PolloPollo Approved to Become a Default Witness on the Obyte Public Network Luke Angell Follow Feb 6 · 3 min read

Thank you to everyone in the Obyte community that took part in the 4th independent Order Provider poll! As you know, we have made decentralizing the Order Provider (Witness) nodes a priority, and we are happy to announce that PolloPollo was the winner of the latest poll and will be joining Bosch Connectory Stuttgart, Fabien Marino and Rogier Eijkelhof by becoming an Order Provider (Witness) on the Obyte default hub.

As always, we made an announcement in Medium, and across our channels, about the candidates (Bind Creative, PolloPollo and Raivo Malter) and the details of the poll, which closed on 4 February, 2020 at 12:00. The results were tallied in real time and visible to all, and in the end most of the votes were cast in favour of adding PolloPollo as a default Order Provider.

PolloPollo is an amazing project, which does not only showcase the utility of DLT in general, and Obyte in particular, but it is all about changing people’s lives for the better one donation at a time, and there is no better raison d’être than making the world a better place. We applaud their efforts, and are pleased to have them take this role in supporting the Obyte network.

On the implementation side, the next steps for Obyte users to add PolloPollo as an Order Provider are simple. The PolloPollo address will be pushed from the default hub to all of the active wallets, so the next time that you open up your Obyte wallet you will receive a notification to accept the change. Please just accept the change, if you agree, and the list of witnesses in your wallet will be automatically updated.

We will also ask all full node operators and hub operators to update their witness lists as well by replacing the old witness address OYW2XTDKSNKGSEZ27LMGNOPJSYIXHBHC with the PolloPollo witness address APABTE2IBKOIHLS2UNK6SAR4T5WRGH2J. There is a script in headless-wallet tools folder that makes it easier to replace the witness.

Last, but certainly not least, we would like to sincerely thank Raivo and Bind Creative for their participation in the poll and ongoing support of the Obyte project. They both will be able to take part in the next or any future polls, if they wish, and we hope that they do.

The next poll will be announced soon after PolloPollo has been added to the network so please keep an eye on Medium for the details. If you are interested in becoming an Obyte Order provider, please contact us at o@obyte.org.
