leo-87 witness thread 2017.11.28

Hi all!

I’m Leandro and I’ve been in the IT and Development environment for a lot of time.

My experience with Linux it’s not like a pro, but i can handle it, when i had fifteen years old i learn some about Linux and make some kernel build for update it I remember i’ve been playing with Slackware, Debian, SUSE, that times i don't have internet like today, i'm talking about of year 2001 in those days in Argentina we use dialup that were expensive and slow! :(.

Well back to this days i was working in microsoft .net almost for 12 years, i start with bitcoin in july of 2013, mainly with Litecoin buying some GPUs to mine it, mainly to learn about mining and because I like assembly computer desktop with powerful components.

My compromise with steem and all of us is make the network more secure adding a witness, and then a seed node, i know we need more seed nodes, i want to participate in the Hive account@bitshares as a witness after my grow here in steem.

This are the tech specs for my witness:

• 32GB DDR3 ECC RAM
• 2x240GB SSD
• Xeon E3 (4c/8t)
• 20TB Bandwidth
