Saying that HERO pays interest is misleading, because it does not. If you have 1 HERO now, you'll have the same 1 HERO next year and next year and so on... It's buying power relative to USD is going to increase, because shorters are forced to pay more USD when you settle it. This is different from paying interest.

What should be the minimum requirements of such a block explorer?

Better charts, which show history of market cap and transaction volume per each assets and total for all assets. This deserves to be funded through worker or some other way. But who can do this?
 

The hardest part ... find somebody who can do it.

Давно пора! Где вы были так долго?

This is unfortunately. Now, the only usable gateway is openledger, which is not good.

Using BTSBots requires users to share their active permission private key so we recommend creating a second account

This is a disinformation. You don't share your private key. @alt is this correct?

There is a MUCH better way to reduce the pay of the witnesses and bring more value to Bitshares.

Vote for more witnesses.

The amount that goes out is based on 3BTS per block

Those blocks are distributed between the Active witnesses.

The less active witnesses we have, the more they get paid.

At present 2 very good long time witnesses are no longer active because the number of witnesses has been reduced from 21 to 19.

What we should be doing is keeping the pay where it is at, and having 30+ Active witnesses instead.

More feed data, more competition, more network resilience.. aaaaaaand... all for the SAME PRICE!

How do we do this?

Vote for more witnesses that deserve the vote. If we don't have them then go out and tell people about the opportunity. Invite new people who are will to show some BTS love and bring with them their own network to love BTS too.

Squeezing and trying to punish existing Active witnesses isn't the answer.

Bring new fresh ones and expanding our number from 19 to 30+ is.

But the you are left with same problem: next time BTS is dumped, you will need to fire some witnesses again to raise their pay.
