How to learn how to run a steemit witness node?

in #steemit • 7 years ago

Hey everyone,
So I've been interested in the cryptoworld for a while now, and I really want to take a more active role in projects I believe in. One of these is right here at steemit. Even though I know running a node is not really profitable anymore, it would be my part in giving back to the community. I am a layman when it comes to technology though, so I don't have any idea where to start with this. I have bought a book "Linux for Beginners", and I'm trying to work my way through that slowly. Any suggestions on where to go to learn the pertinent skills I need?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

    I will be the first to admit that computers and programing are not my strong point! I struggle doing anything more than checking e-mails and using Google or web searches...lol... so what the _ _ _ _ ! I am doing on a site like this !
    well the answer is learning! and trying to be a part of a better world. ...
    I can recommend "learn to code" it is an online course designed to teach kids K - 12 how to code and program. It has a lot of courses ,they are 1 hr. long, and I have been using it to try and become adequately proficient enough to be a worthy contributor to such a great and world changing site...
    I hope you find it as useful as I have! :-) namaste
