Everything is running smooth with my primary and back up Witness Servers, both are running the latest version of Steemd v0.20.10 which included important security patches. I remain committed to running both servers to contribute to the ongoing future of the Steem blockchain, my current Active Witness Rank is 66, I really appreciate all the Witness voters I have received and keep doing my best to promote the Steem blockchain and retain our active users.

You can see the full list of Witness at https://steemian.info/witnesses run by the Witness @drakos , Witness names striked through in red are no longer active, Witness names striked through in yellow are in maintenance - commonly used when server updates are being applied. You can click on each Witness name to visit their blog and normally any updates on status will be listed as a blog post. In the past few weeks we have seen a few Witnesses at various levels shut down their servers, a timely reminder that Witness servers are expensive to run - and block production rewards only contribute a small amount towards the costs.

It is always a good idea to regularly check and update your Witness votes according to what you want and expect from your Witnesses - you can visit the website I mentioned above or https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses to view your current choices and update them as you wish If you have spare votes, below are some of my suggestions for Witnesses doing great things for the Steem blockchain.

@enginewitty vote
@jackmiller vote
@guiltyparties vote
@thekitchenfairy vote
@krnel vote
@pjau vote
@justyy vote
@oracle-d vote
@dsound vote
@poetsunited vote
@qurator vote

Those are just a few suggestions of the many worthy Witnesses we have. If you are uncertain about Witness voting, or do not want to keep checking and changing your votes - you can vote for c0ff33a as your Witness Proxy and your Witness Votes will be set to the same Witnesses I vote for.

There is a big push at the moment to get Steem listed on niffler.co a cryptocurrency exchange, this is in everybody's interest the more exchanges Steem is on the greater exposure it will get. As you can see we are now very close to the target of 1000 - all you have to do is click the image above, enter your e-mail address and a password to use with the exchange, on the next page choose a username - and that's it we are one more account closer.

I now have 648 Witness Voters, and I appreciate the confidence every single one of you have in me. All my Witness rewards remain powered up in growing my Steem Power, I have never powered down or sent Steem out to exchanges - in fact the opposite I have been regularly purchasing Steem to power up. Between curation and delegation to a range of communities I give back as much as I can, and I also like to support my Witness voters by giving away Steem Basic Income subscriptions - because these pay out in upvotes on posts - it encourages our content creators to keep creating.

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets
