Witness Update #5 - 26/08/2017

Being a Steemit witness is not only running a witness server. You have to get involved with the community and try to make it a better place. Here are my actions since the last Witness Update:

I'm writing this update from Kalamitsi, Halkidiki, so it will be a little bit small. I'm on vacations, so I can be excused! :D

Witness Server & Actions

---

I'm still standing! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Server keeps going strong, very stable and very quiet! Thanks to your latest votes, I'm slowly climbing. I'm now standing at #119.

SBD Price

SBD Price is recovering. In fact it is now at $1.05/SBD. If the trend continues and it stabilises around $1 ($0.95-$1.05), I will be lowering my APR to 0.5%-1%, as it is no longer needed.

Steem Price

Steem price is also recovering, and I hope it will go a lot more higher as it will be a big win for all of us!

Steem/SBD Price controversy

There was a talk about the price and the APR in the witness channel. Poloniex was having constant maintenance and people were panic selling in order to get out of this exchange. Some witnesses were against having an APR raise. I was pro-raise.

Muse Blockchain

I'm currently ranked at #9 on the Muse Blockchain, and I'm constantly getting blocks. Muse is near to open for exchange on Open Ledger (at the time of writing this update), which will bring some attention to the network.
