The Reports from the Witnesses 2018-03-04
The Reports from the Witnesses aims to provide the community with a summary of what all the witnesses have been up to. Every week, I collect all of the reports from the individual witnesses and assemble them into a single aggregated report. New witness announcements and witness retirement announcements are included in the report as well.
Witnesses can continue posting their posts to the witness-category and/or witness-update tags, and I will assemble everything I find there. If I miss any reports, just let me know and I will correct it. If you want to direct message me a report via chat, that is fine too.
Historic Reports from the Witnesses can be found here:

So without further ado, I bring you the sixty third edition of 'Reports from the Witnesses'!

Some Notes:
- Many witnesses do not report every week, and prefer to only report when they have updates.
- I recommend that you include communication as one of your criteria for evaluating witnesses, but keep in mind - it is not the only criteria. There are some witnesses that prefer to work "behind the scenes", and do not do much as far as reports.
- For witnesses that are not currently posting any reports, I would encourage you to provide the community with at least some insight into what you are currently working on :)
Remember to vote for witnesses!

Hi Tim, I sent you the link on discord about which we discussed. I also want to discuss about witness. I hope to hear from you on discord. Thanks a lot.
Replied :)
I know very little about the techie side of all of this but from what I can tell the witnesses are the "wind beneath our wings" here on the Steemit blockchain. I need to make time to review some of the bios and see who is doing what. I see we can vote for 30, I think I have only voted for 6. Hmmmm!
Hehe, yes. Good analogy :)
Hi @timcliff. The more I explore about you and your blogs, the more you are winning my vote. First off, I respect that you produce this weekly summary of witness activities and do not keep any of the earnings. You are consistent with the values that you portray.
I like that you include all ranges of witnesses. I hope you could include a short profile of each witness in future posts. Perhaps that report already exists somewhere and I have found it yet. But if not, I would love to know the following:
Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing. I will be back for more.
It’s an good idea. Getting all the witnesses to participate in something is a bit like hearding cats - but I will keep the idea in mind :)
I would like to help and I have an idea. I proposal that I write ‘The Inside Scoop - Witness Edition’ where some of my questions would be answered and I will add some details about the witnesses that I discover as I read through some their content. I will try my best to keep the content unbiased and stick to facts. You can be my first story if you are interested.
I share a group account, BeeYOU, that is heavily invested in #newbieresteemday, which is an initiative that supports and helps newbies learn and grow together. We are a new fun bunch of good hearted individuals. Our initiative is sponsored by Abh12345 and Coolguy123. Both received delegations from Fulltimegeek to help grow communities and we were lucky to be one of the sponsee. Some of our members are a part of Apolymask’s Information Finding contest which you recently donated $25 SBD.
I am new but I see great potential with the STEEM blockchain and Steemit. I want to support it and add my value by helping the good witnesses stay on top or get to the top. My proposal is that you allow me to write about you as a person, witness, and Steemiam. I think it would be helpful to our community and other to get to know a witness at a deeper level. I have a good feeling that the witnesses that I write about will see an uptick in votes. Now I understand that our low SP votes might not carry as much weight as a dolphin or whale, but we won’t be minnows forever. 50% of my post SBD earnings will be donated to #newbieresteemday in your name which will go towards upvoting newbies’ content. I am also open to donating 100% of the SBD earnings to the initiative or even follow your foot steps of not taking any of the SBDs and putting it back into the prize pool.
Sure, I will do the interview. Send me your questions on steem chat. You can use the rewards however you would like.
Awesome. I will formulate the questions and will find you on steem chat soon. Thanks for the opportunity @timcliff. This will be fun.
Does the frequency of reward claims affect the interest on SP?
Does an account with 0.001 STEEM vested as SP receive interest on it?
What is the minimal SP required to receive interest on vests?
If there is such a minimal threshold for receiving interest, and also if this threshold is 0, if there are two accounts above it, with one of them bigger 100 times than the other, will the bigger account receive a higher interest rate?
SP that has been held for 30 days will receive interest, so any SP you aren't claiming will not be "counting" for it's 30 days until you claim it.
I do not know those questions regarding the corer cases of very small amounts. If you are interested, you can look through the code: https://github.com/steemit/steem/
Assuming a 100% starting point, do a vote of 50% strength immediately followed by another vote of 50% have the same cumulative effect as a 100% vote?
Assuming a 100% starting point, do a vote of 50% strength immediately followed by another vote which reduces the VP to exactly 98% have the same cumulative effect as a 100% vote, assuming no time delay between them?
Is the time delay 3 seconds, or is it more?
I believe that you can only vote for the same post once per block (3 seconds).
This is why I used the word cumulative.
Because I was aware of it.
It was about the effect of 1 vote on the reward pool compared to the effect of 2 votes in 2 different scenarios.
Is it a guarantee that a block is created exactly every 3 seconds?

Good job @timcliff. Its OBVIOUS you are working hard to see that this platform goes to the next level and I won't be too blind to acknowledge.
Thanks for the STEEM Giveaway last week.
Nice work once more!
Thanks :)
Such a wonderful project. You have done a great work. This project is really great, I like it. Keep on enrich steemit with your great work.
Thank you @timcliff. This report helps me to understand what witnesses do to develop Steemit. I hope their work will make Steemit grows bigger.
I so appreciate your doing these. I'm learning so much from reading things like this. Partly I'm learning how much I still have to learn, because a lot of these reports I don't quite understand LOL. It's amazing all the things the witnesses do to keep things running around here.
Thanks to you all.
Glad to know you are too witness <3
@timcliff voted you as a witness <3
Wow!!! What a wonderful work, this will make it easier for people to know the efforts of the witnesses
