Top 100 witness!
So many good news in so little time!
Two days ago i was honored to receive a vote for witness from @jerrybanfield . This guy is so powerful that his vote made me jump to the 98 position, and a few hours later i witnessed my first block! I feel honored for his trust, and will do my best not to disappoint any of my voters!
Today i witnessed a second block, as i can see, in the current network weight, i'll witness a block every 24 hours give or take.
Servers maintenance
The seed node i setup, at seed.windforce.farm , is extremely fast, and so stable it reminds me of the old Novell servers which you set and then forget for years...I even don't think i logged into it for 2 or 3 weeks.
The witness server needs more baby-sitting. The great docker version (steem in a box from @someguy123 ) i use there is stable, but the steemfeed daemon ( publishes steem price every hour) crashes randomly, so i check my steemdb stats many times a day, to see if rates are published on time otherwise i have to login and restart the daemon.
Is sending SBD fast or what?!?
One great advantage of hosting the dedicated witness server @ Privex is that you can pay in SBD (steem dollars), and it's even the cheapest option, if you count the fees for other coins (particularly btc). So, since i didn't have enough SBD in my wallet, i converted some ETC to SBD ( straight in my Coinpayments wallets ) then sent the SBD from my Coinpayments wallet to my steem wallet ( arrived in like 30 seconds ) and the same happened when i sent the SBD to Privex, never saw a coin transfer so fast!
Please vote for me as a witness
If you see the current top 200 witnesses ( https://witstats.steemliberator.com/witness_list ) you will notice many witnesses are inactive, even in the top 100 ( some have been inactive for months) . Please help me or other motivated witnesses jump up in the ranks so the inactive witnesses will disappear down the line.
Please go to the https://steemit.com/~witnesses page, roll down to the bottom of the list, type windforce in the box and click Vote.
Congrats! And good luck in making steemit better!
Thank you very much, doing my best!
