RE: Let's Start 2017 On The Right Foot - A 30 Days Writing Challenge Proposal
How exciting! I'm brand new - so this challenge will be... challenging :) I've just written my first entry. May I post it tomorrow as Day 1's entry? (or really - i can post it in 4 hours at the strike of midnight hahaha). Where do we post this? Do we just submit our own story - and then put the tag of challenge30 - and it will automatically link to your challenge? (sorry - I'm not sure how this all works) hahaha
oh... and what exactly is a witness? (is that an easy one to explain?)
Thanks!
You post it on your own timeline, it's your content. The aim is to create discipline. If you want to have quality content, the first thing is to have content, right? It's an exercise.
As for witnesses, they are a very important part of the Steemit platform. In short, they are running servers which are signing transactions on the blockchain (meaning they are keeping the whole platform alive). They are also involved in setting up the Steem price, the interest rate for SBD, the account creation fee and a few other blockchain properties.
If you're new here, I highly suggest you take the time to read the Steemit White Paper (the link is the right hamburger menu). Steemit is a very different beast.
