Witness Update February 20th

Source

Last week my price feed was randomly going down again, so I decided to try @yabapmatt's new price feed publisher. I wrote an idiot's guide (me) to installing it HERE. I am happy to report that since I switched to it I have not had a single issue. My witness has run like clockwork and I have not experienced any downtime.

I am currently fluctuating between rank 83 and 82, effective rank 72 / 71 and get to witness a block around every 5 hours.

As I am a social witness rather than a technical wizard, I have put this week to good use in the various communities I take part in:

• At the minnow support project I have helped out in the help channel, dealing with enquiries.
• I continue to support @helpie and am happy to see its membership growing steadily. Several times now I have nominated new Steemian's posts from there to @OCD for curation.
• @thewritersblock takes up most of my time in my capacity as co-administrator.
• This week I took part in a Q&A session on the @credo discord server, answering questions about witnessing, Steem and the community. This was a fun session that I hope to repeat regularly.

I am hoping to upgrade my witness server to 64GB in the next week or so to head off the extra memory requirements.
