Abit Witness Log 2017-01-14 ~ 2017-01-20
Development:
- code reviews (0.17 related)
SBD pegging policy:
- No change so far.
- Current parameters: APR 5%, price feed bias -0.1%. As of writing, market price of SBD is about 0.998 USD per SBD.
Witness voting:
- Currently I vote for the ones who: produces blocks stably with reasonable version, running a seed node, working on a project / is active ( price feeds / SBD policy / version upgrade / post / comment / chat and etc ). (may be subject to change)
- @arhag, @witness.svk and @busy.witness were removed from my list because none of them I'm aware of is running a seed node. See this post for more info.
- @steempty was removed from my list due to node stability issue. (I'm running a bot that automatically unvote a witness if she/he missed 5 blocks in a row)
- Voted for @delegate.lafona and @chitty for proven node stability and activity in the community.
- Currently these people are on my waiting list: @joseph, @laonie, @kushed, @liondani, @pharesim, @steemychicken1, @someguy123, @picokernel, @aizensou, @chainsquad.com, @arhag, @witness.svk, @busy.witness, @ihashfury, @steempty. (The list is getting long, please let me know if I made mistake(s), thanks.)
Curation:
- Usually I vote for posts with pending payout less than 0.1$, or with a
#cntag and the content is not too bad (subjective) and is related to Chinese/China.
Thanks for your support.
(post reward/payout declined)
"posts with pending payout less than 0.1$" ---> I really like this idea!
In fact, IMO I think there should be a separate section (other than trending, hot, active...) that shows expiring (in terms of payout) posts... maybe we can call it 'snubs' (originally think of the term - missing pearl and soon realize it is Chinese usage lol). in addition the system can screen out those have payouts higher than $X (like your 0.1 here).
This is awesome! Thank you for this, a post of mine was recently upvoted and without your vote I wouldn't of made anything. I mean, I post to share my stories, and my life with Steemians alike but it is always nice to get a little something for my efforts. The $7 your vote earned me was not only an unexpected surprise but also now gives me more push and drive to write more. Thank you for this @abit.
Thanks for your confidence... appreciate it!
Congrats @chitty! Keep up the good work!
@steemychicken1, @someguy123, @aizensou, @ihashfury are surely good picks, some others from your waiting list i vote on too
Voted for you on witnesses.
The waiting list is a lot more awesome than long. Its nothing but long in fact.
How much memory/and disk space does one need to run a steem node currently?
Currently it's ok with ~15G disk space and 4GB RAM. It's better if have more RAM though.
