So, I was scrolling around on SteemDB and I happened to click on my name and very, very coincidentally, I spotted @roadscape voting for me within a minute of it occurring! It was pretty crazy to see that! He moved me up about 1 PV! Now, I trail 49th place by only .59 PV! Thank you so much for the vote, @roadscape! I promise you that you will not regret voting for my STEEM witness!

In PeerPlays news, I climbed up to 3rd place in the witness ranking out of 42 witnesses, with around 21-23 active right now! I am beyond grateful for this, it's almost like a dream come true! Currently, I am right behind @roelandp and @pfunk, who, respectively, are in first and second place! Currently, my witness node and seed are running perfectly and the reason why I missed the 106 blocks was because of an user error, which was corrected ASAP. Also, yesterday PeerPlays was listed to the first exchange! Expect PeerPlays to pop up in more exchanges in the coming weeks, exciting times are ahead!

Witness Update

---

---

---

I have followed through with @timcliff's suggestion to update our witness parameter to the "maximum block size", many new users have been having issues recently with the sufficient bandwidth to interact, fully, with the blockchain. The previous block size was 65536 and now it is at 131072. Doubling this will give double amount the bandwith on the blockchain. Thus, resulting in less problems.

---

Alongside the most recent witness vote from @roadscape, I have received an extrodanory amount of minnow votes (thank you, minnows!) a dolphin vote from @joseph, @robrigo, & @kingscrown, and whale votes from @honeybeee, @neoxian, and @matt-a! Once again, I'd like to thank you all so much for the votes, it means a lot too me!
