Steemit should be build with strong foundations, witnesses are part of this foundation.
Judge for yourself if @pfunk deserves your witness vote, he certainly got mine.

Haha if I knew you were going to make this post I would have put more effort into my presentation ;) Thank you for your vote gord0b!
Something I'd like to add is that I've been running at least one node constantly since I started mining in April. Since the first vote for witness I received I have not missed one hardfork, and have missed 38 blocks in total according to https://steemd.com/witnesses. Missed blocks are inevitable and I think 38 is relatively low.
If you'd like to know more about witnesses and what exactly they do for Steem, I wrote a guide for you!

Awesome pfunk - you are a star. Thanks for that guide, i just took a browse through and very informative. Not everyone has what it takes to become a witness, investing time, hardware & effort - keep it up.

You have my vote too!
I've been trying out Mining - let's see how it goes.
I'd love to see a story from you about what it takes to move from miner to witness.

I tested out mining last week, took a while to get the blockchain downloaded properly, for some reason, but was easy enough to setup. In chatting with @pfunk, does not seem to be much profit in mining though.

Steem Mining is still a bit of a mystery. Perhaps experienced miners like @pfunk can set the record straight.
It took me 30 hours to find a block @ 40 KH/s. No idea how the rewards are credited though!

Yeah it is a mystery, i gave up after a couple of hours, finding zero blocks. I think the higher a witness, the quicker the block rewards

Witness votes will give you the chance (based on the stake of your voters) to produce a block without being in the mining queue. When you have witness votes it is an expectation that you will keep your server running and up to date.

Also, I'm curious, @punk, what kind of hardware do you have?

It's a dedicated Xeon E5 v3 server, currently 16 GB of memory and easily expandable to 128 GB.

I think we should promote less self promotion and more good - make for a better platform and society
