Technical and Economical

• kept my witness node running smoothly, with no missed blocks
• kept my price feed bias, at 0% - SBD is trading at $0.97, close to the peg
• kept my SBD APR at 1% - in an attempt to maintain SBD to the peg
• kept the account registration fee at $1 (I use a script called steem witness toolbox, available for free on Github, for publishing the feed price and adjusting a few blockchain props)
• kept the block size at 65,536
• set up my own content node, which is replaying the blockchain right now and I started to configure it. This should decouple steem.supply (and any other future services that I will deploy) from the public nodes, resulting in less downtime. It's still not operational, but sometimes this week, after more tests are carried, it should be.
