"It is clear a linear system is not going to work."
Yes, I get that. A system that makes life pleasant and easy for new users, but not so easy that they can run spam bots, with an exponential scale thereafter makes a lot of sense.
"Around a year ago you could run a witness node on 8GB of ram, now we are around 45GB and a 150GB block log file."
Thanks for the report. That is indeed a daunting statistic. One has to think what that means for one year from now, and a decade from now!!??
How is this to be managed? What workarounds are there? Like you suggest, there are always solutions to be found, if we remain levelheaded, and remember to have fun and laugh about it, when it all seems a bit much.
Doubt you've had much sleep, but thanks for being a good witness.
I think it's safe to upvote now :) Thanks for the update. I think you should list what you do for the community that others don't see or ignore to see unless you point it out. It's not tooting your own horn, it's just what it is.
Most people don't understand what you do and just chalk it up to 'owning a bidbot'. If they see past that they'll realize you need to be on that top 20 and once you're in there, you don't need a bidbot to fund what you do for all of us.
You're one of the selfless guys we have dealt with on Steemit. Thanks.
And thanks for the !pancakes and !popcorn. Looking forward to what great projects you will create for this platform.
Great update and particularly relevant with the attention that witness voting has been getting lately due to the issues with the latest Hard Fork. It think these updates will become more important as witnesses are now sensed to be accountable to properly govern the blockchain. I think involved witnesses like yourself will be key to the future of the blockchain as well as those that bring new development ideas in the future. Thanks for sharing!
would you consider making a website for your promotion bot where most of the delegation related actions can be done centrally and with record of historical ROIs for delegators?

I think we should have had a heads up. I would like to see a prompt like the QA for a news post frequently updated by witnesses. Some of them didn't know about the sudden change (allegedly) lol
I just wanna understand the RC and how it works. I'll get there. There are many without...only heard from a few. May God bless you for being brave and taking responsibility. Nice. ;)

Thanks for all your support of the communities and your witness work. It is appreciated. It's been a dramatic week or two on steemit, but we're getting back to normal. I want to see how it works for the next wave of users.
As I've listened to you, your calm style and willingness to stand by your positions while actually listening to feedback has brought a sense of trust.
I appreciate your blacklist and your attention to the job of witness.
Hence, you have my vote.
Thanks.

I’m hoping we have sort of checkpoint system so it is easier on resyncing.

I don't have a lot of delegations to justify that, 98% of my delegation is one user.
I see ..maybe that would be a good start to get a more diverse delegator pool...just a thought !!
good job brother... i also heard that popcorn is back..
is this true?

Thanks for your update, I'm glad that you got #OPgaming 500SP in delegations, it means a lot to us, happy that another gamer is a witness of steem!
