It is a pleasure to participate in this amazing contest today. This week marks the last week of the steemit engagement challenge for season 6. I'm delighted to present my entry number 5 in this week's contest. Today we will be looking at the topic "Effect of Witness for STEEM Growth", I do hope you will enjoy reading my understanding of the term witness. Let's get started.
Tell us what you know about witnesses, for example: tasks, roles / functions of witnesses in the Steem Blockchain.
Witnesses are very important in every blockchain technology because they perform a big function when it comes to validation and the security of the blocks in the blockchain under consideration. Witnesses are responsible to protect the blockchain from any form of attack and that helps users of the blockchain be more confident of the blockchain because their assets are secured.
In the case of the steem blockchain, the witness is responsible for producing a block and also verifying transactions and ensuring the security of the blockchain to earn users' confidence in the blockchain.
Witness in the steem blockchain is chosen via votes. All steemian are eligible to vote for the witness they want. Every steemian is eligible to vite for 30 different users as a witness and anyone who meets the criteria can be a witness.
Roles/Function of witnesses in the steem blockchain
Now, the major role of a witness is to participate in the governance of the steem blockchain. Participating in governance means being part of the decision-making that ensures the growth of the steem blockchain example is updating the software or changing the way the software function.
More also, the witness is responsible for block production and validation of transactions. These things are done transparently so that those concerned I.e the users will have confidence in the blockchain. So witness works to endure the growth of the steem blockchain.
Why do we need to choose Witness?
The importance of witnesses in the steem blockchain can never be overemphasised. I have said earlier that the witness helps to keep the blockchain functioning properly. So we need to choose the witness in other to ensure that the steem blockchain continues functioning well.
Recall, I said in the beginning that we select a witness by casting a vote. Now, you must choose a witness that is active and contributes to the growth of the platform. So we choose those who show serious commitment to ensuring the growth of the platform.
A witness is like a representative of the other steemian because they help in answering some questions which we are not familiar with because they have more in-depth knowledge and skill about the steem blockchain.
Name the witnesses you have chosen. And which one of them do you prefer the most?
The list of all the witnesses I have voted for can be seen in the screenshot below. I voted via https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses. I have voted on a witness that I believe adds more value to the platform.

My preferred witness is pennsif.witness which is run by @pennsif. Before he got to the top 20, I saw all the contributions he has been making to the platform via the news update and running of real-life projects most especially here in Nigeria.
I decided to remove one of the witnesses I have initially voted for so that he can join the top 20. His work is remarkable and he runs real-life projects which will go a long way to touch the lives of many.
I have been privileged to chat with him too on discord and he advised and encouraged me and also told me to always contact him anytime I have any challenge with the platform. So I prefer him because he is hardworking and also approachable.
So in essence, voting for a good witness like @pennsif.witness will go a long way in helping the steemit platform to grow more because carrying out real-life projects advertise steemit even more than any other promotional activities.
Witnesses are important aspects of any blockchain. The steem witness helps to produce and validate the transaction in the blockchain and also ensures that there is much security for the blockchain. They are rewarded for their work anytime a new block is produced. I want to invite a few friends @fjjrg, @afrizalbinalka, @ruthjoe, @chiabertrand, @lavanyalakshman and @pelon53 to also join the contest.
As always you have shared another interesting and educative article with us on the essence of witnesses to the Steem blockchain.
By voting for witnesses, users are investing in the future of the Steem blockchain and helping to ensure that it will remain secure and prosperous.
Am glad you are equally supporting pennsif.witness because by voting for @pennsif.witness, you are not only providing support for a reliable witness but also supporting several beneficial projects and initiatives that promote the growth of the STEEM blockchain.

You have selected @pennsif.witness and also I did. My reason was he is hard working and continuously working for Steem blockchain. He is a reliable and supportive witness who is promoting and growing Steemit as much as he can.

Amigo sin duda me gusta tu publicación, muy completa y cierta, tienes mucha razón al decir que nunca se exagera al hablar de la importancia que tienen los testigos dentro de nuestra plataforma.
Tu testigo favorito es ejemplo de constancia y dedicación, sin duda un gran testigo y que esté dentro de los 20 es lo mejor que pudo pasar.
Éxitos en el concurso.
Aku melihat kamu sudah sangat faham akan pentingnya memilih witness dan kamu juga sudah menggunakan hak suara mu untuk memilih mereka.. karena witness tersebut ibarat perwakilan dari kita steemians. Semoga dukungan kita kepada para witness bisa membantu pertumbuhan steem menjadi lebih baik.lagi.
