bitcoiner - Witness Update #19 - 2017-03-03

---

My fellow Steemians,

Welcome to my weekly witness update. This is something I do every Friday as some other witnesses do too. Hopefully, this will keep my followers and the community up-to-date with what I've been up to. Ultimately, I hope I may gain your witness approval vote.

• Had a Steem Power giveaway! In total, there were 65 participants and I had split 400 SP among them. For participation, I had them finish a sentence and to set a profile picture if they don't already have one, which incentivizes them to explore the profile settings. There were many great responses and I will most likely do such giveaways monthly on the first from now on.

• Posted about HF 17's new tentative date after I noticed a pull request in GitHub. Soon after, a release candidate was published for witnesses to start testing.

• I will be testing this release candidate in the coming days. Hopefully the upgrade goes smoothly and bugs can be found and fixed before the hardfork time of March 14.
