Witness Update - DragosRoua
Technical and Economical
- continued to subsidize, for the 15th week in a row, as the witness revenue is not matching the hardware expenses
- kept my both nodes, main and backup, running smoothly, with no missed blocks
- kept the block size at 65,535
- kept the registration fee at 3 STEEM
- kept the SBD interest at 0%
Community
Wrote a few posts related to the Steemit community:
- STEEM Broke (Again) Above 11k Satoshis, On Moderate Volume
- STEEM Breaking Above 14.5k Satoshis, On Significant Volume, Next Relevant Resistance At Around 19k Satoshis
The recent uptrend of STEEM is promising, as for a witness like me, it may indicate the beginning of a break-even period, meaning I won't have to subsidize anymore. Also, traditionally, the increase of price always generated new influxes of users and an overall growth of the platform. Let's see if this will be the case again.
At the moment, I am on the 64th position, same as last week.

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
Maybe we don't give enough credit to you guys for keeping this whole thing running. I didn't realize you were actually losing money on it every week.
Can the blockchain really last forever if people can't afford to host it?
Nope.
