Hail to everyone on our fine STEEM network. Hope your day is swell!
Each week I do a short write up outlining what I've been up to in the past week in regards to my witness campaign, service development and general update on things. This week was primarily focused on the @tippy project and my effort to try and get the service online for the end of this month. I still have a fair amount to do on the project, still aiming for the end of the month launch but that doesn't leave me much time!
Also the HF19 event earlier this week was a great success and for the most part people seem to enjoy the new changes it sounds like! HF20 development seems to be also moving ahead in the Steemit Inc hive. Will get more details on that as they arise.
This Week as STEEM Witness
Upgraded Main & Backup Witness Servers to 0.19.0
Earlier this week the STEEM network underwent an upgrade from v0.18.0 to v0.19.0 and with it brought the new found ability to vote 4x the previous weight per a vote as well as the reward curve being flattened in favour of the previous parabolic looking curve. What this means is you can cast 2% your total voting power per 100% vote. Given you regenerate 20% voting power a day you can in theory vote 10x in a day at full power and return to Steemit the next day and have your power recharged. I've still yet to get v0.19.0 running on STEEM.GLOBAL and getting the withdrawal backlog processed but I'll get to that hopefully this weekend.
There was a bit of forking during the HF19 switch over and all witnesses missed at least a few blocks as the network found it's way to the new version of software. Was lucky to only miss half a dozen or so blocks myself before my main witness server caught on to the right chain and so far it looks to be running in proper order!
@Tippy Tweaks, Fixes, Development and R&D

The post linked above is one of many testing posts I've created a long the way to test and develop the @tippy project, which once launched, will make having to go to your wallet in order to tip STEEM and SBD to your fellow users a thing of the past. Development of this project started out so simple and most of the core of the bot was actually written in a few days! However the support systems, failsafes and secondary functionalities still have work to be done and thanks to @jesta the queue system required for processing multiple calls in short time frames is a step closer to being finished.
I'm still aiming for an end of month launch but will likely have to put in a few long nights and get the communities help for testing later next week to achieve this goal.
