Being a Steem Witness with not much following is a big pain in the a**. Another way to help witnesses who are dedicated would be to temporarily give them SP delegation, so they can get a few blocks, pay for the servers and keep this system running. At present much of the power is in the top list's hands. Which is not bad but considering if these outages will recur, people will go eventually off from this platform...
Support your witnesses, not only the top ones, they have enough votes and are generating more income from witnessing. Push up those who are willing to take the witness job and enthusiastic about Steem.

Who Really Owns Your Steemit Data? - The Community Seed Nodes Project - Forever Nodes
That's exactly what we are trying to do here. Thanks very much for your comment. Though my upvote is not worth much, your comment was very heart felt. This Steemit Forever! initiative is not to produce money for myself , it is simply to help everyone on the network by contributing technology, skillset and security to the network that will help prevent outages like we had yesterday. It's purpose isn't to wrest power from other witnesses or threaten the hierarchy in any way. It's simply to put more nodes out there for us all to use that will be available no matter who is in top 20. So this is not an assault on witnesses. It's awareness to help people understand that they have a task now that they honestly probably don't want and shouldn't have yet alas it is there. Keep in mind, the seed nodes do not write blocks and do not generate rewards as a witness node can, but we need them and they have to be paid for so that's why this witness @justinadams was created. We cannot afford to sit on our asses with this issue. With alternative networks popping up every day, and the price of steem being threatened by the likes of google and facebook, resource allocation is the last thing we need to be concerned with. We just want to express ourselves like the awesome creators and authors that we are, but we cannot do that if the network that allows us to do so remains unhealthy. To be frank, I have already lost $1300 in developing this project because I believe in the power of the human spirit (still) and the ability of mankind to ultimately do the right thing. Hopefully the people that stand to lose the most when the site crashes or is unavailable, will be at the forefront of supporting this initiative. Thanks for using one of your 30 votes to support @justinadams btw!
