RE: The Reports from the Witnesses 2018-02-04

This seems a daunting task:

The Reports from the Witnesses aims to provide the community with a summary of what all the witnesses have been up to. Every week, I collect all of the reports from the individual witnesses and assemble them into a single aggregated report. New witness announcements and witness retirement announcements are included in the report as well.

Question: what's the basic criteria to become a witness? Is basic know-how of programming a must?

Sort:  

Basic block chain and steem understanding required, tech know how incredibly useful but not absolutely mandatory. It begins with the purchase of a server that will run you about 100-200 USD a month at a loss, until you can gather enough votes to make it into about the top 80 witnesses, which is not nearly as easy as it sounds and gets light years of exponentially harder to advance each level as you go up.

Great, glad to have you aboard.
