I've dropped almost out of sight to the bottom of the top 100 witness list, holding at position 99 for now. It's a bummer, but I am still thankful to those who vote for me as a witness.
It's costing USD $100 per month to pay for the server, and at the witness position of 99 and the current value of STEEM... well I only cover about 50% of the monthly costs for the a month of witnessing.
I get 35 SP each week for witnessing blocks. 35 x 4 = 140 SP per month about. The server costs 282.053 STEEM at this point.
It's a good thing I am a content producer and get decent rewards. I don't produce content to pay for my witness server though, but it is what it is now, and I will have to take my author and curation rewards to pay for some of the server costs. Having saved up SBD helps me out in these tough STEEM times. But it will only get me so far until I have to question if running the server is really worth it...
Thank you once more for all of your support. It's appreciated. Have a nice weekend :) Peace.
P.S. I'm thinking of reviving my curation/community app project that I killed in the winter of 2017 when Steemit Inc. announced they were making communities. I didn't want to make something that would be redundant when it would be offered on the primary front-end of Steemit.com, is what I thought... It's been almost two years, and nothing from Steemit Inc. on that front. I shouldn't have killed it back then :/ Some of you may remember it. I will be remaking the app from the former PHP/JS code base to only JS running on NodeJS.
