This last month I was traveling together with @suesa visiting many steemians and seeing a lot of europe in the process. Today I am finally coming home again, with a new outlook and the motivation to post more on this blog. If you want updates, kindly follow @suesa-random as there will be a daily travel diary starting tomorrow.
I am still one month to go for my bachelor thesis and this next month will consist of a lot of writing. So when I write anyway, I can also do it for steem too. We have a hard fork and many changes where I can post about my stance as a witness. And generally happened a lot in the last months.
BuildTeam has published the new SteemVoter Beta and we are ironing out the last bugs, testing it under load and adding new features as users find a need for them. We are also reworking our rpc infrastructure and have many changes in that department. And as always we have many new cool things that are soon to be released. But I will keep quiet about them for now.
I will soon update my witness to appbase as it seems to have stabilized with the newest bug fixes and will try out and review the hard fork 20 codebase to be ready for the fork. If you have any topics concerning HF20 that I should write about, drop me a comment or mention me anywhere, I am always available for questions in german and english.
I started a curation guild that I plan to extend over time and am still looking for those awesome people that fit exactly my taste. I am rather too picky than not picky enough so don't be discouraged if my guild is not voting you. You can always create your own and curate the people you like. Maybe I like your selection and trail that. Or other whales jump on it.
The crypto correction and generally low prices have us all somewhat sad and slow. In my opinion this is the best time to become active and to show you still care about steem, regardless of price. I don't have a big bank account to buy crypto with but if I had, right now is the time to buy more. People like @dhenz got it right in my opinion: https://steempeak.com/steemit/@dhenz/why-i-bought-250k-steem-during-the-dip-and-just-getting-started
I am writing this through the @steempeak interface with the new scheduled post function while I am in the train so my reactions might be delayed by bad internet. But I could not resist having a go at cool features that I wanted for decades ;) I recommend you try out their interface, it rocks.
Welcome back; hope you enjoyed the trip!
I like what you're doing with the curation guild and letting people front-run it. That, and what you said in another comment here about not having plans to power down... it shows forward thinking, which is arguably the most important quality in a witness. More confirmation that my vote is well-placed.
Sounds familiar. I'm buying and powering up what I can, but I could really use a sudden inheritance from a forgotten dead relative or something.
Well, I'm as active as I've always been, so I hope that counts for something. Nah. I really do need to improve in that regard. It recently occurred to me that I have spent a lot of time in Steem-related chats, discord channels, and other things... but my posts are like 2 weeks apart and even my comments are few and far between. I'm starting to work on that and hopefully I will keep improving.

Technically I am loosing money as I don't plan on powering down my SP in any foreseeable future.
But like @fbslo said all witness rewards are pretty much public on the Blockchain and @steemchiller created steemworld.org which compiles all that reporting.
I am doing very good witness wise recently. I don't have the really big votes, but many small voters bring me almost into top 30.
Being a witness for the profit is not something I particularly like and I would not suggest it if that is your driving motivator. I am a witness to keep the network that I invest so much time in stable. I would do it without the rewards. I never expected them to happen but people seem to trust my witness capabilities.

Hmmm that reminds me I gotta go see if I’m voting for you, I get lazy with witness votes even for people who I support :(

@reggaemuffin, Good luck for your Travel Time, and yes sometimes we miss the postings because life holds many aspects and sometimes we need break for sure.
And i hope and wish that you will going to meet many effective Steemians and also going to have an productive and fun travel times. Most importantly fun aspect is important in life.
Yes, sometimes we need the Motivation aspect to continue in life, and when we get the motivation we have to take the step towards our idea, then for sure we will going to get the effective results.
In current phase Crypto Sphere is facing crisis but we know that it will going to bounce back. And particularly we have amazing updates for the Steem Economy. So let's hope for the best.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Will be glad to see more posts coming from you Reggae! I have come to appreciate your particular take on the happenings around STEEM and the fact that you are in it for the platform, not for powering down!
All the best with your thesis! I know that can be a really stressful time! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Do you know if there is a rewards formula sheet available HF20? (like this one https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Rewards:Formulas)

The link doesn't work? That's strange. The steemit post with the formulas is this one-> https://steemit.com/steemit/@jga/author-and-curator-rewards-in-hf19 and click here for the steemit center page

HF20 adds a new dust limit that basically substracts a constant factor from each vote. Also curation window is 15 minutes, not 30 minutes. The last 12 hours get a sliding cooldown period instead of the original upvote block. And first 15 minutes curation is put into the rewards pool instead of the author previously.
I think the rest is still the same formula. To my knowledge no one yet made a post extracting the new formulas.

Regards @reggaemuffin
Thanks for keeping your eyes on my blogs or at least on some of them. I was wondering to ask if you'll curate music/art as well or what will be your mainly focus as witness on steemit? Thanks for presenting cool blogs and keep in touch. Enjoy from time2time my music/art

The subject of the witnesses is still unclear within the platform of steemit, you are a witness or you support a witness

Hello muffin man! I have always voted you as my witness, thanks for your hard work for Steemit. I dropped by your post as I wonder whether you have a specific requirement or application needed to be a part / recipient of your curation guild. I'm currently running my curation program for the photography community, please do visit my feed. I hope it interest you and feel free to support if you like what I do. Thanks! have a great weekend :)

I am a very picky voter so there is only the vague requirement that I need to really have to like your content, that it is worth consistently my vote and that I trust you to not abuse that spot.

I totally understand that, you as a high-SP user / witness has a huge responsibility to carry for your stake & Steemit platform.
Well, my goal is to grow my influence to be able to support good content creators through my curation program, which uses the same ideology as yours. I myself have to be picky also, to make sure that I'm rewarding the good stuff. Thanks for your feedback :)
On the other hand, I like the idea of a "guild" instead of just a trail. It sounds / feels like there is a camaraderie among curators & followers as well. I will be using this concept and the steemvoter service as well.

I hope you have had a nice travel and back with new energy to your thesis. It would be nice to see the projects as you mentioned hope you could combine it with your study.
You are right recently not much activity on Steemit and we noticed that Art dep-t get more quite too. So we have started a new project that is just a week old and we hope to get support from as many people as possible, it is a curation of young artists whose works undervalued and that we are doing together with other Steemians but with our own financing. Would be great to hear your thoughts about it, Cheers @art-venture
