Witness Update - DragosRoua
Technical and Economical
- upgraded my witness node to a more powerful machine, in a more accessible colocation facility. The upgrade went smoothly, and the node is running fine, with no missed blocks
- kept my price feed bias, at 0% - SBD is trading at $0.89, and it lost the peg
- lowered my SBD APR at 1% - in an attempt to bring SBD back to the peg
- kept the account registration fee at $1 (I use a script called steem witness toolbox, available for free on Github, for publishing the feed price and adjusting a few blockchain props)
- kept the block size at 65,536
Community
- decided to join the SteemFest Hackathon, on November 1st, in Lisbon
- continued the series of educational posts about SMT (Smart Media Tokens), here are all 4 episodes (if there will be more demand and if the white paper will still hide untranslated gems, I will follow up with more)
-- How To Deploy Your Own Smart Media Token On The Steem Blockchain - The SMT White Paper Series, Ep. One
-- The Role Of Automated Market Makers For Smart Media Tokens - The SMT White Paper Series, Ep. Two
-- Smart Media Tokens Use Cases, Caveats And Limitations - The SMT White Paper Series, Ep. Three
-- How To Run Your Own ICO On The Steem Blockchain - The SMT White Paper Series, Ep. Four - warned the members of the community about a phishing scam going on on Steemit, which was fortunately shut down very fast
- assisted with information during Steemit DDoS attack and suggested alternative ways of posting
- announced that steem.city is on hold, focusing on other projects
- started to configure my second Steem-dedicated machine, a content node (primarily for steem.supply)

If you're new to Steemit, you may find these articles relevant (that's also part of my witness activity to support new members of the platform):
I'll see you in Lisbon. I may miss the hackathon, but I hope some cool projects come out of it
@dragosroua,
Still don't know what is the value of witness thread! If you can explain it I think it might be a great help for most of us!
Cheers~
A witness thread, or regularly posting about your witness activities, helps the community to evaluate your involvement and benefits to the community. Because you voted for me, I'm accountable, and I report on my activities constantly. Ideally, you should vote only witnesses who are updating their witness thread.
@dragosroua,
Got it fiend! Thank you! But any other financial benefits from it?
Cheers~
You are putting in some serious work my friend. Im sure going to steemfest will do a lot for your witness standing. Looks like it will be an awesome time in Lisbon
