RE: SteemWorld Update ~ Surviving The Bear Market
I use a dedicated server, which I need to pay for anyway, so there cannot be a loss on my side. If the current price should stay for longer, I would need to make a powerdown again, which I want to avoid as long as I can, because it could kill me completely and all the time I've spent on Steem would have been for nothing.
Therefore I think with the witness node I can add a bit of extra rewards to my wallet for the worst case scenario. SPS rewards rely on huge whale votes, so it is not a guaranteed source of income. I need to get 7.5 M SP votes... ^^
Nevertheless I have planned to make a proposal soon. First, I need to make sure that I can survive.
You probably will receive a lot more support than you think you would.
One of the first rules of being a witness is not to run any other software on your witness box.
I see no problem in that, because I created an extra user for that and the other part of the system does not have access to the files.
Sounds like someone wants to prevent me from being a witness :)
I have requested you to use #steemleo tag. #steemleo is one of the most successful tribes and holding its value among the tribe tokens. I would love to support your project with 10 LEO (almost one Steem) upvote weekly. I have plan for buing more LEO too. I believe there will be more upvotes from the #steemleo community.
I encourage you to start your witness server.
No, I want to prevent you from being a witness for the wrong reasons.
I personally rather see you do an SPS proposal, I would personally vote it.
I would vote for it too.
Publish your Witness server and count my vote to you.
Cheers.
I am just going spit this as a maybe ok?
I agree at the security and quality of service level to @gtg and @themarkymark, simply because I have been there too and I am an Infrastructure person, so I know what can go wrong, especially when you are at that level, where your position is relatively secure in the 21 TOP.
At the same time, I love your determination and your software. Just like I enjoy the quality of @jesta that is now focused on EOS (not here to judge where anyone should be).
So, why shouldn't witnesses, in general, help each other here? I know everyone's business is everyone's own problem, but @steemchiller has more than proven to be an awesome developer. Maybe negotiate resources? Or something else... I mean, if you talk to each other, would that hurt (I have actually seen some situations where that actually happened, but those guys were crazy anyway...)?
It would hurt me to see @steemchiller work motivation go away on STEEM. Along with him, many influenced ones will go too... I am guessing (maybe I am wrong).
An SPS is a right path in my view too @steemchiller. And maybe to secure your immediate situation, negotiate with two obvious worried witnesses, @gtg and @themarkymark. =)
I will continue to do my own thing... small but does not cost me anything besides the time that I am happy to give away until I can. It's a personal thing to me, so I do care also, even not having the resources (for now) to support a Witness, mostly because of the same problem many have, which is to justify the effort+real costs of a server.
