The Reports from the Witnesses aims to provide the community with a summary of what all the witnesses have been up to. Every week, I collect all of the reports from the individual witnesses and assemble them into a single aggregated report. New witness announcements and witness retirement announcements are included in the report as well.
Witnesses can continue posting their posts to the witness-category and/or witness-update tags, and I will assemble everything I find there. If I miss any reports, just let me know and I will correct it. If you want to direct message me a report via chat, that is fine too.
Historic Reports from the Witnesses can be found here:

So without further ado, I bring you the fifty seventh edition of 'Reports from the Witnesses'!

Some Notes:
- Many witnesses do not report every week, and prefer to only report when they have updates.
- I recommend that you include communication as one of your criteria for evaluating witnesses, but keep in mind - it is not the only criteria. There are some witnesses that prefer to work "behind the scenes", and do not do much as far as reports.
- For witnesses that are not currently posting any reports, I would encourage you to provide the community with at least some insight into what you are currently working on :)
Remember to vote for witnesses!

If you aren't sure who to vote for, check out this Witness Voting Guide.
Are there any plans to allow segmentation of the Steem blockchain to distribute a Witness operation across multiple servers instead of running full nodes? The memory and space requirements are increasing daily. Going to need a Google Bucket kind of dealio where a huge data structure is spread out across multiple server nodes hosting a set of manageable leafs. Then steemians can pool Witness resources without an insane amount of RAM, Storage and computing power at each node.
256G of RAM isn't going to be cheap :-D The minimal 32G requirement is almost too low now. Suspect a slight memory leak going on.

Yes. AppBase is the start of this, and it is planned.
Afaik, there is no memory leak. The symptoms do not point to this.

Do you know if SteemConnect.com is trustworthy?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I trust https://v2.steemconnect.com/ which looks like it redirects to there, so seems OK. No third party application (even steemit.com) is 100% safe though - technically. There is always a very slight risk when entering your keys into any website. Some are a lot safer than others though, and Steemit + SteemConnect are both sites I trust.

Been running a Witness node for almost a week. Ambienthex is just picking up blocks, burning clock cycles and electricity is all :-D Not enough votes to get into the Witness pool circulation yet. Was at position 189 last time I checked. Price feed all in place and reporting correctly as well.
Many may fall out of the Witness pool when the traffic increases to 1 to 2% of Facebook level traffic. Going to need a proper data center and server farm or earn enough to cover some hefty AWS fees to keep up soon. Know Steemit is using AWS. Hope they have a large pool of server instances on standby incase things spike quickly. Can stage nodes as AWS spot instances and only pay as you turn them on and bump up the spot instance budget as needed. A way to have backups on hand for free. Sure they have a plan and giving the Steem community the chance to support the network themselves for as long as they can.

Sorry! Perhaps I did not correctly express it. I can not understand what it is and how to use it.

You can vote up to 30 witnesses.
When you use proxy, you are letting one witness to be your proxy to vote for you.
I hope that makes sense.
