Witness Update DragosRoua
Technical and Economical
- kept my price feed discount at 1%
- kept my SBD APR at 3%
- kept the account registration fee at $5 (I use a script called steem witness toolbox, available for free on Github, for publishing the feed price and adjusting a few blockchain props)
- kept my witness and seed nodes running smoothly (i.e. no missed blocks).
Community
Published a new voting proposal, which includes tipping ("having skin in the game") and which I think can mitigate some of the psychological effects of downvoting. You can read it here, I would appreciate your comments.
The story-telling challenge I started at the beginning of February ended this weekend. I had a lot of fun and a few very good quality posts emerged form this. The absolute winner is @creatr, with 8 wins (and 8 SBD in prizes).The total number of prizes was 16 SBD, all came from my own account (and it was a pleasure to reward all the submissions).
Here's the final leaderboard, with all the winners and their rewards:
Writer | Number Of Wins | Rewards (SBD) |
---|---|---|
@creatr | 8 | 8 |
@madlenfox | 2 | 2 |
@hulkbuster | 1 | 1 |
@immarojas | 1 | 1 |
@roboid | 1 | 1 |
@dreemit | 1 | 1 |
@chrisaiki | 1 | 1 |

Hardfork 17
According to a few commits on Github, Hardfork 17 implementation should be on March 14. There's still time for another witness update until then, in which I will describe my opinion in more detail, but I just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to this release. It may be the catalyst of a positive trend.

I appreciate you keeping the community in the loop on your thought processes and progress :)
As witnesses, we are kind of required to do so, but thanks :)
chuckles Dunno if you've looked but apparently not everyone believes so.
