Someguy123 Witness Thread
My name is Chris, also known as Someguy123.
I run many community services for Litecoin, with very high reliability. The Litecoin Block explorer has possibly up to 99% uptime over the past few years as a good example. I have a lot of experience in system administration, as well as development in various programming languages including Python, Javascript and PHP.
You can check out my Bitrated HERE. It shows all of my various online accounts, and vouches from other people, combining my reputations. You'll find my Bitcointalk, Bitcoin-OTC, twitter, reddit etc. on there.
I've also worked to bring the Litecoin community into Steemit, possibly benefiting both communities, you'll find two of the Litecoin Association directors own introductions ( @mlpfrank and @therealmage ) here and here.
I made an introduction post here detailing the services I run: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@someguy123/i-m-someguy123-a-well-known-developer-in-the-litecoin-community
I decided that I wanted to try to contribute to Steemit however I could, with one of my first plans being to make the process of setting up a seed and witness as easy as possible, with installation scripts and thorough up to date guides on the process (as I learned, the documentation for this is currently very spread out and some of it is outdated). Within the next day or two, I'll be publishing those.
I am now running a witness someguy123 on one of my most powerful servers, and I am aiming to have a perfect uptime, along with the seed. The witness is located in France, on a dedicated server with 16gb of RAM allocated to the witness, and 4 cores of an 8-core AMD Opteron.
My seed is available (on a completely different hosting provider in a different region) at steemit-seed.someguy123.com on port 2001, use it by adding this to your config.ini:
seed-node = steemit-seed.someguy123.com:2001
Please vote for me by running the following:
vote_for_witness YOURACCOUNT someguy123 true true
OR you can vote directly from Steemit by going here (at least when/if I get into the top 50):
I'm also going to try to contribute to various STEEM projects where I can.
Here's my first piece of work on Steemit: https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/pull/121
Finally, you'll be able to vote on witnesses who aren't already in the top 50!

It would be nice if we can add a question answering functionality to steem, something like qoura, should not be hard.
