Witness "pjau" Update Week 8
Hello everyone!
So my eighth week as a witness is over, my rank has increased this week. At the time of writing my full rank is #170 and my active rank is #131.
I've had no issues with the server, everything is running smoothly still. Since last weeks update I've produced 2 block and haven't missed any. I haven't changed any of my witness settings.
Outside of being a witness, I've put in 20.5 hours with @steemcleaners since last update, processed over 600 user reports and done a lot of Discord chat support. Phishing is back, only on the small side though. Let's keep it under control!
I've also made a start on my boinger.io website, I've setup my STEEM betting game LuckyBet on there. So please check that out! It was a fun little project to make, I've learnt a lot. I have more projects planned for the future. :D
Anyway, I think that is all for this weeks update! :)

I'm happy to have voted for you, pjau!
That's good to hear 😁
So, it looks like everything went smoothly last week. However, my guess this week there's been some trouble with the whole blockchain freezing up. Looks like you're back up and running though. Earlier when I checked, you were still in the yellow.
I hope it wasn't too much of a process to get things going again.
I'm glad to hear you moved up some in the rankings.
Yeah I was up as it started messing up. Was waiting for a patch but it was like 5am and I was getting tired. Lol so woke up patch was ready. Disabled witness. 3 hrs later was done and ready to go again. 😃
Seems like that was relatively fast. You didn't have to replay the entire blockchain then? I guess there weren't any blocks to be missed, right? I read a comment saying something about missed blocks, but if there weren't any blocks being produced, how could they be missed?
Anyway, glad to see everything is back up and running.
I use steem in a box and when you set it up originally you can download a file with a chunk of the blockchain, so it speeds it up a bit. It still needs to replay it all though. People probably missed blocks once the patch had been done and taken majority. Anyone still active would still be queued up but would miss due to being on an older version.
Edit: I should also add, not everyone needed to replay, unfortunately I had to.
Okay. Well it seemed like someone was mentioning it was going to take 15 hours or something like that and I thought they had fixed it so it wouldn't have to take so long. Maybe they didn't have the same set up or hadn't upgraded or something.
Okay. So, it would be whoever was slated to catch a block at the time of start up and whether or not they were ready to go with the block.
I love seeing that picture of your dog every week. Such a good idea.
Oh, I started adding personalized quotes to the end of some of my comments.
"Little dogs are better than big dogs because their bites don't hurt as much. I recommend not touching them though, just in case they grow into big dogs and bite you."

lol yeah.
He thinks he's a big dog already :p
Heh, that's ok. Just give him a treat and he'll be happy. :)

So the steemcleaners running around downvoting people who post very valuable content.
That way they discourage people who bring valuable content to the blockchain.
The reason they say is it is spam.
Or copied stuff.
They then go along and provide a link to a website that originally 'spammed' or stole the content. providing advertisement for a real stealer or spammer while downvoting the guy who with best intent and really valuable information.
Could someone here clear up for me what this service is good for?
If you read the news there is a 99% chance that you read what they call 'spam'. If u watch news in the tv they all get their information from other sources but from the original source, no? Heck the husband of my mother is a shark at Reuters (the biggest and most trusted news service around germany), you can read articles from them in every trusted newspaper. He has 16 journalists below him. And u know what he writes? He flies to the usa where atleast three newspaper speakers have to say the same thing until he finally can take that and translate it into german. And then they sell this information as their own to every newspaper there is in germany. Thats journalism. And as long as it is valuable information they would never be downvoted. They are not even downvoted if its bullcrap. But besides that, what is not copied nowadays? Dude u fuckin copy every letter you use!
I copy things because they provide the information i want to give the people. And if someone else finds better words for it than i do i will take it and spread it.
In my case there doesnt even exist an original source. The original source was german and i have searched for an english translation. And i took it from a site which already stole that information.
Now lets see what this service brings to the steem community.
It encourages people to rewrite the article to then sell it as their own. (Making them real thieves from my point of view, putting criminal energy in it to make someone elses work their own. So ironically they encourage things they pretend to fight)
Downvote people who have good intentions providing valuable content.
And on top of that being a motherfucker if someone go to their discord channel to get this removed.
In my opinion this service provides nothing but negativity.
This is 1:1 acting like the cabal. The elite, the state, gov, how ever you want to call them, those who steal hundreds of billions of dollars from humanity. Those who are responsible for the worst things in this world. Infact the worst this planet has to offer.
They are the reason blockchain is so profitable. They are the reason for artificially holding down the cryptoprices. They are infact responsible for more than 90% of suffering in this world.
Now tell me what positive effect does this have for steem? I can see none.
Running around downvoting people cuz 'they copied' and by that spamming (which is a lie to give his service attention). Dude u copied every fuckin letter! And i bet quite a lot this service is already copied from somewhere else. People who are able to invent something can think a little further than this guy.
Sad that a bunch of no-brainers follow this idiot and downvote people with the best intentions in mind. Something like this must be stopped. It is what makes the world a bad place. It suppresses valuable information! If we would listen to that guy we would not know whatsup in the world. Cuz u know we cant 'copy' the information provided by the venezuelian news so people in germany know whatsup there. Oh and... where do the venezuelian news become their informations? Is the supposed to be original source even from them? I bet its not from the news speaker himself! What a copy rat who should be downvoted! Gosh i can go on all day... pls pls pls someone tell me the positive side of that 'service'...(besides filling the pockets of those who run this service)
