Good work keep it up. If I may ask what is this witness in steemit, want to know. thanks

It's basically the people we vote for to validate transactions and ensure that everything that happens is recorded on the block chain. That's how I'd describe it anyway.

Witnesses have 3 roles:

  1. Technical
    As @albensilverberg stated, the main task for witnesses is to maintain a working node and to sign blocks that will be added to the blockchain.
  2. Financial
    Witnesses can tweak some financials parameters of the platform.
    For example, they have to regularly publish a price feed that allow to compute conversion between STEEM and SBD
  3. Social
    Witnesses are kind of ambassador for the blockchain and can promote it by either doing advertising/public relation or by developing tools that will help its adoption.

There are several posts on steemit that cover the witness roles in more details.

Some of these images appear broken?

For instance this one:

Fixed!

I appreciate the updates. The overall trend is up. I never worry too much about some of the downward spots. We all have lives outside of steemit. Stuff happens, people get sick etc so there will always be some ups and downs I suspect around certain holidays for example.

Where do you get the raw data? I would like to run some numbers...

Data are taken from the blockchain using SteemSQL

Great stats. Remember the first time I've heard about the steemit about a year ago I thought it will end in less than a year. Now I have a completely opposite opinion)
