Thanks for this! I have been a witness for more than 2 years. In the all time, I always keep no sounds because I'm not good at asking voters for support. I think talking is cheap, doing more work is better.

My foucus is on the witness/api node building. I always give supporting in CN community about the witness/api node building. I also run two full api nodes, https://api.steem.fans and https://steem.61bts.com . These two nodes will give CN community more speed experience. Recently, I also built a new file server https://files.steem.fans to store the mira version node of the backup data to improve the recovery speed of the node.

I also wrote some tools, like SteemEditor, SteemTools, SteemLightDB(Not maintain anymore).

After Hive chain forked, I joined Steemit inc. and now I'm an employee of Steemit inc. as a developer. My work is focus on the steemit.com 's frontend part.

Next I'm planing to rewrite the Steem Docker and SteemConnect in my freetime.

Ask me anything or if you need anything, just ask. Thanks~

Hi @xpilar! I'm quite busy with installing a new server and transferring part of the SteemWorld backend to it. Yesterday one of my servers crashed and I had a hard time last night to recover it, but I was able to get the backend temporarily running again (without the old follower history data for now). The new server will replace that one when all is done in the coming days, because it has a bit more power than the old one (which will then become a simple Steem seed node to further support the network).

As on that server there also was a local Steem node running when it crashed, the rocksdb databases got corrupted and I need to replay the whole blockchain (or if possible start from the last checkpoint). This was not really what I had planned to do for the week, but in the developer/witness world there is sometimes no choice and one needs to act very quickly.

If someone should have any witness related questions, he can just reply to this comment and I will try to answer later ;)

marcosdk (70) · 5 years ago (edited)

Thanks @xpilar!

It is my pleasure to have been summoned to this edition of #talkchannel. I am Witness since a very short time and I appreciate all support that the community offers me with their votes. Since I arrived to Steem a year and a half ago, I have tried to help users with my experience as a teacher in the world of computer science. Publishing tutorials, videos and attending to doubts on my Discord server. I also work in several projects as a software developer. My main project, the video game "Rada Quest" is being developed outside of Steem due to the need for NFT (Non Fungible Tokens), FT (Fungible Tokens) and NTT (Non-Transferrable Tokens), not yet available on Steem. I look forward to learning a lot about this token technology to help in its implementation in Steem. I think it is very necessary for Steem users to be able to have NFT and it is my desire to collaborate in making that possible.

Due to the exit from Steem of the Hispanic Witness (Cervantes) some members of the Hispanic community have asked me if I am the "Hispanic Witness" because I am Spanish. In my opinion it is the community who must choose their Witness and I will be willing to listen to the requests that come to me. It is true that my intention is to work to recover and strengthen Hispanic capital on the blockchain.

I am also doing Social Promoter work on different social networks, both to publicize the Steem community and to recruit new investors and/or content creators.

I am at your disposal if you want to ask me any questions and don't forget to vote me as your witness!😉

note
Please, I encourage you to remove votes for disabled Witnesses to avoid missing blocks and improve Steem Blockchain performance https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses

Hi @marcosdk.
thank you for the meeting to share with us here, I as a beginner certainly never understand about witnesses, therefore we really need guidance from witnesses steem, especially for beginners at steemit.

Here are some things I want to ask:

The extent of the Witness's role in steemit for beginners.
Please give me a little information about witnesses who are no longer active in steem so that I can choose other witnesses.
Can witnesses be a curator for beginners at Steemit ?, Because many beginner writers don't get the attention of great people at Steemit, even though they have a lot of good work.

for the time being this is the only question I ask, hopefully there is a satisfying answer. And this question can be answered by all witnesses.
thanks.
Best regard @muftii

marcosdk (70) · 5 years ago (edited)

These are very interesting questions. It deserves an explanation in detail, but I will try to summarize the answer here.
It is necessary to understand that the main role of a witness a technical role. Our main function is to keep the blockchain running and ensure its viability thanks to the decentralization of our different nodes.
Second, we are developers in most of cases and we must meet the needs of the community by improving and creating tools that make the user experience more comfortable and practical.
These functions take up a lot of time and have a high economic cost due to the necessary infrastructure. Many witnesses must use the Steem earned for their work to pay for their system expenses. For this reason, there may be curator witnesses, but it is not normal. In most cases, witnesses who can afford to accumulate SP act as "passive" curators, that is, following a curation trail.
Fortunately, Steem has a very varied ecosystem and there are other roles more focused on curanting and supporting beginners, such as this "World of Xpilar" community or other projects such as @steemingcurators

Regarding the deactivated witnesses. Steem is a living and changing ecosystem. There are witnesses who stop working because they don't have the time or resources to keep the blockchain. Others deactivate their nodes because they start projects elsewhere. All witnesses, present and past, continue to appear on the list and can continue to receive votes, even if they no longer perform functions. Users should be responsible for checking whether the witnesses they support continue to do their job to decide whether to hold or withdraw their vote.

Hi @marcosdk it is nice to see you around here and recently I am seeing you everywhere, you are very active and while interacting with @steemitblog activities saw your name very often. There is a big Hispanic community and I believe they really miss a leader. Also thank you for pointing to the witnesses that are disabled, we also need to look through and make sure that we have updated our ones.

Thank you for coming and speaking here, @stef1

marcosdk (70) · 5 years ago

Thank you. I have always been quite active although perhaps not as visibly as now. I have set out to continue creating educational content for the Hispanic community and I will be happy to respond to requests and help organize a new community if required.

@marcosdk ..Thanks so much for this information. I am going to remove my vote from all the disabled witnesses and vote in some new ones. You are the first new one I am giving my vote right away.

The Steem ecosystem is at the critical point where it needs represents who are going to add value to it greatly for the purposes of increasing the value of steem and making the ecosystem a better, comfortable and enjoyable platform for engagement.

Hi @xpilar and the great community guys.

I started to run witness and seed node ~3 month ago. Yeah, exactly after the Hive fork. I tried several times to offer a lite fuli api node. Unfortunately it's very unstable and the service is discontinued.

Quit busy these days in this covid-19 hard time. I used to build websites with PHP/JavaScript which sounds legacy in crypto world.

I hope I can bring some tools or a new dapp for the Steem community when I get time. I am learning python and NLP(nature language processing)

Steem On. Peace and Love

Thank you for hosting weekly talk channel round. I think for many of us it is really something we do not really understand the role of Witness of course we see some and seldom the others, would be great to see that those people are there. I can imagine though that they must also be very busy and have no time.
