1.) Introduction
Who is @therealwolf?
Exactly 160 days ago, I decided to do something, which completely alterred the path of my life.
I found out about something called Steem and decided to create an account on Steemit.com
And to be honest: that was one of the best decisions of my life.
I've been trying to build multiple things on the net, since 2013. But I never had the feeling of this is it until I found Steem.
As you might know - I'm a developer. I'm currently developing for @utopian-io and my own project (@smartsteem). Wrote my first code in 2010 - but never was really good. (funfact: I always thought that I simply weren't able to code complex things). Until I found Steem.
I trained myself to write Javascript, NodeJS and VueJS in 3 months - because I had ideas in my mind that I wanted to realize - but for this I needed the Skills.
Additionally, I see myself also as a developer of business ideas. I like to tinker around here and there - and be creative and disruptive.
And for me - Steem is the perfect playground to build amazing things!
Now, before I go on to the next chapter - a few more quick facts about me:
Quick Facts about me
While I have been doing nearly nothing else than working on Steem and my own projects for the last 5 months - there are a few things that I like to do in my freetime (or before I became addicted to Steem):
- Dancing Salsa (I'm a pretty good dancer - true story ;D )
- Cooking & Eating (Mostly healthy things to keep my energy high )
- Netflix & Amazon Prime for relaxing purposes (Checkout out Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on Netflix!)
- Casual Gaming (CIV, Northgard, Stronghold; Strategy - but I mostly don't find the time)
Quick Explanation of my Name
The main reason I chose @therealwolf as my nickname was due to my first interest in CryptoCurrencies and my goal to blog about those topics. Additionally, one of my favourite movies is The Wolf of Wall-Street - which is why I named myself Wolf. While the interest is still there, my focus has shifted - however the funny thing is:
The name is still somewhat accurate of me. While many users on Steem are using discord groups to get to know each other and network - I often feel a bit overwhelmed with all that chit-chat and prefer a lone wolf approach. But - one of my goals is to be more active and helpful in the social area - so if you are german - you might find me on the D-A-C-H Discord Channel or in the #witness channel on steem.chat
My current Projects on Steem
Right now, I am working mainly on two different Projects.
- Developing the Registration Module for @utopian-io (you can check it out at https://signup.utopian.io and the Contribution Posts on my profile). Utopian is an amazing project and I'm very glad that I can give my part to help it succeed and will continue to do so.
- Developing and Managing my own project called @smartsteem (incl. @smartmarket) which are basically services to increase the value and visibility on posts through Vote-Buying - but with the big difference to other services that @smartsteem also has a whitelist and that @smartmarket sells Votes from Users.
However, there is a lot more on my mind that I want to focus on - with the goal to improve the Steem-Ecosystem.
2.) Witness Requirements
There are currently Witnesses popping up left and right. And even though I don't want to be one of many - I had the wish to become a witness for about 2 months now and decided that now is the time.
There are different Requirements for a Steemian to be a successful Witness which are split into different topics.
Developer Knowledge
First things first. Part of the Job of a Witness is the running and maintaining of a Witness server.
This can be outsourced, but I believe that a great Witness should have at least a good basic knowledge on how to maintain and keep the server secure, while also making sure to not miss any blocks.
While I am not yet as knowledgeable as @gtg, @someguy123 or @jesta in this area - I'm still pretty decent and above average (due to my work with smartsteem), but my goal is to have a similar competence as the mentioned above. Until then, I will work hard and won't shy away to ask for help if it is necessary.
Technical specs of my Witness Server:
- 32 GB of RAM
- 2x240GB SSDs
- Intel Xeon CPU E3
- 1 GB/s Network based in Germany
For those of you who don't get what the above means:
It's pretty good. I will however upgrade the RAM soon, due to the minimum requirement of RAM rising fast.
Since I'm also planning on hosting a SEED & RPC Node - I might do this in one step.
Why am I running for Witness?
Now, that we got that cleared up - the most important aspect for me is that..
Witnesses are able to BE THE CHANGE that Users are wishing for in Steem.
The job of a great Witness is to make sure that the Steem ecosystem stays healthy and for this - one important aspect is the commitment to Steem.
Which can be simply put into: investing heavy into Steem - to have an incentive to keep the ecosystem healthy. Similar to how proof-of-stake (POS) works.
I'm 110% commited to Steem!
I have currently around 14.000 Steempower which calculated to USD is around 84.000$. (at the current price of 6$ per Steem)
While this is a drop in the water in comparison to people as @freedom - for me, this is more money than I ever had in my entire life. (I've made 90% of this amount through my work for Steem and by this, I understand the value of the Ecosystem)
And I am not planing on powering-down any of it!!
I've lived multiple years on the poverty line and while I hope this never happens again - if it would, I still wouldn't power down, because I believe 110% in Steem!
And this is not some mindless gibberish filled with greed. I truly believe in the technology and the ecosystem and I want to be a part of it!
2 weeks ago, I've created a post called I think I'm in love with Steem where I talked about the extreme usability of Steem. (The post was very spontanious, so don't expect too much of deep subjects)
And the more time passes, the more I realize how Steem is the underdog of CryptoCurrencies.
Just recently, Weiss Ratings rated STEEM with a B- which made it one of the top 5 of all rated Currencies.
Ethereum, in comparison, received a B.
I truly believe that Steem will revolutionize the World - and I want to be a part of it while also helping it grow into the right direction.
My Vision for Steem
Whenever I'm currently meeting a friend or someone I know - one of the first topics I talk about is Blockchain and especially Steem.
Some of them might not like or not understand it, but I just want to share my knowledge and help them, because Steem will be huge.
Right now, most blockchains are struggling with simple problems, like: transactions per second, transaction fees, scalability and most importantly: use-cases. (What do we need 5 different Bitcoin Forks for?)
Steem - might not be perfect - but it has all those in check.
Transactions per Second? I'm not completely sure on how many exactly, but Steem is currently only at 0.13% workload.
Transaction-Fees? 0. There is a minimum amount of 0.001 Steem that has to be transferred - which is 1 Steem Satoshi. But nothing is lost while sending.
Scalability? Transaction-Workload is currently below 1% - even though Steem processes 2 times the Transaction amount of Ethereum.
And the most important part: Use-Case
What good are 10 different alternatives to Bitcoin as a Currency, if they are currently not getting used? In comparison, Steem is not only a currency but also a utility and has over 60.000 active Users daily. (Source)
The biggest reason why Ethereum got so big, was due to ERC20 Tokens. And now with Smart-Media-Tokens just around the corner, Steem will draw more and more attention.
Am I saying that Steem is perfect? No. But is Steem pretty darn good in comparison to other Blockchains? Oh yeah!
Ok - but what is my vision?
To answer this - let me quote something @ned said in a recent interview:
In the next 5 years, my vision is to have 100.000 Entrepreneurs building Apps and Businesses on Steem. - Ned Scott
How awesome is that?
My goal is it to build at least one, but preferably multiple Apps / Businesses on Steem - and to support Users who want to do that as well!
Ned also said that Steemit is simply the first example - and I completely agree with him.
In my vision, Steem will become the crypto-currency & building-ground for a whole generation of Social Media.
We have already amazing projects like @dtube (youtube), @utopian-io (github), @dlive (twitch), @chainbb (phpBB-forum), @dsound (soundcloud), @dmania (9gag), @busy.org (facebook), @zappl (twitter) next to Steemit. (Here is a full list made by @adept: https://buildwithsteem.com/)
Some of them are better than others in my personal opinion - I especially like dtube and utopian but I feel that everyone is trying their best to use the existing framework that Steem gives to build something.
And this: is simply amazing!
But there are so many ideas that are just waiting to be build upon Steem.
And I want to help!
3.) Witness Proposals
Proposal 1: As a Witness, I will create and work on Projects that improve the Steem Ecosystem
This is my personal biggest goal as a Witness - to focus my time and energy on Projects which are improving Steem. As I previously said - I'm invested heavily into Steem and I want to see a healthy growth!
I'm already working on a new Project, but it is not yet ready to be shown to the public.
Proposal 2: As a Witness, I will support positive Contributions to the Steem Ecosystem
I believe that ones own stake of Steempower can have a tremendous positive influence and I want to use it to support Users who are actively improving the Ecosystem.
Additonally, I will also take part on improving the Ecosystem with my Contributions
Proposal 3: As a Witness, I will support new Users on Steem and will help them to understand the Steem-Ecosystem better
More and more People are are coming to Steem, often from other Social Media Sites.
As for example - already influencial Youtuber who are starting to create Videos on dtube.
But the thing is - dtube is not simply a copy of Youtube.
It has a similar look, but under the hood it works completely differnt.
My goal is it, to make the transition as easy as possible while giving them all the needed information they need to be successful on Steem.
Proposal 4: As a Witness, I will take part in important Community-Discussions & Decisions
Last but not least - I will also take part in Discussions & Decissions about important Topics regarding the Steem Ecosystem - as for example the Discussion about the SBD Price Peg.
I believe that it is extremely important for Witnesses to take a stance in these Discussions while also being authentic and keeping integrity. I wouldn't change my Opinion, simply to get more Witness Votes. However, I want to keep an open mind to new ideas and are able to receive and think about them.
Now - as a quick teaser of my thoughts about the current SBD-Peg Discussion:
While I am in agree of the need for a SBD which is pegged to the Dollar, I don't believe in enforcing it right now - but I would like to create a seperate Post about it.
4.) Final Words & Witness Vote
I've taken quite a lot of time writing this Post - because I want it to reflect how much Committment and Love I feel for Steem.
But I wondered when it would be a good time to post it. I wondered if it would be better to let a few more actions speak first, before I create my Proposals.
However, I believe that I have many Qualities that are needed for a Great Witness and would be grateful if you would vote for me.
Would you please vote for me as Witness?
You can also vote for me directly through steemconnect
Now, if you are not yet sure if you should vote for me. I'm (nearly) always available for a chat on discord / steem.chat. Otherwise, please follow me on Steemit for up-coming Posts & Projects :)
Thank you so much!
Wolf

I joined Steemit December 2017 and is yet to fully understand a lot of the things you mentioned @therealwolf, how do you intend to educate us to be better Steemians.
I still don't dont fully understand what a Steem witness does. Can you explain with illustration or relate it to another field please?

Hey @emjoe,
thank you for reading everything - I know, it was a lot. But I felt that anything less wouldn't be enough.
Don't worry, it takes a bit of time to grasp everything but I'll try to explain to you (in a non-technical way)
Steem works with a system called DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake - https://bitshares.org/technology/delegated-proof-of-stake-consensus/) which is an alternative to e.g. POS (Proof of Stake) or POW (Proof of Work).
For this DPOS - you need Witnesses who are operating a Witness Server that produces blocks.
Let me quote this wiki article:
Actually, I think it is best if you read the article: https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Steem_Witness before I repeat everything.
Now - this however is only the technical part. Witnesses, in my opinion, have also another important role - and this role is to be the Voice of the people.
But I think I said it best in my post :)

welldone @therealwolf you seem to have a great set of skills and hubbies really cool bro
nice penchant for the movie "the wolf of wall street" really great entertaining and educative movie for great minds
nice works you got going bro @utopian-io and @smartsteem and @smartmarket love your wonderful enthusiasm and coding skills would love to learn under you
great configuration you have for your witness server but you could still up your game to put you in the forefront you know
great insight and beliefs you got for the steem community way to go and i share this belief with you 110% no backing down on this one bro #steemit is nextgen cryptocurrency and social media community
great analogy on the pros and cons of steem and as you rightly out it steem is pretty darn good in comparison to other blockchains
great and wonderful vision you got going bro and like ned scott rightly put it in the next 5 years or less a lot of #steemians would rise up to coding of so many different apps that the numbers would even far exceed the 100,000 ned scott predicted
your witness proposals are really sweet and intense love every single one of them to the very last word in them
and finally you sure deserve to be a witness and have my vote all the way bro much love @therealwolf

Hi there! I am new steemian. I read your proposal for witness. I like it the way you described it. I also like smartstreem. I am a new user for smartsteem as well. In my view it is one of the most interesting and genius ways to buy upvote. I especially like the way it votes as multiple individuals, and without leaving a promotional comment.
However, I was wondering, in your witness proposal, there is not too much content regarding how you are going to help new users outside your project. I know smartsteeem itself is beneficial, that's why I am a user, but if you elaborate more on that it will he helpful.
The other item is, how will you personally fight spam, and low quality content on the steem platform? What is your proposal for that? I have been using steem for only 3 weeks. I have only 18 posts so far. To me that is a lot. But I see people have hundreds of posts during that time. Several people (some with very high steempower) post only a picture and 100s of people upvote it. How is this fair? Then there are users who post completely non-sense post and pictures multiple times a day, for what?
Nobody votes them.
I believe in this platform. I have invested my hard earned money into this, as you can easily see from my profile. I am willing to invest much more time and money if I see more serious people like you show their support to the new users. I like new users and investors to feel at home, feel protected, supported by you and your peers.
As a witness how are you going to address these items?
I do not know if you will see this post of not, but hoping you will.
Posting the same comment here, as I think it belongs here. But this is a old post, so I do not know if you will read it.

Good question @bulleth.
That's what I wrote above:
I think there are good reasons to bring it back to 1$, but we are not yet there where this would bring more value than what it would destroy if we would force the peg.
Forcing the peg would bring down the growth and reduce the motivation from small and medium Users.
Would be mainly beneficial for companies or businesses on Steem. But these will come later in my opinion.

@therealwolf I just upvoted you as a witness! You are currently #49 and I believe you will be a top 30 soon. All your efforts will pay off.
I am finishing Chapter #9 of the 11 chapter full steemit guide, and I will let you know once its ready between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. @lukestokes @blocktrades @steempower @teamsteem and many others have been supporting it, and that is helping the chapters to be reached by many more hands.
This 11 chapter full steemit guide I created has the aim to help new visitors, minnows, new users on steemit to understand as much and as fast as possible, everything they need to know about Steemit and the steem blockchain, and thus help them make their way on the platform.

Until now, I can't understand the simple way of being a witness. The only thing I know @therealwolf is to help to introduce steemit to people and how it works and how did steemit helps people.
Just last day I explain about wallet and block trades in Our Meet up here in the United Arab Emirates, while my wife explains how steemit works, curation, curie etc..
I will include you in my vote as a witness to my last chapter of my blogs!

Voted for you as a witness! Great post. My only concern with you so far is the SBD peg. That requires a moderate level of centralization and defeats the free markets utility in pricing Steem/SBD if it can be manipulated by some central authority. Please reconsider your thoughts on the SBD peg! :)
Congrats on my vote. Seems your in the top-50 for witnesses now! Congrats again! Also, I'm a user and big fan of SmartSteem. Love the project and everything you've done! Keep up the great work!

Excellent to see your progress, however , don't have a clue why you denied me to be whitelisted? what is the rule here??
Just wondering because there is not place where I can read about smartsteem. Is it based on assumptions?
Just upvoted for visibility,it would be nice to get a little info, thank you!

Thanks for the great post and the time it took to create it.
I joined steem about a week ago and I'm still learning the true potential of it. At first I thought it was just another social media website and now I don't know how to explain it lol.
I struggle now because I see "regular people" make alot of money, I see kids in Uganda supporting themselves etc. In addition I've seen whales quit corporate jobs and go all "steem" and share their power to help others. - (How do you explain something that's the opposite of everything you've experienced in your life?)
As I read your post I realized you are 110% into making (whatever this is) better and back that up financially with your steem power, time and knowledge.
I'm going to continue to figure out what this is lol but in the meantime YOU HAVE MY VOTE BRO!

Upvoted and will vote for you as a Witness. Saw another close Steemian use your smartsteem service and can't believe what results he is getting in terms of SBD/STEEM. Looks very interesting, but will do our due diligence and have a think about it.

Hi @therealwolf!
I used this second account @bellabarceta because I have no more bandwidth on my first account @ronel because I delegated almost all of my SP from that account @ronel to @smartsteem. That was my big mistake and maybe because that was my first time I delegated SP. I have no idea of thinking it ahead.
I just wanna ask a favor if you could cancel my delegation manually from that account @ronel.
I would delegate again if I could generate enough SP to sustain my bandwidth.
Thank you!

When I used @smartsteem for the first time, I thought the bot hasn't voted as there's no comment.
Not commenting by some voting bots, to me, is awesome — we can surprise a new Steemit user (a friend, for example) without letting them know that it's me who sponsored their upvote. It would be fun to watch the excitement on their faces.

I´ve liked so much reading your post, actually I´m very inquisitive for knowing more about being a witness on Steemit, what should I have to be a witness? What is it all about? And other kinds of similar questions. However, your post has cleared several doubts I´ve been having since several days ago. The section of your post I liked most it was your vision for Steem, when you say "Steem will be huge" Do you think Steemit would be able to provide users a different earning money way much better than the traditionals? Best regards.
