This little buddy right here is what's getting wiped clean and built from the ground up to begin my endeavor into node/witness node territory.

SAY HI!

Follow myself ( @matt-a ) and @robrigo so see what we're up to and what progress we make.

Feel free to ask questions, give input, etc.

I wish I knew what you are talking about but I will say HI and learn.

Hi Lakshmi! It can be a bit confusing if you aren't into the technical side of all of this, but you can understand the underlying technology if you would like to! You can read the white paper at www.steem.io and check out this post for more information about what I'm talking about: https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@steemed/become-a-steem-witness-essentials

It's a lot to wrap your head around if you aren't an active participant in the IT world, but anyone can get into it if they would like to. It just takes effort :-).

Thanks for commenting!

Make sure you have the most current documentation, that setup guide is pretty old. I would also suggest setting up the witness on another account for security reasons.

For sure, but it seems to be a good starting point. Everything is setup at this point, but yeah, definitely need to make a separate account and all of that. Right now I'm in "toy," mode pretty much. Testing waters and all of that. I want to be fully in tune with it.
