Hello everyone,
I have been thinking running a witness in the last weeks, today I made it real. If you read this post and have no idea what is a witness, check out the related section on Steemit FAQ.
About myself
My name is Emre, a software developer from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been programming since high school which makes almost 12 years experience with programming languages. I currently lead a software development team in a B2B hotel provider company - biggest in Turkey.
I bought my first Bitcoin on 2014 and I am active on the scene since then. I have been studying blockchain technologies for a long time.
My contributions to STEEM
It has been 5 months since I have joined Steem network. I have been developing my own projects, contributing to others. There are just too many projects to list there, so I will just list some of them :)
An alternative activity feed for STEEM accounts. It has currently 200 daily unique users visiting the website. You can also see your potential earnings in SBD, SP, and USD.
I am running a steem-python fork with the fixes included and installable via pip.
Curobot is a personal curation bot, intended as the replacement of Steemvoter. You can get the same functionality (even more) without giving away your account's posting authorities.
I have documented steem-python with practical examples. Even, I go back and check these articles from time to time.
I have originally found the utopian tip bot's idea and implemented it. It's been serving without any problems for months.
I have automated lots of things at Utopian Discord for moderators. Probably we have saved countless hours of manual work in total after these bots came in place.
Page views at Steemit can indicate lots of things and used as a metric. However, getting that information programmatically was a challenge. I made a simple API giving that metric for posts.
I have also coded @abusereports' initial code in exchange of a bounty. However, I continue to give support and co-run it.
This is not all, I was like a project machine in the last couple of months. You can see more at my Github profile.
My Witness Server Specs
I have one witness server for now.
64x GB RAM
4 CORE Intel i7 CPU
2x2 TB HDD
1gbit/s network
If I go up on the list and start to get multiple blocks in a day, I will also open a backup witness server with automatic failover.
Vote for me as a witness!
- Via steemit.com.
- Via SteemConnect.
Am I the only one thinking it's totally inappropriate to do self-promoting through spamming people with 0.001 steem transfers?

Indeed, I upvoted my own comment to make it visible as the top comment. It's cheeky and I don't do it often (and when I do it, I usually spend only 1% voting power to make my comment above most of the spam-comments, but still allowing others to curate the comments).
On Steem, people are quite concerned to come with criticism or opposing views, and there is an abundance of complimenting comments (for quite some of them it's even obvious that the complimenter didn't even care to read the article). At one hand, it's nice that open conflicts, ad-hominems, flag-wars and bitter arguments are rather rare at this platform, at the other hand I do think there is too few discussion going on. It may lead to echo-chamber effects and circle-jerking, where most people only bother reading things they agree on and avoid reading and commenting on things they disagree on. I find it very healthy when the most visible comment is a constructive criticism rather than the ordinary dull "great job!", "nice article!", etc.
In this case I felt that the spam was inappropriate and hence some kind of reaction was appropriate - like leaving a comment at the top of the article linked to.
Seeing the replies it seems like I'm quite alone on the opinion that this is "inappropriate spam". Either that, or out of all the people thinking it's "inappropriate spam", I was the only one actually bothering to follow it up.
Yes, inactive voters is most likely a problem, but I don't see the "wallet spam comments" making people much aware of it.

Great points! I like this spam as I only look at 10% or less and the little money sent adds up! Imagine if they used a bot to send to all 1 million accounts, would cost 1,000 sbd or my decimal off?

probably you’re not the only one. Thanks for speaking out loudly and giving your input.
My promo script works like this:
There are a couple more checks (one memo for one user, etc.)
I do it because witness voting is underrated on the network. @freedom and a few whales decides which witness should be on top50.
More minnows, mote dolphins vote - than we have a healthy network about witnesses.
I am sorry you feel kinda spammy about me however I am doing it for the awareness.

That may be a valid point, it's nice to bring around some awareness. Anyway, I've delegated my witness votes but still got spammed.

Hello, @emrebeyler!! I've seen you have developed several things for utopian platform and partners. I have a question rounding my mind since a while. Why if utopian have a great platform where you can search for almost any information of the utopian posts, is Steemit left to only have good info about the 7 day monetization posts. Lots of good quality information, documents and opinions are lost. A researcher have to forget to search in here or have to search with random results with the google tool. I'm always questioning everyone I see could have some answer to this. I understand utopian have the best of the best of the developers, and their platform is growing fast in options, reputation and steem-pool rewards. Why is not doing so the Steem platform in general?
In the other hand, I will vote for you for your other projects, there´s a lot to learn in your steem-phython tutorials and other oportunities to grow!!!
All the best in the journey!!!
