Have you used your witness vote - you have 30 votes to elect witnesses ?
The Steem Blockchain requires a group of people to create blocks in order for the network to operate. This group of people run what is called Witness servers which run a consensus mechanism called DPOS or Delegated Proof of Stake.
Each of us as Steemit users can become a witness for the Steem blockchain. Each of us with a Steemit username, can cast 30 Votes in a selection process.

We have setup such a server and are running a campaign to get more witness votes. We are very active in the community specifically in Africa, where we hosted 2 Steem Saturday conferences in order to get the word about Steemit out to as many as possible people. The media did a few articles on these conferences which an in 2016 and 2017.
We have a team of developers which is currently working on a new blockchain project called SportsPodium. One of the aspects of the new platform, will be developed using SMT's and we hope to bring thousands of new users onto Steemit. This will happen as soon as the SMT platform is available for us to use.
Our current server
We have been running a server for the past month or so, but unfortunately missed a few blocks recently as the 32GB of RAM which we had in our server just did't cut it anymore. We are excited to say that we are already in the process of upgrading the server which should be done either later today or by latest tomorrow.
Our New Server upgrades are underway
- We will be installing a shiny new 6-core 8th gen Core i5 CPU
- Larger SSD drives to accommodate the blockchain which is over 80GB
- 64GB of RAM and we should be future proof for the next while at least.
Our air-conditioned server room with its 10Mbps fibre Internet connection is more than sufficient at the moment - so that will stay as-is.

@lemouth, it is actually 30 Apologies. Thanks for the vote!
I bought the pods ico using my steem acct and I am wondering if I will ever receive my tokens ?
Yeah, I had issues with voting for witnesses the last time I tried, which made me believe it was 20. Seems fixed :D
Ge-vote, done and dusted!!
I have voted for you as a witness. I believe you will support the african community to grow
Followed a few of your links - en toe stem ek vir jou!
My passion is for progress in peace toward a happy society. And I have a concept to donate in this regard -- a decentralized trading facility for real goods and services at grassroots level, designed to input purchasing power at the level of the individual consumer/entrepreneur for free, just enough to sustain the disabled and stimulate enterprise, but not enough to make potential producers lazy.
It is revolutionary in more than one sense and potentially disruptive on a grand scale and may sound ridiculous from a conventional perspective, but I have a gut feeling that it might just be viable, especially in structurally devastated or grossly corrupted poor communities, of which we have plenty in Africa.
And EOS may just be the perfect platform to launch it upon.
Ons moet praat!
