Witness Update - DragosRoua
Technical and Economical
- started to upgrade my witness node, as the old machine is running out of hard disk space - at the moment of writing this post, I'm still replaying the blockchain on the new machine, hopefully it will be ready in a few hours
- lowered my price feed bias at 10%.
- kept my SBD APR at 1%
- kept my account registration fee at 0.1 STEEM, (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

I''m currently sitting at 60th position in the witnesses ranking, same as last week.
You are getting better and better keep up
Wish you good luck @drogosroua with the new machine...Hope to see your witness rank in top 50 soon...
Congratulations. I hope you move up the ladder in the witness rankings. On other side, what does SBD APR at 1% means?
Annual Percentage Return = Interest.
But does it mean you pay 1% interest in SBD to people using your node and if so is there a possibility to use only your node for steem transactions...or i'm making such confusion and don't know nothing about this?
It's a blockchain property: witnesses are setting each a specific APR, and then it's using an average of that value to set up the APR globally for all users. If all witnesses will set 2%, then everybody on the Steemit blockchain will get 2% interest for their SBDs.
Thank you so much for your explanation :)
Hopefully new machine will do wonder for you and improve your ranking. you really deserve a top 10 place @dragosroua
that's great, i hope new machine will work better then the old one and your rankings will be improved.
keep it up the good work brother!

We'll see you move up that ranking soon
