Witness "gtg"
Hello, World!
My intention is not to make it into top 19. I could name many other candidates (clearly more than 19) with greater commitment to steem(it) who are a lot more appropriate as witnesses, but I'm sure I can be useful as a backup witness.
I introduced myself here:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gtg/hello-world
Those of you who use https://steemit.chat know me as Gandalf.
For some time, I’ve been using my magic powers (mostly those related to security and infrastructure) to improve steemit. For example, I’ve improved our "Perfect" Forward Secrecy and made our communication with site more secure.
My seed node (EU based):
seed-node = gtg.steem.house:2001
You can also use it to rsync data dir
rsync -Pa rsync://gtg.steem.house/witness_node_data_dir .
My witness node is on a separate data center (an EU-based one as well).
If you believe I can be of value to steemit, please vote for me:
vote_for_witness YOURACCOUNT gtg true true
Thank you for spending your time to make steemit secure. Thanks to people like you we have a much safer environment. Were you paid for your effort on steem?
I get the feeling that it takes a lot of people (many of whom are not core developers) to make Steemit run. We owe a great deal of thanks to those who help, provide ideas, and test out matters like security. Thank you!

@steemship you are very correct.
I don't know if I was paid for my effort on Steem or not. I don't know how to check and find out. Can you teach me?

Spamming with meaningless comments and posting copied content isn't the way to succeed on that platform.
Cool
I agree, Thank you for your contribution and keeping steemit safe.
As the computer world beyond user interfaces is a magical realm to me, the only way I can get my brain to completely understand it is to just let go and tell my self it's all made of unicorns and runes being cast to make the magic happen :) I thank you for your work:)
Its mostly unicorns, you are correct

Please take a look at quickstart guide and frequently asked questions, especially at parts about witnesses and Delegated Proof of Stake.
Most voted witnesses are elected to be full time block producers, keeping an eye on security and reliability of the platform.
I appreciate the work you put in for us. Even if you were paid or not, your one of the veins that keep us running so you deserve a great deal. Thanks again hope my little bit helps

good story bro
Im a little too late here. Being new to steemit didn't know about this witness process. Good job gtg!!!! im voting for you
@gtg aka Gandalf already voted for you :-)
Thanks for all your efforts and support, will you be called Gandalf the White after the votes?
Thank you :-)
No, Grey is fine ;-)
Btw, I don't think that adding image to each reply is a good idea. It's unnecessary and redundant.
Ok, ill think of something else :-)
I came up with something, non redundant and gives me an image in your reply list. Its a white background at the end of my post, is it any better?
But what for? It doesn't make any sense to add a meaningless image at all.
My idea is when i reply or comment steemers can easily know its me (im working on building a group). That's why i do this.
When you reply or comment it is always signed by you, no need to add pictures with your username or empty pictures. That doesn't make any sense.
All right, ill take it as noob mistake and move on. Thanks for the advice.
It would be nice if we can add a question answering functionality to steem, something like qoura, should not be hard.
Also it would be nice to add privacy support so that users can decide which posts are public which are not something like lists in facebook, it's achievable by encrypting private messages with symmetric keys and share the symmetric key with the list (one by one encrypted with their public)
Quora-like system is just matter of UI, feel free to create such :-)
For now, take a look at ChainBB.
As for privacy, it's not what Steem is designed for at least in his current shape. There was some basic implementation of private messaging (messages encrypted with memo keys), but that's not really a good use case for a blockchain based storage. Something that you would like to keep private shouldn't end up written permanently on the blockchain. Once your private key would be compromised, anytime in the future, all your past privacy is gone.
exactly, UI can take this thing to the moon, average users don't understand block chain but if they could find the answer of their questions on steem when they google it, assuming that it will be user friendly enough they would appreciate it's potential. it would be nice if such developments could be crowdfunded by steem users themselves.
Of course they can be crowdfunded. Directly by transfers or indirectly by upvoting posts related to such projects.
about privacy you have a point however it's much easier to give up your facebook pass than your private key, assuming that facebook has not given all your privacy up to NSA already LOL.
Very nice,,,

Hi! thank you for making it secure, and I hope you can make this more easier by developing an app.
Mui buena
liked it...voted.
keep the good work !! :)
I'm here on Steemit only yesterday, but I could see how important your efforts are to the perpetual progress of this great community. Security is what keeps a community like this safe and sound, gtg you got My vote..keep up ur great job
Thank you :-)
I vote for you . thank you so much
Thank you for the post. My support. I wish patience and wisdom.
I voted you :) thank you
I voted for you too, thank you for your work :)
What is witness ??
I would suggest you to read about Steem before you start using it (you started with copy&paste post which isn't the best idea to start your journey here...)
Gandalf 4 witness)
I was voting right now so had to take a look. Voting for you
I'm only the second day here. I vote for you
If I follow you, you will help me on my steemit posts?
I can give you a general, but still very valuable tip about your posts: high quality, original content.
And no, I don't care about being followed. One shouldn't do that in exchange of anything. Following someone makes sense only if their content is something you like. :-)
Good luck.
pls vote me up sir
Why? Are you providing some original, high quality content that I would be interested in?
Clearly your comment is not on subject at all and not the best way to gain popularity here (not to mention upvotes).
You have my vote! Thanks for everything you've done. Steem on!
Thanks for willing to vote for me (but you didn't yet).
good
I'm really happy to see you in top 2 of voting. Keep doing good work
Thank you :-)
Not Aiming top position... Now you are in the roof top
A lot has changed during that time. Amount of work related to Steem makes it even hard to find a time to update this post.
And that's good for me you have time to reply on my comments👌👌👌😄😄😄😄
That's Nice
Sometimes being humble brings you to the TOP
amazing and very useful for all of us, thank you very much. our warm greetings, added rewards and continue to triumph
excelente post

Thank you :-)
(the more votes witesses have the more frequent they produce blocks, thus the higher impact on security and reliability of the platform they have, and those who are in the top20 take part in block production in every round)
Welldone @gtg. I am a new steemian. I need help to grow. Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Just voted you. Thank you

Bro Please upvotes and follow me
I really get the feeling that it takes a lot of to make Steemit run. We own a great deal of thanks to those who help all, provide ideas, and test out matters like securities
very interesting just in the first hour I learned a lot I would like to know more I am from Venezuela (the situation is difficult) and I want you to advise me, follow me, vote and help me count on you.
Hi there, welcome to Steem :-)
There's no ultimate way to success on this platform, everyone needs to find their own way. For sure making a good introduction helps. Here's some nice example of a great #introduceyourself type of post that I've found recently:
It's Morphin Time! by @crypt0rhodes.
Engage with the community, avoid low effort posts and comments, focus on a high quality original content, work hard, be patient... and do that only when you like it. Treat potential rewards only as a nice side effect.
Good luck.
Thanks for steemit secure. I voted for you :)
I will give you my vote!!! Thanks for so excellent work!!!
ps. Love the angel picture.
ok
Which kind of power you are using, tell us also. plz

I like the way, the picture has been captured.
I am quite new in this blockchain and i dont know how some people gets many upvotes instantly but my post remains same with 0 upvotes, how to get mor upvotes please help
That depends on your audience, it's not that easy to build one. You need a lot of hard work, a lot of patience and a bit of luck.
Respect for where you are now man! It inspires me!!
Yo la verdad no se por quien votar, deben convencerme jajaja, son 30 votos y yo soy nuevo acá
No te preocupes.
Tómese su tiempo, aprenda más sobre Steem y los witnesses. :-)
Ok, si, supongo que tendré que darle a la opción de voto libre no?

But there are some good practices to follow:
Good luck!

I like steemit, but I'm sure it lacks fun, I read blog about crypto currencies and about the world economy, but when I get tired of reading, I want to see funny videos and I would like to see them on this page to make it grow every day more .
J’aime ton commentaire !
You can do it every thing if you want because its too much i like it

(You have just successfully approved witness @steemitboard)

All the way up!
thank you
you'r doing great, thanks!
Thank you for all you do to help this platform succeed.
Hey greetings and thanks for your input in the Steemit project. I'm new and finding my way around, aiming to vote. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but can you prhaps direct me to info or give me your opinion of the current firing of 70% of the staff that is in the news. I'm curious, concerned and interested and not sure what the right etiquette is in investigating the subject. Many thanks sir.
There's an important difference between Steem as a platform and Steemit Inc. as a company.
Some more info is in one of my recent comments, and when it comes to Steemit Inc. it's best to follow @ned's and @steemitblog's posts.
Ok good to know, many thanks @gtg. I will read your comment link.
I appreciate the great job done. My vote is in your favour.
Thank you
You had me @ Cat, but it also helps that you are a Wizard...lol. Voted 4 U...... And your Cat. =^,,^=
Thank you...
Time flies. This is a very old post. Cancer is a bitch. :-(
New to the platform. Do these votes still count.? I spent some time reading thru your posts, learned some great info. Will follow to learn more. Thanx..!!
Votes "works" only for 7 days after post/comment was published.
Then, they don't allocate rewards.
Two useful sites to check your account status:

Спасибо за познавательный пост!
ill devote u due to down vote my post no reason cheers
There's always a reason, but not always it's written in a comment. Usually, when there's a disagreement on rewards, no further reason is needed. That applies for both upvotes and downvotes, but for some reason people are more keen to accept former than latter.
So if you ask: First I saw your photo https://steemit.com/appics/@tipsybosphorus/appics-v1-appics-im-57470 that was tagged with #travelfeed, even though clearly ignoring community guidelines. OK, mistakes happen.
But when I saw that previous post was with a photo without giving credits, and next one - the downvoted one - some low quality photo boosted to $5 level value, I decided to vote accordingly.
Disagreement on rewards.
If you think that such content voting decision makes me a bad witnesses - well, it's up to you how you use your SP.
Stop answering like a politician, explain if there's something wrong, and it makes me sick in this way.
Than we can fix it 2gether thanks
#steem @steempeak
Very Good!!!!
You've showed up on my feed on more than a few occasions. After going through my witness votes and removing a couple inactives, I decided it would be prudent to vote for witnesses who are contributing, and you're one of 'em!
Thank you for your trust! :-)
