I kinda understood what a witness was but not really. This article and your other one https://steemit.com/witness-category/@jerrybanfield/steem-witness-basic-training cleared it up for me, thanks. I didn't know that anyone could become one, and I'm definitely going to get started as one asap. I did some network maintenance in high school for my school so setting up a Linux server should be exciting.

Also, I mentioned you in one of my recent posts on the pros and cons of using a username vs. real name on Steemit. You're a great example of someone who's name makes you feel more personal and memorable. Would love it if you checked it out!
