WITNESS WEEKLY @ 5 November 2022
There has not been a lot of movement in the Top 20 over the last couple of weeks.
Just one new entrant, and some rearrangements in the lower half.
@pennsif.witness has made good progress. Both the Seed Node and the Full API Node are now up and running, and the witness has now climbed all the way up to #23.
The initial closing date for Steemit Inc's new $500K Development Incentive Program has now passed. News is eagerly awaited from the Community Developer Representatives of what proposals will be funded for development.
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...
Thank you.
The Current Top 20 Witnesses
There has only been one new entrant in the Top 20 since the last Witness Weekly. @alexmove.witness has swapped places with @steemit-market to take the #20 slot.
@justyy still holds the top spot, and @steemit-market is now holding the first reserve position at #21.
The only other movements have been rearrangements in positions #13 to #17. @bangla.witness has climbed to #13, and @xpilar.witness to #14. @steem-agora, @etainclub and @italygame have all subsequently dropped one or two places.
The current top 20 witnesses for the Steem Blockchain on 5 November 2022 are :

Becoming a Steem Witness, and moving up the rankings to #23, has given me a whole new perspective on the platform.
With developments like the $500K Steemit Development Incentive Program and the $1million investment plan recently announced by @hungry-griffin and @rme it does feel like Steem is poised at the beginning of a new renaissance.
It certainly is a good time to be a Steem Witness...
