KLYE Witness Update - 2016/12/23

in #witness-category8 years ago (edited)

Merry Christmas & all that jazz to my fellow STEEM network inhabitants.

I haven't really had much progress this week with my STEEM projects. I'm currently facing some massive changes in my life and am unable to code or develop anything with any sort of efficiency the past week or so. I apologize to the entire community for letting my crumbling personal life effect the work I do for the network and all the services I've currently got under development. I'm really hoping once everything settles down a bit I'm able to make up for lost time and get everything I'm working on finished and launched before end of Q1 2017.

Steem Backed Dollars APR % Decreased

With the rise of Bitcoin price we were seeing SBD trading at over $1 USD worth of BTC a pop and in order to combat this I've adjusted my witness APR % down from 8.5% to 7.5%. While I'm not entirely sure what effect this has on the overall APR rate given I'm only a backup witness. I'll keep an eye on it and adjust it accordingly to try and maintain a proper $1 peg.

Over 1 Month of Flawless Witness Client Up-time


( Screencap from steemdb.com showing my witness server blocks per a day )

Since installing v0.16.0 on my witness servers I've noticed a remarkable increase in stability. Many others are reporting missing the odd block here or there but I've been very fortunate over the past month and hopefully I continue to have 100% up-time moving forward.

Up 2 Spots in Witness Ranking

Thanks to support from the legendary @abit my witness rank is up 2 spots this week from #27 to #25. On average now around 55-59 STEEM blocks per a day are created by my server and it's my hope in the future that I'll secure a spot among the top 19 witnesses. While I'm perhaps not the most skilled or intelligent witness our network has I'm dedicated.

The STEEM network is very much my home, where my friends hang out and where I receive most of my support from. Thank you all for the continued love and support.

I will continue to work on my projects and push to get them done here in the new years.

Thank you virtualgrowth. You da man!

Steem On Dude!

It's not all bad I guess.. Atleast I'm almost a top 19 witness. :D

I voted for your witness quite awhile back! (Y)

Thank you very much Barry. :D

Great news. Not to many more spots to get to the top 19.

My guess is in the new year some time. I've still got some projects to get done before I'd be 100% deserving of the top 19 in my eyes anyways. Others may agree or disagree.

I'm currently not powering down. Only if I need to dip into the STEEM I've managed to collect due to financial reasons will I.

Hopefully once everything is finished and launched I won't have to power down at all to recoup costs and my projects will be able to sustain themselves.

I have not keep up on what projects you have been working on. have you posted about them? or are they still top secret till you get them closer to releasing?

Working on streemit.online - steem.global and steem-roller.com for projects for our network currently.

None of them are currently in working order. If I can shake this blue feeling here after supper I might have a whack at getting steem.global faucet going again so I can give people free STEEM.

It's always made me happy sharing what little I have. Maybe I need to focus more on coding now and less on my ailing personal life.

So much to do.

I'm not great at coding, been years since I tried, but I can still do some basics, if you need help on simple tasks I would not mind helping out. Then I can get my foot back in the door, and start in field I want to get into, away from customer service.

Much appreciated. I will keep this in mind.

Truth be told I'm all self taught. Currently learning 5 different languages and a bunch of different back end stuff to get my projects where they need to be.

If you've got the foundation you can likely build on it. I can tell by the way you type and use proper punctuation and whatnot you're intelligent. :)

Reply to other thread, Thanks, my wife really helped me learn to write and what not, I hated writing as a kid. Started to self learn programming in the Army, but never got very good at it. Before I meet my wife my writing was horrible and still can not spell much correctly but been getting better slowly over the years.
If you need the help I have the same user name in chat, just let me know I am also with you and like to help others if I can.

Thank you for sharing some backstory and offering support man.

What languages you mess about with?

I'll admit right now spell check has RUINED my spelling. I used to be pretty damn good at it. The odd time I do write on paper it's a struggle to remember how to spell words.

I'm klye on the chat. I've got a room setup on #klye in there as well. Mostly people just spamming links but you're welcome to come hang.

Merry Christmas! I know you will be in the top 19 soon:)

Still lots of work to do!

I'll make it there eventually. :)

Yes I'm sure you will :)

I love your updates man, very honest.

It is true what you said in here, you are dedicated and that does count.

My thoughts are with you buddy.

Cheers man.

I try to keep my witness updates short and sweet. This week I've been getting beaten down by life and thus my work has suffered. Oh well, onwards and upwards. End of 2016 sucks. Not going to let it wreck 2017 for me.

FU 2016 lol

At least you know I feel the same brother haha!!! (:
