I'll give your blog a look. Have you made a witness campaign post yet where you let people know who you are (for those that may not have interacted with you a lot), why you are a witness, and what your vision for steem/steemit future is, and whatever else you personally think is worth mentioning... such as the fact you are not on Azure/Amazon and... 88.198.0-63.x (Germany - Datacenter in Nuernberg) or if it is a different 3rd octet you may want to provide that so we get it right.
Or just go with the fact you are coming from Germany. Are you housing this in a data center, or elsewhere for the time being? If it is elsewhere what type of internet connection are you using.
I don't personally yet know how important all of this would be... I'm just asking technical questions that I might have later to save you some questions. And yes, I'll check you out as I have a few votes out there that are for people that seem rather dormant so I could move them.
