HF24 is around the corner (October 6 at 14:00 UTC) and I am now running v1.24.2 on my witness. The core developers made an amazing work that I believe will be a stepping stone for building the great things to come.
I think a HF is also a good time to reflect on the work of witnesses and I ll take some time in the coming weeks to reevaluate my votes.
As for myself, here is my long overdue witness update :
Witness status
As shown here, my witness is currently ranked 21st with 3,320 votes worth 98.2 GVests.
I have only missed 106 blocks in nearly 3 years and have scripts in place to make sure my witness is disabling itself after missing one in both main and backup servers.
Major contributions to Hive
Development
I am a developer so I guess most of you know me for some of the following:
- Lead developer of Hive Keychain. Keychain is in my opinion instrumental to the growth of dApps on our blockchain and is now the project I'm working on as a priority. Thanks to the DHF support, I am now developing both the extension and a mobile App. Both are opensource and available on Github.
- I publish a development update every week regarding the progress made on Keychain (both for extension and Apps)
- I have automated @hbdpotato HBD conversions, learn more in this post.
- I plan to release a React library to make it easier to create modern front-ends on Hive.
Documentation
- Back in the days, I ve wrote a pretty useful guide to learn to use steem.js for Javascript development : Steem.js for Dummies. There are 11 different tutorials in this series and they are still relevant for Hive. I plan to make a new series of posts, more up to date and tailored to Hive.
- I wrote a comprehensive guide about how to use Multisig.
DHF
- I have proposed guidelines for funding development through DHF here and am abiding to these guidelines in my work on Keychain.
- I have proposed the idea of a fund to represent HIVE at major blockchain events around the world here. I even prepared a proposal for this but I'm saving it for later due to Covid-19 and related travel bans.
- I have hosted an Elevator Pitch Contest to try and find better ways to pitch Hive in a short time.

Hey, I was just poking around Hive, and I saw your page, and #sangsom sundays. Are you in Thailand? I've been here since the lockdowns. Great place to be, right now I'm in Koh Phagnan. I was staying in Chiang Mai until the air pollution got so bad. Anyway, maybe you're totally not in Thailand but you like Sangsom! hahaha
I like what you do here in the platform. I'll go ahead and vote for you for witness. Have a good day!
Hey man!
I'm not in Thailand at the moment, I live in Taiwan. The #SangsomSunday comes from the
SteemHiveFest in Bangkok where we add a crazy good time. Here's a bottle of Sangsom passed from tuktuk to tuktuk :Makes me really nostalgic and looking forward to the next HiveFest, wherever that is! =)
Koh Phangan is fun, enjoy!
And thanks for your vote!
Those were some good times for sure. Hard to believe that I'm still in the country almost a year and a half later. Since I can't travel internationally any more. I'll explore Thailand for the both of us. Cheers brother and keep up the good work here on hive!
