So help catch me up here, is this to get STEEM on another crypto exchange? I went to the link you sent but was a little confused since the voting went away.

Yes, the voting has already been closed yesterday if im not mistaken..

We wanted to get STEEM to be recognized since it is what we used here. If we had reached #01 spot, STEEM gets to be listed in NETCOINS

What getting listed on Netcoins means:
Getting your coin sold in 171,000 retail locations in over 53 countries across 6 continents
Press releases and media exposure on financial sites and crypto sites (Nasdaq, Globenewswire, Coinmarketcap, Coincodex etc…)
Global OTC desk availability

Oh wow, that could have been huge! Where do you hear about this stuff? I think I need a better way of staying connected. Or maybe looking at a different tag.

Actually, it has been trending this week, you have not came accross about it?? People are talking about it, shouting a call to everyone to help vote everyday. Nonetheless, we won!!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe.. you might want to follow witnesses, they provide updates or anything happening in the community.. hey have you vote for witnesses?? Let me check if you have had.. waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh you have not yet voted anyone at all! hahahahhaha...

What are Witnesses?
According to the Steemit FAQ,

The Steem blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with STEEM Power for each block they create.

Witnesses are elected by the community to witness the production of blocks on the Steem network. In other words, they run and maintain nodes (servers) that generate the blocks containing all transactions (i.e. posts, upvotes, comments, transfers, etc.), which are added to the blockchain. Without witness nodes, there is no Steem blockchain. This Delegated Proof Of Stake (DPOS) system is based on trust, where the most trusted witnesses are likely to serve the network reliably.
