    Thank you for giving us a shoutout to our witness.

    We feel sorry that bad turns of events forced your hand into making this hard decision. Witness or not, it's undeniable that @utopian-io is giving enormous value to the Steem ecosystem.

    It is with great hope that with you and your team's continued effort, Utopian.io may one day forge leave an impact that will be felt by the internet itself at large. We very much are behind the very idea that gave birth to utopian.io - rewarding open source contribution.

    Loosing the @utopian-io community witness is a big blow to the the whole Steem ecosystem. I'm deeply sorry that things have to take this turn for the worse.

    However, I would respect your decision to suspend the witness as i understand it is a large commitment of time and resources and we're not exactly in the best crypto times.

    Thank you for shouting out to other witnesses and giving them the well deserved attention.

    Utopian is doing something wonderful, and it is my hope that this project truly takes off and be THE platform for open source contribution. It's not an easy problem you and the team is trying to solve. Regardless, I have confidence that you and the team have what it takes to pull through.

    Running a witness is filled with technical challenges. You guys have done a reliable job for quite some time. I am certain you will be able to address the issues fairly quickly and return to functional form in very little time.

    I appreciate the plug for @stem.witness, @lemouth and I continue to work to keep it and our brodcast node in working order.

    Though recently all we do is lose support :(

    He and I are clearly not vocal enough... (hardly at all these days, everything in the shadows, must not inspire confidence).

    Thanks again. Best of luck.

    Hm, if you're currently struggling with funding, then the income from your witness is crucial. I understand that having your servers break down in this already stressful time, is far from optimal, but it happens.

    While I appreciate the update on your breakdown and your decisions on how to move on, my witness vote for you stays for the next week because I hope that you'll find the strength to setup new servers!

    If you need temporary help to set up the servers, then please let me know.

    I am strongly against taking the witness down. The witness is an important asset and a key element in the evolution of the project. If you need some help to set up the witness, I can put you in touch with the right people.

    Really sorry to read this and thanks for mentioning the @steempeak witness. I'll keep my vote for your witness active for a while in case you decide to resume it sooner than later.

    I fully understand the importance to focus on your main target at the moment, but maybe you can try to find a partnership that allows you to restart the witness delegating part of the maintenance it requires to someone else.

    It doesn't really make sense to not get the witness back up and running when you are in desperate need of funding. I'm not sure how much you get per day, but surely what you make from the witness is enough to keep it running and more? Very strange decision imo...

    Definitely thank you for the word about Actifit and the support!

    I must say though that it would be unfortunate for utopian to halt altogether the witness activity. I am not sure how available @helo is, but if not, there are many amazing witness gurus who could help quite well with getting the server out of its troubles and back in shape.
