Dang, it sure is a tough slog, at the moment, as a witness. I really do appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes by the witnesses. Great write-up of all the other witnesses too. Best wishes on the cooking vids. Like other things in life, you never know until you try. Maybe another opportunity will open up to run a witness in the future.

I may do the witness thing again, I dont know. But for now i will concentrate on helping the community in a way I know how.

Sorry to hear that, mate, but you must put your family first and if running the witness is compromising your life in any way, then your decision is sound.
Blessings on your next endeavours...

Thanks Nathan. This will give me more time for fun stuff anyways. It is going to be good all around.

You were one of my witness votes my man! But totally understandable. I look forward to seeing more content of yours. Good luck! Will definitely take a look at the other witnesses, I have a few votes left I believe. Can't wait for more cooking vids! haha

Well, I will finally have more free time to finish editing my video. I have had a completed episode for a while that is about halfway done editing. This semester has been busy. I wish that there were more hours in the day to get all the stuff I need done. Hopefully I get the next Deranged Eats up soon. It will be a more healthy episode, lol. It is a Keto Diet friendly episode.

Sorry to hear you're stepping down, yet it certainly seems like a decision wisely-chosen. I appreciate your thorough run-down of who you vote for and why. Thank you for taking the time to compile such a thoughtful list. :)

You are welcome. There are some amazing witnesses on this list. I am looking forward to having some extra free time now though.

Really very sorry to see you having to shut down, but I am sure everyone understands that the cost of renting a server capable of running a Witness are far more then you will ever see back in Steem Power unless you are getting very close to the Top 50.
Thanks for the mention, I appreciate that the compliment
You forgot to mention I drive on the wrong side of the road while doing it!
Looking forward to joining in more of your awesome contests.

I couldn't have done it without your help. You were a life saver during setting up my witness and during the whole fiasco we had when we had to update. You deserve to be higher on the list.
I have lived in places where people drive on the other side of the road, so I am used to that side you drive on, so it isnt that big of a deal.

Sad to read but you do what is sensible for you. It takes courage to try things and also takes courage to admit they did not turn as expected, maybe it simple was not the best timing and you can retry in the future. Hugs.

Oh noes! So sorry to hear this. But as somwonwlwse said below, maybe in the future you could team up with someone else to have a shared server.
I must thank you though for suggesting these witnesses, there are. A few who I have never heard of and think I will do some research on. Thanks my guy xx

Sorry man. It's tough going at present for sure.
Thank you very much for the positive mention, hopefully things will pick up and you can be tempted back in.

Sad to see you leave the witness chair. I totally understand the cost, luckily I'm not in a situation where it matters to me. Hopefully you're not quitting discord though!!!! 😁
Thanks for the mention, but you are right, I'm not a politician, I'm not good at asking for votes, I want people to vote for me because they want to, not because I keep nagging at them lol and I'm terrible at writing posts. Haha, but my witness has been running 3 months now, no blocks missed. Hey look at me, I'm advertising myself. 😂

Ya, you are a solid witness and a good dude. Hopefully you are able to get some more votes. You do a lot for the community as a whole that goes unnoticed and you deserve some reward for it.

Enjoyed your breakdown of the witnesses you vote for and why. Glad things are going well but I am sad that you had to step down from being a witness. It is no easy task and not very profitable from my research.
Also, I am really excited about your podcast project with @kaliju. Been letting folks know about it.
I was not aware that @themarkymark was a Vet.

Thanks for all the support @sgt-dan. I need to get recording with @kaliju on the next episodes for the podcast. That project is going to be a lot of fun. I had just barely found out that @themarkymark was a vet as well. He is a man of mystery.

Thank you very much! It was really good for me personally to watch/read your process of becoming a witness. It has been a very big question mark for me and watching your experience just proves to me that it is no where near a possibility for me. I can't see myself doing the legwork to be known. I'm not outgoing enough to be a good witness and the financial burden at this point is crazy. That is why is kinds sucks we can only vote for 30 witnesses as I would love to vote for more that are doing good for the platform, who are not just the top 20 but the lower ranked, those who add major support to Steem. Thank you for the effort!

Thank you. It was a pretty exciting venture while it lasted. It is a lot of work to get set up and going. If I were in at the beginning it wouldn't have been too bad, but there isn't much I can do about it now.

Great job and thanks for explaining why you're stepping down. I think you made the right choice. There are a lot of other ways to contribute to the success of the platform without going into debt doing so. If one of our other Veteran Witnesses needs a hand in the future, maybe you can team up and make it work that way. You were doing a great job, it's a shame that you can't even break even without many rich and powerful friends..

Thanks. This decision should open up quite a bit of free time for me to be able to concentrate more on my posting and responding to people. Most of my days were spend on discord trying to network with people to get votes that went nowhere. This will be a lot better for the community.

I'm sorry it didn't work out like you had hoped but I am very happy you are not leaving , leaving.
You always have to do what is right for your family and yourself and it looks like you are.
Thank YOU for all your hard work and frustration you endured for all of us.

Sad to see this man, but am glad you are still gung-ho for the chain. I have had to adjust a few things to make more time for others recently too. Long as you keep STeeMiNG oN fam! That's all that really matters. Got my support for whatever it is bud.

Oh, man. Sad day, but I get it. I think you're the first veteran witness I voted for. You certainly have mettle and work awfully hard at what you do. I'm sure you'll succeed, on Steemit and elsewhere. We'll miss your witness.

I'm sorry to hear about this, but you're not the first who makes this decision based on the costs of the server - a Witness team seems to be the way to go ATM, and yesterday I read a post that showed me how in the future the dApps might run witness notes with a person as their spokesman/woman - it made sense to me, but we'll see where it goes :-)
The vote I casted to you will now go to @pfunk - I love to support witnesses who support communities, they are what make this blockchain unique and worth investing in. Through my vote for @pfunk I'll support your contest as well, so it makes sense that your witness vote goes that way.
Good luck with all that you do to support the community and be proud that you tried! :D

I like how you included the list of witnesses at the end, with a paragraph about each! Very useful info! We shall miss your witness, but glad to hear that you and @coff33a will be partnering!
