Witnesses make the Steem world go round!!!!

In case you haven't heard we have Witnesses that help keep this blockchain running 24/7.

Straight from the Steemd Explorer

"On the Steem blockchain, witnesses serve a role of validating signatures and timestamping transactions by including them in blocks. A block is any group of transactions (posts, votes, transfers, etc) which update the state of the database. Each time a witness produces a block, they are paid for their service. If a witness fails to produce a block, then they are not paid, and may even be voted out.

Every round of block production begins with the shuffling of 21 witnesses: the top 20 witnesses (by vote), plus one randomly-selected standby witness. Each is given a turn to produce a single block at a fixed rate of one block every 3 seconds. If a witness does not produce a block in their time slot, then that time slot is skipped, and the next witness produces the next block."

So basically without them this place wouldn't exist!!! Me and my partner Hive account@bitcoinparadise have been running a Witness here on Steem for about 3 months. Our witness is Hive account@block-buster and our mission is to be able to support various artists on the Steem Blockchain.

We have noticed far too many users go unnoticed and unrewarded. We have a collective that grows stronger each day. These accounts include Hive account@primetimesports Hive account@fivestargroup Hive account@sureshot and of course Hive account@block-buster. Together with these accounts we plan on supporting as many artists as possible.
