There Is A New Witness In Town : OCD-Witness

Hey steemians..

Preface

I usually don't make a post to advertise a steem witness cause i believe that voting on witnesses is everyone's personal choice. However I will make an exception in this case..

This is not an advertisement per se, but rather an analysis on a fellow steemian who has recently decided to run for witness...

This analysis will help you to understand the man behind this new witness node a bit better so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to vote for him as Witness.

If you are totally oblivious to the term "Witness" and "How do they affect you", you can read all about it in my post. The said post was well received and it is my highest paid post on steemit with multiple upvotes received from reputed witnesses.

Introduction of a New Witness

The new witness that i am talking about is Hive account@ocd-witness and the man behind is none other than a famous whale Hive account@acidyo.

Generally witnesses create a seperate account to keep / track their activities as steemit user and as steem blockchain witness seperately. So Hive account@ocd-witness is basically handled by Hive account@acidyo.

Who is Hive account@acidyo

To summerize it in one line, i will say that he is a good whale.. Hailing from Finland, he has been an active user of steemit for the past 1.5 years and truly has made a name for himself by interacting with community, rewarding deserving people and constantly involving himself for the betterment of platform.

Some Outstanding Work From Hive account@acidyo

1. OCD Initiative : I am a huge admirer of his Hive account@ocd initiative. Hive account@acidyo along with Hive account@anomadsoul are personal curators of Hive account@ocd project. Hive account@ocd initiative's prime job is to curate and resteem deserving posts from newbies who have very less following. All you need to do is add a tag of "ocd" or "ocd-resteem" in your post and curators team at Hive account@ocd will review your post. If it is worthy enough, Hive account@ocd will curate your post and will resteem it to their followers. Not just that, it has multiple language support too. So if you are posting in, lets say, Chinese language, Hive account@ocd has got you covered.

Here is a screenshot of Hive account@ocd's profile:-

The one thing I hate about people is that when they become successful, they detach themselves from the community who made them successful. Suffice to say that Hive account@acidyo is not one of those people. Even after becoming a gigantic whale, he cared enough for the community to create Hive account@ocd initiative to help new comers with good talent to get up on their feet.

2. Ask-steemit initiative : There is another wonderful system that Hive account@acidyo has created. Sometimes, he creates discussion based posts and asks steemit community to participate in that discussion by providing their valuable insight on the matter. Not just that, he duly rewards people who prticipate in those discussions and make some contribution..

Trust me when i say this that not many whales have time or the energy to do that.. but he does it.. how? I dont know . May be his love for the community is too strong, i guess.

3. Understanding of Steem Blockchain : Like i said in my witness post before, just being "nice" doesn't make you a strong contender to run for witness category. Since witnesses are caretaker of steem blockchain so they must have an absolute understanding of Steem economy and Steem Blockchain itself.

On many occasions, Hive account@acidyo has stood up to fight reward pool abuse and has actively participated in pointing out flaws in blockchain along with providing solutions of those flaws. Now thats the kind of thing that actually makes one a strong contender to become a witness.

There is a lot more that he has done for the community and a single post won't be enough to cover it.

Conclusion

Keeping in view the above mentioned facts, i hereby totally support Hive account@ocd-witness account to run as a witness.

I will not impose my opinion on you but i have provided you with enough facts to make an educated decision. If you would like to read more on subject, here is the link to Hive account@ocd-witness announcement.
