Wow that is a large number of nodes that you are running.
Currently bot owners has been under fire from several notable people and has a growing number of calls to unvote those with bots or delegating SP to bots.
I still maintain my witness votes to you and some of the others because I see that you are doing something to fight abuse.
I recently made a massive post on the importance of witness voting and has garnered a lot of views especially from Redfishes like me.

Dear @themarkymark, is there a problem with rpc.buildteam.io ?
Steemworld.org gives the following:
markynode.PNG

When clicking the link you include I get:
markynode2.PNG

Right now it cannot be used for steemworld but it is currently in replay that will resolve that.

The web page error is normal for a full node as you didn’t do a proper request.

Thank you for your answer. I need to learn how to do a proper RPC request, here I've just stupidly clicked on the link in your post ...

Do you know why Steemit has been unstable these last few days and showing server errors? Is it the progressive implementation of hivemind?

Because they are frequently updated with an unknown amount of testing.

So they do all of this all online instead of debugging before the launch? Wew!

No one really knows what they do as they are quite secretive, but it does seem like production is their dev environment or minimum staging.

Hello themarkymark,

Glad to see this valuable info about you and all the great service and benefit you bring to Steemit.
Now, I know that I need to vote for you as a witness.
Nice meeting you. Much continual success to you.

Thanks

You are doing really good job.
I noticed it many times that steemit getting slow while other websites opens quickly as the same time. I have no technical knowledge. Why steem platform have become so slow these days?

It is because the nodes are slow and some of the technical issues on how the blockchain works. If it was stored in a traditional database it would be quick.

Has technical issue sorted out or is the problem is not yet solved? Is this problem not connected with the low price of steem and big whales' power down ? Please specify.

Great post

this is goodnews for all

I must commend you on the sacrifices you make to ensure that the Steemosphere is completely cleansed of wolves, else the blockchain might get torn down one day. Spending about 8-16 hours daily to bring up meaningful innovations here is something really good and great,
Keep up the good works @themarkymark

Nice to have you in the top 50. I wish to support you from now on in your witness ranking because I can see what you are trying to do.

Please continue trying to communicate your minds and thought to your fans. Thanks

I am going to give my witness vote you for that! 😃

I like so many of the things that you do as witness. I don't like the bid-bot business. I understand that, early on, it was a way to show that people valued Steem and SBD -- being willing to trade them for something of value (votes). But I am exhausted by the bid-bots and what they are doing to people here.

The minnows feel like they have to buy votes to be seen. Even some orcas that I have respected, and who contribute to the platform, are stacking votes from bid-bots, to stay visible and seem relevant. I know that the bid-bots are not the only issue here, but they are a huge one. It's not about the trending page, for me. It's about what effect they are having down through the system.

I'm not deadset against voting for you as a witness - you do so manygreat things here. I would be interested in more transparency about the economics of your bot system, as a way to better understand the economics of all the bid-bots. Are they really so lucrative that folks running them can't let them go? Are they really worth more in Present Value than any Future Value of Steem? Thanks for a post that encouraged feedback.

I have not chosen a single witness, because I do not know how to vote, because I am still very new in steemit.
Your guidance I really need.
thank you

Thanks for information

You are going to get a vote from me....can you give me a few others in the top 50 that you would advise?

Thanks for your time and effort, @themarkymark.

This is what we need MOST from you. I am also trying to help in the littlest way by flagging spammy posts. I hope that does something good though. 🤣
