Home again – a witness update
This last month I was traveling together with @suesa visiting many steemians and seeing a lot of europe in the process. Today I am finally coming home again, with a new outlook and the motivation to post more on this blog. If you want updates, kindly follow @suesa-random as there will be a daily travel diary starting tomorrow.
I am still one month to go for my bachelor thesis and this next month will consist of a lot of writing. So when I write anyway, I can also do it for steem too. We have a hard fork and many changes where I can post about my stance as a witness. And generally happened a lot in the last months.
BuildTeam has published the new SteemVoter Beta and we are ironing out the last bugs, testing it under load and adding new features as users find a need for them. We are also reworking our rpc infrastructure and have many changes in that department. And as always we have many new cool things that are soon to be released. But I will keep quiet about them for now.
I will soon update my witness to appbase as it seems to have stabilized with the newest bug fixes and will try out and review the hard fork 20 codebase to be ready for the fork. If you have any topics concerning HF20 that I should write about, drop me a comment or mention me anywhere, I am always available for questions in german and english.
I started a curation guild that I plan to extend over time and am still looking for those awesome people that fit exactly my taste. I am rather too picky than not picky enough so don't be discouraged if my guild is not voting you. You can always create your own and curate the people you like. Maybe I like your selection and trail that. Or other whales jump on it.
The crypto correction and generally low prices have us all somewhat sad and slow. In my opinion this is the best time to become active and to show you still care about steem, regardless of price. I don't have a big bank account to buy crypto with but if I had, right now is the time to buy more. People like @dhenz got it right in my opinion: https://steempeak.com/steemit/@dhenz/why-i-bought-250k-steem-during-the-dip-and-just-getting-started
I am writing this through the @steempeak interface with the new scheduled post function while I am in the train so my reactions might be delayed by bad internet. But I could not resist having a go at cool features that I wanted for decades ;) I recommend you try out their interface, it rocks.
Welcome back; hope you enjoyed the trip!
I like what you're doing with the curation guild and letting people front-run it. That, and what you said in another comment here about not having plans to power down... it shows forward thinking, which is arguably the most important quality in a witness. More confirmation that my vote is well-placed.
Sounds familiar. I'm buying and powering up what I can, but I could really use a sudden inheritance from a forgotten dead relative or something.
Well, I'm as active as I've always been, so I hope that counts for something. Nah. I really do need to improve in that regard. It recently occurred to me that I have spent a lot of time in Steem-related chats, discord channels, and other things... but my posts are like 2 weeks apart and even my comments are few and far between. I'm starting to work on that and hopefully I will keep improving.
Hey muffin how much do you earn from this witness thing (no offence),
I have seen alot of people trying to get into this witness league...what is the deal about it
All data about witness earning is public:
Technically I am loosing money as I don't plan on powering down my SP in any foreseeable future.
But like @fbslo said all witness rewards are pretty much public on the Blockchain and @steemchiller created steemworld.org which compiles all that reporting.
I am doing very good witness wise recently. I don't have the really big votes, but many small voters bring me almost into top 30.
Being a witness for the profit is not something I particularly like and I would not suggest it if that is your driving motivator. I am a witness to keep the network that I invest so much time in stable. I would do it without the rewards. I never expected them to happen but people seem to trust my witness capabilities.
Hmmm that reminds me I gotta go see if I’m voting for you, I get lazy with witness votes even for people who I support :(
Yes ,i do know that...
Great personalities always earn respect....
Stay tuned mate
Wow this brings back when i back home again. There are lots of memories for me when I visited Taiwan. I still have a lot of friends who live there. I'd love to go back and visit. I've been there at least . Thanks for share.
Wish you all the best for your bachelor thesis.
Great! This is also my opinion =)
Have a nice day!
All the best out of the van

I agree about staying active during these lull times. Trying to gather some SP and recognition!
@reggaemuffin, Good luck for your Travel Time, and yes sometimes we miss the postings because life holds many aspects and sometimes we need break for sure.
And i hope and wish that you will going to meet many effective Steemians and also going to have an productive and fun travel times. Most importantly fun aspect is important in life.
Yes, sometimes we need the Motivation aspect to continue in life, and when we get the motivation we have to take the step towards our idea, then for sure we will going to get the effective results.
In current phase Crypto Sphere is facing crisis but we know that it will going to bounce back. And particularly we have amazing updates for the Steem Economy. So let's hope for the best.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
Will be glad to see more posts coming from you Reggae! I have come to appreciate your particular take on the happenings around STEEM and the fact that you are in it for the platform, not for powering down!
All the best with your thesis! I know that can be a really stressful time! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Thanks for the kind words!
