Thank you for clarifying that! That's a very important point. Do you happen to know where that is in the white paper? I haven't been able to find it. I know there are a lot of changes such as the elimination of the liquidity rewards and the change in SP distribution. Thanks for all the work you do promoting Steemit, organizing Steemfest (so far, I may be 0 for 2 in convincing my wife we need to go), and running a solid witness.

would be epic to have you!

Don't know about the whitepaper but in the source code its here:

Perfect, thanks!

Thanks again. Now that I'm a top 50 witness, I'm going to be spending a lot more time hunting through the code and learning what's going on. There's a lot to figure out. :)

Didn't it change from 19 to 20 top-witnesses ?
