It's been an epic journey over 11 long articles, but I believe we've succeeded in our goal: We've produced a true from-scratch course which will take someone who doesn't know the difference between Linux and a lightbulb, and turn them into a Steem Witness.

@freelance.monkey and myself (@rexthetech) had so much fun that somewhere along the way, SteemWOW was born!

Our own witness node is happily running, and we were so delighted to see our first block come in overnight while at witness rank #128 🚢

If you consider yourself a tech newbie, but still yearn to become a witness, this may be the series for you (and if not, tell us why and we'll fix it)!

Table of Contents

Part 1: We need a big computer!
Part 2: Connecting to the server
Part 3: Securing the server (see also Passwords: A Rant)
Part 4: Enabling certificate authentication
Part 5: Downloading the blockchain
Part 6: Unpacking the blockchain and configuring Steem
Part 7: Starting and syncing Steem
Part 8: Witness responsibilities
Part 9: Generating witness keys
Part 10: Witness Up!
Part 11: Publishing the Price Feed

Super interesante, definitivamente me leer esto. Gracias por esta recopilación.

I will be a witness too. I will start preparing while studying the article left by @rexthetech.

私も証人になります。@rexthetech さんが残してくれた記事を勉強しながら、これから準備を始めていきます。
