@Lukestokes.mhth (aka @LukeStokes) - Meet The Witnesses #24, Remastered
@Lukestokes.mhth is the witness account for @Lukestokes, a Nashville-based PHP programmer with a degree in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Via his programming work he has handled over half a billion dollars of e-commerce transactions.
Lukestokes is also the owner/operator of FoxyCart, an e-commerce service provider specializing in turn-key solutions for payment-handling. Poking around their website, I was interested to see it supported a wide variety of outside payment processors, including Dwolla, and integrates with numerous other platforms/languages including (I think) Ruby on Rails.
Lukestokes is an old-hand in the cryptosphere, having first purchased Bitcoin at $20 in 2013. He was both an active miner and forum poster at the Bitcointalk.org forums. He continues to blog frequently about cryptocurrencies, trading, and in particular, witness voting engagement. He is also a frequent voice of reason in the comments here on Steemit.
Lukestokes runs the “Witness Voting Engagement Report”, which tracks the voting engagement of all users with 100,000 VESTS or more. This comes out to all users with 48.5 Steem Power, using a recent ration of 485 Steem per million Vests.
In case you were wondering, the mhth on the witness account “...stands for More Human Than Human with a nod to Blade Runner.”
Lukestokes holds 75,000 SP and is NOT powering down. Lukestokes leases SP via @MinnowBooster.

That's a very interesting series. I will take it from the start and maybe add a few people on my voted list depending on what I read. Keep it up 😁😁😁
Thanks @trumpman! Happy to see you here. Checking out your blog now.
woot! thanks, hope you enjoy "my" strange animals ^__^
Were he here in the comments, I'm sure he'd say he appreciates your vote.
Great post and I wish steemit had a sticky or pin option because this is one of those special posts. ??
Why, thank you.
What does it take to be a witness on steemit?
Technically speaking, just a computer running a witness node. More specifically, you need the votes from a lot of users with stake.
wow the comments are real on this thread!
It does seem like a few more new users wandered into this comment thread than normal...
