WITNESS WEEKLY @ 14 October 2022
All quiet in the Top 20 this week - not a single movement to be seen.
@pennsif.witness has edged up to #57 - the Seed Node is now in place, and the Full Node is on its way.
The big focus is still on Steemit Inc's new $500K Development Incentive Program that will be managed by five of the top witnesses. The closing date for suggestions is 15 October...
Pennsif the Witness
After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.
I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness
If anyone would like to support what I already do, and what I am planning to do, by giving one of their 30 witness votes to @pennsif.witness I would be hugely grateful.
You can read my full witness announcement here...
Thank you.

There are a further 30 or so active backup witnesses mainly in the #21 - #57 slots.
All top 50+ witnesses are running the current 0.23.1 version.
Many of the witnesses from #58 and below are 'former' witnesses that are running old witness versions (0.23.0 or 0.22.1) and have now moved to another blockchain.
Details of all the witnesses can be found in @steemchiller's Steemworld.org, on @justyy's steemyy.com or on @symbionts's ecosynthesizer.com...
The listing in Steemworld.org has the added feature of showing who is voting for each witness (click on the little piechart icon).
@steem.history and @future.witness both publish daily witness listings...
New Witnesses
No new witnesses have been detected since the last Witness Weekly.
Witnesses News & Updates
Steemit Development Incentive Program
Steemit Inc has announced the full details of the new Development Incentive Program.
$500,000 worth of STEEM tokens per year is being made available to support community-led development projects on steemit.com.
The program is being overseen by a team of five top witnesses - @future.witness (@hightouch), @steemchiller, @justyy, @smt-wherein (@iguazi123) and @dev.supporters (@donekim, @glory7 & @wonsama).
These five Community Developer Representatives will receive 10% of the budget between them for running the program.
The community is invited to submit their ideas and suggestions for improvements as comments, or full posts, by 15 October...
The list of proposals and suggestions submitted so far can be seen here...

It's a good time to be a Steem Witness...
