My Understanding On What Witnesses Are All About

---

---

Witnesses are individual or corporate bodies that secure, protect and gives proper validation series of transactions on the blockchain. Moreso, they strike a balance on the general stability of network preventing the blockchain from hackers who tend to portray fradulent practices on the blockchain.

Furthermore, witnesses are vested with power to create blocks on steem blockchain, and also approve transaction too. They must therefore ensure that an updated record of all blockchain transactions are intact. Witnesses Re chosen by the patriotic veto power of users who vote them, there are also some special prerequisite too, as a reward witnesses earn STEEM for producing a block.

Role Of Witness In the Steem Blockchain

---

• Witnessess vote on legislative proposals on the blockchain, such as website upgrade, software enhancing, and other sophisticated instruments for block production, providing contribution in decision making and financial improvement of the network.

• Witnesses provide secure encryption, ensuring potentiality and integrity on the blockchain, which aids users confidence and boosts trust in the process, ensuring it's growth and sustainability to stand the taste of time.

How Witness Are Elected In the Steem Blockchain

---

Witnesses are not randomly selected but rather elected as the steemit community tends to cast votes for top 30 witnesses in order to ascertain top winners. There is a daily routine check on the witnesses to make sure the top 20 witnessess assume responsibility on the blockchain. It is an automated process and does not occur manually.

The voting process is conducted by every member of the blockchain and elected witnesses assume office to carry out executive duties of providing encrypted security, block processing and addressing leading emerging issues on the STEEM blockchain.

The power of the blockchain is vested on users as they have right to ensure who is in a witness position as a slack in position, a witness can be replaced due to veto power vested on the steem populace.

A crucial prerequisite for voting witnesses most times is not just position if witness but just be the execution of duties rather to please the greater populace of steemit.

Voters on the blockchain has great power to decide witnesses, there can be a vote of no confidence cast to impeach or replace a present witness too. The Steemit relies on users vote for witnesses they trust as being beneficial to everyone.

Reasons We Need To Choose Witnesses

Choosing a Witness is of great import as witnesses act as firewall against cyber attack, while carrying out duties of keeping block Hain running to function properly.

Witnesses are elected by the steemit users, therefore there is need for elect right witnesses who tend to have usees at heart to ensure the bring out the best of interests thereby growing the blockchain.

Witnesses are also great pivot of the blockchain as they produce blocks, provide encrypted security, creating new blocks too, therefore the right witness should always be reinstated as it remains a function of how successful the blockchain would always be.

In Summary, choosing the right witness can provide security settle inflation rate, enacting positive proposals and good governance strategies respectively can foster the positive growth and proper functioning of the whole process.

Pennsif.witness provides several support to projects like community contests, he participates fully on the blockchain making good positive reviews and answering questions from users on the blockchain. He is a great idol other witnesses must need to emulate.

The Pennsif.witness provides information on STEEM blockchain helpful tutorials for newbies too and lots more on how to build young authors on the STEEM blockchain. Voting @pennsif.witness is a giant stride I am ever going to be proud of! I support hardwork, deligence, and good spirit. I therefore participate in these activities to promote steem growth on the platform.
