Bosch Connectory to Become a Default Witness on the Obyte Public Network

The results of the Bosch Connectory poll are in — and the results are overwhelmingly in favour of The Bosch Connectory joining Rogier Eijkelhof and Fabien Marino and becoming an order provider (Witness) on the Obyte default hub.

Obyte announced the Connectory’s candidacy two weeks ago and 99.99978% of the votes cast were in favour of adding them as a default order provider.

This is great news for our ongoing effort to decentralize the control of Witness nodes, and Obyte team is very excited to deepen our cooperation with the Stuttgart Connectory.

The Connectory 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 DJMMI5JYA5BWQYSXDPRZJVLW3UGL3GJS with Bosch witness address 2TO6NYBGX3NF5QS24MQLFR7KXYAMCIE5. There is a script in headless-wallet tools folder that makes it easier to replace the witness.

So, the next steps in our continuing effort to decentralize the network will be to announce the next candidate to become an order provider right at the beginning of 2020, so please stay tuned. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
