Glad to be voting you as witness. Will check @coingecko and see how I can contribute.

On the long-term, again I'd recommend getting Steem implemented on the Tau network in the future to solve this problem. I will be writing more about this in due time when Tau has a functional MVP to show.

for some reason I fee this will be great for steem as an asset and a blockchain. Thanks for being a true leader

Thanks @mistakili.

Yes I feel the same way too about the combo, especially after looking into its technicalities and potential. I hope it works out, or I'm the crazy one here! ;)

I’ve voted you a witness but this guy you mentioned here ( @bitrocker2020) is absolutely new to me, so it feels good to me to also vote him a witness too considering the testimony you gave about him, this is one of the ways we can support each other in building a stronger steem/it ecosystem.

Thanks @kevinwong for all the effort from you. Lastly before I forget, those food varieties are so yummy πŸ˜‹ you guys really enjoyed.

This is @maxdevalue

Thanks a lot @maxdevalue, plenty of social witnesses who do plenty outside, but don't get much recognition!

Malaysia boleh! Rock on @coingecko! Thanks for the continues support and curation instead of vote selling. Grateful for people like ya!

Haha thanks but now i've increased my self-voting in the alt-account. Had to. I mean i can sell for the same effect, but I'd just do it myself until something gets done about it.

Haha yeah was about to comment on that as well. Well it's just the way the ecosystem is. Oh well rooting for your alt-account to get fat as well.

I'm sure you'll support the community back again as it gets fatter :D

Interesting article @kevinwong. I never really got into this whole witnesses votes but I will inform myself and try to understand whats behind it! Keep up your great work! People like you have a huge Impact in growing this community into something awesome. Cheers!

Thanks @worldcapture, witnesses are paid by the Steem blockchain to maintain its infrastructure. We basically run some software on some servers to do so. That's the priority. With more competition, the community may be able to demand more out of the witnesses, like marketing, development, etc. Anyone can try becoming a witness by the way!

Thanks for the explanation @kevinwong ! I always thought its something like Block Producers for EOS , lol! ) I'm not good at all the technical stuff to be honest but I'm always willing to learn. I'll def have a deeper look into it later today. Cheers!

yes they're about the same!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Honest and open, that's nice. I'll check out your post about Tau before I get too excited, but I'm glad you're aware that you sound like a broken record ;)

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

Lol I've been mindblown for the past 10 months or so, it's kinda tiring actually haha. It's hard to describe the feeling. Maybe it's like disbelieving that man-made objects can fly until you see it in action. Harder to see the fundamental breakthrough in something like a blockchain concept I guess, but it's just as real to me!

Glad to see more witnesses publishing updates.

Thanks for your support and for being a witness. Everyone needs to appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes. I feel Steem is going through growing pains right now. It can be so much more than what we see now and I want to be part of that. Steem on

I think RC has been likely a good step forward if it pans out well over time, although the situation with exchanges is not very good atm.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Super honest witness report! Please continue to stay witness and participate in the discussions amongst witnesses. Hope soon you'll belong to the top, so you also will be included in the discussions with STINC. I think you undersell yourself wrt community building; You did, and still are supporting communities starting with Curie and a a while ago was the driver to start the music curation team @illuminati-inc. Added to that, you spread your vote power to many people and as far as I know never powered down large amounts, ie you stick with Steem, no matter what.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

I'm in the private channel, although not the witness one. I don't communicate much there anyway, pretty much just lurking and reading what people have to say etc :) I prefer to just say what I want through my posts or simply on the chain. Thanks to have been leading @illuminati-inc!

I like how sincere and straightforward you are even though some topics are kind of controversial like the deploying steem on tau. I hope you will find the time to support people here on steem during the period you will be highly invested into developing your ideas for the blockchain. In the meantime you have my full support ( for the little it's worth :P )

It's just easy for me to say things lol. Certainly putting nowhere near the work of what most witnesses are doing developing stuff all the time.

We needed witnesses like you @kevinwong because you are doing an active role in developing steem into a more robust blockchain, just keep it up.

No i'm not active in steem's development at all, much more witnesses out there involved in the day to day progress of it!

There are lots of ways to support steem anyway so it is cool still @kevinwong

Great read, you deserve to be a witness for bringing value everytime

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Your contribute on the steemit ecosystem is in front of each of us, it's amazing that we have to vote for you as witness as well!
Keep it going @kevinwong

Thanks a lot @bafi!

daem that food looks delicious, my proxy voted! keep raising up the standard on Steem for all Kevin!

I actually slept for hours for the first time in the afternoon, after that food lol

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'll just pop the link to this post in the comments of that post so if anyone wants to find another answer, they easily can.

No problem, thanks for putting forth what you have in mind!

This is when I found out that Steem's economy is misaligned, thanks to @trafalgar's wake up call. Is the protocol seriously forcing me to post whatever and vote on myself or sell my votes all the time, just to keep up with others? Someone just selling their votes for the past 6 months will already be ahead of me by a whopping 50,000 Steem Power. Indeed that has been the case. So what's the point of content and curation? If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you can search for the posts on my feed. Just hide the resteems and scroll down.

I couldn't agree more and I can't think of anything more pressing to be changed. I'm working on something on that front.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

What can be done? Some don't even see the problem, some say attitudes need to change, etc lol

edit: to add, i've tried speaking to some but it all points to either: get overwhelming community support, or just have the head of the helm (steemit) to finally decide that there's a problem/solution. it's so far misaligned i wonder why many don't think it's urgent to solve.

Excellent dialogue, my friend, and it’s very good that you wrote to us about it, which gives me more insight into the work of witnesses and how the overall functioning of our ecosystem takes place! Thank you @kevinwong

Even though I have a small SP, at least I have given it to the rightful person. Hopefully soon move to the big 5.

This is great, but why are all the faces in this Photo closed? I want to know all the great people here

wouldnt you love my face instead?

Kevinwong is the best. I’m always a fan and always find his writings inspiring and mind blowing. What he has done for Steem and for different communities is priceless. (our superhero!) Vote for him as witness and you won’t regret. Steem + Tau = future.

The only witness update that is Delicious ;)

with the kind of work that you do, it's great to enjoy the company of your fellow witnesses over a good meal. =)

This article really gave me the idea on what is Witness all about. I've heard about it a couple of times already but I wonder what is it about. It's a good thing I happen to read your post. What makes it more interesting is the photo of those mouthwatering dishes. :)

Hello @kevinwong,

You are one of my Steemit witnesses, and as such I hope you'll pardon this off-topic contact.

I'm here to inform you of a fantastic opportunity to promote STEEM.

Please check out the information in my article:

STEEM On Netcoins Contest: EVERYbody Wins!

I'm not looking for your vote or reSteem...

I am asking you to take action to promote this!
It seems clear to me that it will benefit the entire Steemit community.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!
