I'm just getting started on steem, I have you to thank for that. I have a boat for sale and when when it sells I plan to invest the sale price directly into steem power. I wish I could make it to Nashville on such short notice but I can't. I hope you have a blow up crowd and you end up needing two conference rooms. I hope very much that you farewell through the hurricane. My prayers are with Florida. If I were there I think one of the things I would like to know more about is witness votes, maybe you can do a post to clear those up for us? I had a hard time getting signed up it took awhile to get confirmed and then there was a lack of funding in the @Steem account they refilled it and it emptied right back out goes to show how many new people are coming on bored so I can't complain too much. this is only the second post I've ever commented on. I noticed that at least on my Android unless you have the browser set to full screen on your phone the reply button goes MIA; so if anybody is having trouble starting a new comment thread the reply button only shows up on mobile Chrome when you have it full screen or landscape; Hope that helps somebody.

PostScript follow up: how come my reputation score is rising even though I haven't posted my introduction yet? How is that calculated?
