Pennsif the Witness
After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.
I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness
If anyone would like to support what I already do, and what I am planning to do, by giving one of their 30 witness votes to @pennsif.witness I would be hugely grateful.
You can read my full witness announcement here...
@pennsif.witness has now reached #20. Thank you to everyone who has voted to help get to this position.

@remlaps continues to track the impact of Steemit's burnsteem25 campaign encouraging people to set a 25% beneficiary to @null to reduce the amount of STEEM, which potentially will increase its value.
In the past week there have been 952 burnsteem25 posts.
The total burnt since June has now reached 113K SP, 77K STEEM, and 909 SBD...
@remlaps has also produced a fun bar chart race of the top-20 accounts from each week by number of VESTS sent to @null in beneficiary rewards since last May...

Thank you - much appreciated.
you're welcome brother...
Hi, this is the translation to Spanish: https://steemit.com/hive-193637/@inspiracion/noticias-steem-26-de-enero-de-2023-soporte-booming-aplicaciones-abiertas
Gracias @inspiracion por traducir Steem News.
Buena sección de noticias, el programa de Booming ha sostenido a un gran número de usuarios que día a día crean contenido de calidad. Me alegra mucho que esten denuevo en busca de comunidades comprometidas
Con respecto a los nuevos requisitos de las comunidades, siempre pensé que una multifirma sería ideal para evitar el Power Down masivo de grandes cantidades de STEEM POWER comunitario, espero muchas comunidades apliquen y sigan construyendo su SP
Saludos y bendiciones amigo
Sí, MultiSig sería ideal para 'proteger' las cuentas comunitarias.
Hey @pennsif you might not remember me but I'm back to check out how are things on steem and the community. Could you please give me a summary or point me to one post that could be relevant to what has happened in say past 2-3 years lol
Hi Roberto
Yes I remember you in Costa Rica. You were connected with the tree project in Cameroon weren't you?
The two best places to catch up with events of the past couple of years would be @steemitblog posts, and my Steem News.
Contact me on Discord (Pennsif#9921) if you have any questions.
Pennsif
Exactly I've lost contact with @martin.mikes and I'm not sure about the progress in the project. @treeplanter was surely a nice project to be involved. I will try to see what I can do now in steemit.
I hope you manage to keep posting on Steem.
Are you still involved in any environmental projects?
Yes I'm but more hands on with the green team in the company I work for. I'm all in doing bee keeping and trying to save native stingless bees
Hope you can make some posts about the beekeeping.
I'm hoping to get started with keeping bees this year.
That is a good idea! I have been preparing my backyard to be able to sustain the new inhabitants
