Witness-Update: Everything is running smoothly
I've released my last Witness-Update over 14 days ago and thought it's time for a new one.
I'm currently at Rank #48 - which is amazing. And besides that - not much has happened.
Everything is running smooth. No missed blocks.
And I hope it stays like that.
But in the case of missing blocks, I've spend some time into creating a failover script (https://github.com/therealwolf42/witness-failover).
Which has the task of: monitoring for missed blocks. If missed => switch to backup node(s); missed again => disable witness.
The script has been running for the last few days after the release and besides some timeout errors - which happened a few times but were caught in an exception - everything seems good.
However, while I have tested it with other accounts who recently missed blocks - I still have to see if it works in case of emergency.
Now other than that, I've been very busy developing on my own project (I don't want to advertise it here ).
Who am I as a Witness?
And I've also realized one thing:
Every Witness is offering different skills for the STEEM-Ecosystem. While everybody should offer at least a basic amount of knowledge on how to run a secure witness node - some Witnesses are more about the social aspect of STEEM (not me) and some are more focused on the business/app-aspect (me).
I'm not saying that I don't care about the social interaction on STEEM - it's amazing how STEEM works in that area and how many people it connects.
But as an individual - my focus was always about entrepreneurship and the business-side of things and I see huge potential for that on STEEM.
I think I'll create a standalone post about that as well, but thought that it might be nice for you to know - as a reader (and voter) - to know a bit more about me and my intentions!
My Gratitude goes towards all of my Voters
Last but not least: I'm still very very glad that I made the decision to become a Witness.
And I'm extremely grateful for the support I received - so this goes out to all my voters!
Rank #48? How did you get that in a short time? Any advice for a new comer on the platform? By the way, I'm your 1452th follower. Any advice/tip would be appreciated a lot. Also, many congrats on achieving this milestone!
A big stakeholder in STEEM decided to vote on me - for which I'm extremely grateful. So you could say - I got a bit lucky :)
Sir, do I know why I have been blocked if I have a crime, please cancel the block

I did vote for 30 witnesses.
but I canceled it.
because the witness did not care about me.
now there are only 5 my witnesses.

and vote to me.
that is my goal from my witness.

Thank you for your vote @munawire!

you vote for a witness because they do good work for the blockchain as a whole not because the come and vote for your post. (even though they might)
Maybe he goes witness by witness threatening to undo the vote if they don't vote for him
Wow, @therealwolf, You're cracking this like a boss. See you in top 25. Very detailed witness report. Impressive work!
I voted for you as a witness, for now, I would love to see a post with a full explanation of your intentions as a witness and what do you do to improve Steem.
Waiting for it :)
Thank you @yairdd! And I have already created a detailed post: https://steemit.com/witness/@therealwolf/making-steem-greater-therealwolf-is-now-a-witness
