A witness on a blockchain is also called a miner in some places -- basically they run a node (computer) that maintains the blockchain (network) of all the activity on it.
Miner and witness are two very different way to produce blocks. What are blocks and a blockchain? Well it's all mentioned in the article I linked below.
Yes, I was not meaning to confuse the 2, just give her the basics and similarities of the 2 since these terms are often used interchangeably in the Crypto eco system with differences btw them all and the coding/functions etc.
thank you @barrydutton!
Pleasure.
I have stuff on my page today and most days, that may help you out my friend.
Thank you @gardenlady! I really appreciate you supporting me and approving my witness.
You might want to look at this post linked below to get a better grasp of what are witness and what they do. Look under the sub-title "What are Steem witness" in particular or the whole post if you feel like it. It really give a good overview of how Steem works in it's most intricate detail and all of it in layman terms.
Steem: An In-Depth Overview!
thanks @teamsteem! I'v e gotten to the point I can tell people what is steemit and what is steem and why it's groundbreaking, but then I kind of stumble ;-)
It's complex. It might be better just to try to have them sign and then make a little introduction post, market it for them and see if they like it.
Oh, and another question I have...
I've been keeping everything in Steem Power and I plan on doing that for quite some time...however, if I did want to 'power down', can you STOP a power down after just one week?
Sure!
