get some of that support that currently goes to scams and scammers like Magic Dice/Dmania/zombee or all of these “curation projects” that do practically nothing for Steem other than placate a few bloggers in our little bubble here.
We just continue building for the mainstream and aren’t ponzi-scamming people or promising a bunch of worthless shittokens for playing our ponzi-scam games. I guess that’s not good enough for Steem users. And everyone wonders why legit users/devs rarely stick around and why investors are pretty much nowhere to be found.

Never manages their own witness so, IMO, should not have a witness server. The witness servers shouldn't be intended for funding companies. They should be intended for securing the chain production.
Not sure who is currently running the witness.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Not sure what to say, Curie is kind of organization and not one man - I've been part of curie for over 1.5 years, and few months ago I started operating their/our server.
I have been running my own witness for 7 months now, without any glitches, nor missed blocks - and I have fairly knowledge in computational data science (not that much into developing) but can pretty much grasp the codes.
Also it is worth noting that curie's goal is to redistribute all witness earnings back to active steem authors/users, through various donations/contests and curation.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Some people think a witness should fund a business or project and others think it should fund chain security and stop there.
I don't think witness funds need to be given back to people. They are earned by the user securing the chain.
No offense intended with the comment. Curie is a decent service from what I hear, as a non author.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

lol that is not true. Curie witness operators have always been within Curie. I don't know what makes you think "should not have a witness server", but Curie has been more than capable of running a witness. @svemirac has been doing an amazing job as a witness operator. Moreover, Curie is a community witness.
May I ask why commented under everybody, except for ocd-witness? I think both Curie and Ocd have done and still doing amazing service for the Steem community.
I like your SteemDevs channel. I was going to run an idea by you, moving SteemDev beyond discord. Creating an educational platform for those who want to learn coding on Steem. Something like this - https://emkc.org

I was on mobile and the page load is very bad so I eventually quit. Didn't ignore anyone intentionally. Will go comment on the others I missed.
I am not saying anything negative regarding the user operating the witness server, in fact they are the ones that should be getting the gross pay, in my opinion.
If curie and svemirac switched positions it would make more sense to me, as a developer/programmer.

A large portion of my time lately is spent working with Steem Engine, actively developing the behemoth of a project that is Cryptotoken Converter - a fully open source cryptocurrency gateway, faciliating deposits/withdrawals and conversions between a multitude of coins.
I did make a post about this just 2 months ago, covering a lot of the work I've been doing behind the scenes https://steemit.com/witness-category/@someguy123/witness-update-primary-witness-now-in-sweden-steemengine-development
Thanks to the work of myself, @yabapmatt, @harpagon, @aggroed and several others, it's now possible to send foreign cryptos such as Bitcoin and Litecoin to anyone on the STEEM network - transaction fee free and in seconds, as well as exchange them on the SteemEngine DEX with zero trading fees.
I've also been experimenting with MIRA, and I've made updates to my Steem-in-a-box project to support it, allowing a wider audience to test it out and help discover any potential issues with the new updates. (announced it first in steem.chat #witness - post coming soon).
There's also general maintenance of existing projects such as https://anon.steem.network (something which even you use, as anyone can find out by looking at the public incoming STEEM transfers), https://www.steem.center and https://value.steem.network
A lot of Steem contributions take place at my company @privex :
I'm well aware of the fact that I don't post updates to Steemit as much as some other witnesses do, but that doesn't negate the amount of work I do for the community and network.

See this one is really strange to me. Blocktrades helped do some stuff in the beginning with Steem and made a huge pile of tokens. Now he is being paid directly from steemit for something, not sure what.
And his team made the SPS system for $50-100k, whatever he quoted, yet steemit doesn't want to work with pretty much any other developers.
Blocktrades is there because he is in the old boy fanclub.
With all that said, the exchange he runs is useful, just not sure we need his company also siphoning from inflation.
He does participate in steemit slack.

Hi Bernie. Believe it or not, I do appreciate / enjoy it when you start these discussions. It is an important topic that we need to keep talking about, and you are one of the main people who can actually get a good conversation going on the subject.
I'm not going to try and make the case that I'm doing "enough". I would agree with the sentiment that I should be doing more, and I feel the same about most of the other top 20. I will at least make the case that I'm doing something though. It is up to the voters to decide if my work is worth their vote, or if there are others who are doing a better job and are more deserving of it.
I actually am in the camp that would love to see more new witnesses come along who do more than the people currently in the top and work their way up. I recognize that it is not easy to do, but there are many people (myself included) who are in the top 20 today because they have done just that. If the bar is low, then hopefully that encourages others to step up.
Before I go into what I have been up to though, I do want to talk a little bit about the time commitment involved. I'm by no means trying to make excuses for a lack of accomplishments, but there is only so much a person can do with the time they have. I did take a risk a year back and tried to support my family by doing Steem witness full time. I accomplished a lot during that time (including the development of a few changes that made it into the last hardfork), but unfortunately the price went below a level where I could continue to do that long term. I am now back to having to balance my Steem time with a "real job" as well as still spending some time with my family. With 24 hours in a day and multiple things I need to balance my time between, I am not going to be able to do Steem 100% of the time. Again, I'm not trying to make excuses - I am just being honest about what I am realistically able to give to the project.
Despite not having 40 hours a week to devote to Steem though, I do still try to do what I can with my time to improve things to the best of my ability.
I don't really have a good solution to your problem, as I see things continuing very much as they are today.. One thing that could help would be if enough of the larger stakeholders started communicating what their criteria are for voting on witnesses, and then updated their votes accordingly. If becoming (and remaining) a top 20 required witnesses to live up to certain criteria, then hopefully we would see more witnesses strive to meet that criteria. You would need at least 20 witnesses willing to do enough to make it in in order for it to work though - not sure if it is possible to motivate 20+ people to put in a large enough effort with the current STEEM price.
I am also hopeful that the "Steem Proposal System" that is part of the next proposed hardfork can help to incentivize more innovation and improvements. In it's current form, it will have an inflation budget equal to the current combined witness pay across all the witnesses. It remains to be seen whether it will just turn into another tool for people to exploit or something that actually generates value, but the potential for it to work will be there. I am hoping we see better accountability in terms of whether we are getting enough "bang for our buck" than we do with the current witness voting system.

That's fair. I do do other stuff too. I should probably do a better job at "selling myself" as a lot of things are done behind the scenes and people don't really see the impacts. Again, I'm not going to try make the case that I am doing "enough" - I agree, I should be doing more, but the list I gave is not exhaustive of everything I'm up to.
It is hard to quantify a lot of contributions, when it is a lot of little things. There are a few other items that I didn't mention which came to mind though:
There are more too. I don't expect everyone to keep up with all the miscellaneous things that I am up to, or know what conversations I have with various stakeholders in private - but I am not just sitting on my hands and collecting money for doing nothing. I do try to find ways to add value in the time that I have, and sadly - I consider myself to be doing quite a bit more than many of the other witnesses in the same position.

I've only mentioned the non-profit part when talking about @ocdb because many don't seem to understand how a distribution bot that gives whitelisted authors a 10% profit is still competitive to delegators.

I do know what @ocd group does which svemirac mentioned earlier:
@ocdb is part of @ocd and @ocd-witness gets witness vote for providing all the services under @ocd umbrella(including so-called distribution bot), correct?
None of other top 20 witness claim, they are providing any "NON-PROFIT" services even if they are providing RPC node service.
BUT I am going to quote you a little there "ocd group of accounts" usually claim they are providing all these services without gaining any profit or rewards or payout or producing blocks.
I hope I have made myself clear, if not then its alright. We are all waiting for HF21 anyways and bots(whether bid-bot or distribution-bot) are hopefully going to be extinct anyways.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yep! There are very few witness that own their own hardware (witness, seed, or RPC node, if they even have one) rather than rent it from a 3rd party. It's not a big talking point, but it has some interesting security implications. Akin to "not your keys not your coins", I'd argue "not your hardware not your data". And in this case, that data could be witness signing keys.
I've been scaling out and modifying my infrastructure quite a bit recently. A lot of applications have moved over to avoid reliance on Steemit -- I know Steemmonsters and Busy are two big examples.

Intetesting question...
Ok, so, being a witness = monthly salary equivalent to salary of full time employee.
Several of them could be developers, several of them could do marketing 24/7 you name the others.
20 people working of Steem(it) are the equivalent of a nice startup - for free!
Why this option was not used, I have no clue

Being a top 20 witness = 1850 steem per month, that's around 740 dollars a month. Find me a competent developer or marketing guy for that amount and I'd gladly hire him/her
edit : top witness = 8150 steem, so 3260$ before tax which is now a "not bad" number but still low depending on where you live and your situation. As a dev I can easily get paid much more.
So my initial point still stands

Yeah sucks to see people think they know fuck all about dev work when they clearly don't. We don't get paid less than Starbucks employees.

For me it's almost impossible to imagine that 100.000.000 $ worth Steem is expected to be promoted by - volunteers.
During my decade long career, I have never seen a company doing that.
For every job position - you need qualifications, CV, education, interviews, you sign a contract...
To be some Steem guru-demi-god, you should be active and loud.
It's a brave concept

Thanks Marky, we also run a Full Public RPC node for everyone to use, we pay for and operate steem.chat along side @gtg , we built steemtipper.com which allows anyone to tip steem on Twitter and Reddit, we run a seed node. We run 3 witness servers, 1 main and 2 backup. @crimsonclad spends ump-teen hours a day in different communities to help, and a shit ton of other stuff.
I am glad Bernie made this post and get us witness's out here to explain some of the stuff we do, its good for the community to know

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I don't support EIP it in its current form. I'm for the downvote pool and the convergent curve, but don't like the idea of 50% curation because I think it will harm the authors, and as you mentioned Marky, let's not forget about the apps with beneficiaries, which will even slash the author rewards further. Given that EIP is a package (the "take it" or "leave it" sort), then it's a "leave it" for me. What I also dislike is their cramming it with HF21. We all know what happened when after they crammed too many things in HF20 and I'd hate to see history repeat itself. One thing at a time. Besides, the supermajority is in favor of EIP so it will surely pass.

I posted the other day on this topic and pulled quotes from @steemitblog's post that was pretty clear they were not intending to put EIP in the next HF but were bringing it forward for discussion in a future HF.
If that has changed.. I can't seem to find any post about it.

instead of some Bull shit hard fork and still lack of work on SMT they should instead make voting and witnesses a bigger part of the platform. I bet you 95% of the people have no idea who they are voting for and what they are voting for. That seems like a major issue right there that truly needs to be fixed and not all this other bullcrap. I am legit tired of steemit doing nothing and hording so much money for the last two years.
