To increase your chances
* you should prove your technical competence by running a testnet witness before you try mainnet
* you should have a backup server running in hot standby
* you should run a public API node as well
* your feed price should accurately represent the fair value of BTS against the underlying asset
Trying to buy votes is frowned upon by many and will most likely lead to the big voters *not* voting for you.
Thank you for your kind advice.
* I have a witness node cit-ioex on Citshares(
https://www.citshares.org/explorer/witnesses),you can see it as a test network.
* I will consider to set a backup server , and I have the ability , I've done it before .
* Now the API node have not yet open to public , now is for private use .
* My feed price will accurate , and i allow a little higher than CNY or USD , but i don't allow the feed price lower than , lower feed price is a tool to hurt investors in some sense.
And i want to say this is not buying votes . Being a witness is a money-making thing now, of course, it can be used as a company operation to dividend shareholders. And my money is paid after earning it,that is the key point.
