Witness Update Jan 16, 2018 - Greater, Better and Bolder

My Steemit family,

I feel truly pleased to report that I have updated my observer server from 24GB to now 32 GB. It is presently a lot Greater, Better and Bolder

Greater
Because of RPC hub issue, my observer halted briefly and I involved that as a valuable chance to move up to a greater server - 32 GB. The re-sync found opportunity to happen and meanwhile I missed 3 blocks. Sorry.

Why greater server? - The Steem people group is detonating in its populace, and thusly the quantity of exchanges per block has nearly multiplied from where it was only 3 months prior when I previously turned into an observer.

Together due to this populace blast and expanded in number of exchanges, the size of blockchain is currently expanding on a remarkable scale. It crossed 20 GB toward the beginning of January.

This requested Observers to move to a greater Server that can Host this enormous and consistently running Blockchain.

Better
Interfacing with the above subject, with detonating populace size on Steemit, It appeared to be that the ongoing block size will most likely be unable to deal with the heap of the multitude of new clients. The new clients can not manage various exchanges because of restricted data transfer capacity and restricted exchanges that a block can store. Subsequently a portion of the observers chose to increment (essentially twofold) the Block size in order to collect more exchanges)

I'm glad to express that, I am among the initial rare sorts of people who showed that drive and expanded the block size.

Bolder
Decreased account creation charges - as and when another record is made

The record creation charges was 0.2 Steem. At the point when Steem cost was $1, this caused no worry as charges for making new record was

0.2 * 30 (suggested charge) = 6 STEEM

In this manner another record was made with designation of 6 Steem or $6; enough to do general posting/remarking and upvoting action.

However, with Steem cost at $6 - this would mean expense for making another record would top $36 ($60 assuming the cost of Steem is $10).

After through conversation and tests led it was reasoned that Record creation charges of 0.1 would be enough for another record to lead essential activities.

Consequently as a restorative measure I likewise changed the record creation expenses in my server

Drop in witness positioning
It is miserable to express that, notwithstanding being favorable to dynamic in keeping steady over things and going to remedial lengths to keep the Blockchain Steem running my observer rank dropped from 88 to 107

The observer rank dropped cus one of my observer ally who contributed ~90 percent of the Vesting Offers chose to bring down his vote.

Thus, I'm marking substantially less blocks now, and the observer reward isn't adequate to take care of the server expense.

As yet supporting the local area and requesting your help consequently
All I ask is your observer vote - measurably talking >90% of the steemit local area individuals don't Decide in favor of Witnesses....

There is sufficient writing on the stage to realize what is an Observer and why witness is significant for the drawn out security of the stage.

So kindly feel free to help a few astounding individuals over here who are perspiring constantly to give you not quit publishing content to a blog insight.

To decide in favor of my observer
