Witness in Memes
1. What is a Steem Witness?
Witness is the keeper of Steem blockchain. They run and maintain Steem blockchain, they provide servers that run the Steem blockchain and provides price feed for Steem and SBD. Without witnesses, there will be no Steem / SBD / Steemit.
2. Witness also provides initiative / project
Helpful apps, projects, and communities are run and maintained by witnesses.
3. Vote our witnesses
Voting the witnesses enabling them to get some block rewards. They need the rewards to cover the server monthly fee and all the fees for the project / initiative they provide.
4. How to vote?
Voting a witness is an easy thing to do, as easy as 123:
- Go to https://steemit.com/~witnesses
- Login using your “Private Active Key”
- Scroll down until you see the “Vote Box”, type the name there, and click “Vote”.
Done. Repeat step 3 for other witnesses.
5. Whom to vote?
Some witnesses support multiple projects, which make them like “superheroes” on Steemit. I’ll list several witnesses here that I’ve known. This is of course not the complete list and I may accidentally miss some of them, please mention them in the comment if you’ve found other great witnesses. In alphabetical order for the projects and the name list, the witnesses are:
- https://www.esteem.ws/ Android & iOS apps for interacting with Steem blockchain.

That was cute, and thanks for mentioning @youarehope!
Additional Witness:
@lukestokes.mhth, the witness account of Luke Stokes. He is doing the weekly "Exchange Transfer Report". It is a comprehensive report of which account has the biggest withdraw, biggest deposit, along with the exchanges Steemians use, etc. Indirectly, this could also be used to gauge how many liquid Steem and SBD out there for the market to "manipulate".
@valorforfreedom is the witness behind http://www.steemschool.net/episodes/. I purposely link to the directory here for you to see directly all the free lessons provided to all of us. It is a must read for all newcomers and those wanting to get ahead in Steemit.
P.S. I'm waiting for the Witness account of @danielsaori in the coming weeks. ☺
Thank you very much for the recommendation Liberviarum.
i love how you used the memes to explain in a easy way all the witness thing, minnows always get confused but this is a excellent way!
This was the most entertaining post about witnesses I have ever seen! Great work!
Oh. How can I forget to list you up there? Wait, I'll edit it, and put your name above.
Your SteemBotTracker is a lifesaver. I've been using it for several times. Yes, some users just hit the last seconds, but without SBT, we are flying blind here. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you, glad you like the site and I appreciate your support!
Thanks for including me! If you ever need to chat about witness-y stuff my door is always open.
hahhahhaha those memes :D, this is a giant post, awesome <3.
This is a great post, well done!
Thanks for making learning fun! Great post.
