Steemit Quebec Witness
Hello Steemians, I am submitting my services as Steemit Quebec first Witness.
I got involved with Steemit Quebec and EOS Quebec thanks to @pnc and I plan to present and help organise meetups in and around Montreal.
I'm a DevOps with over 20 years of experience in the field. I've administered Unix / Linux systems since 1994 and began programming at the tender age of 10 with the Commodore VIC-20.
I was introduced to Steemit by @jerrybanfield last June and I've learned to appreciate the value it brings to the world and I've been looking for ways to contribute ever since.
Server Specifications
I've chosen a powerful server with a lot of ram and fast drive to be future proof as steem will for sure take off in a big way in 2018.
Witness node | Infrastructure |
---|---|
Operating System | Ubuntu 16.04 LTS |
Processor | 8 vCores X 2.4 Ghz |
RAM | 120 GB |
Hard Drive | 200 GB SSD |
Bandwidth | 511 Mbps |
Security
- Remote Hosting in Canada
- SSH keys to login
- Password authentication disabled
- Root login disabled
Settings
- Creation Fee: 0.1 STEEM (following @pfunk's lead)
- Maximum Block Size: 65536
- 0% APR since the SBD value is high
- The price feed is being published hourly using conductor.
Here are some of my latest contributions to steem
- How to build the linux Desktop wallet for the Steem blockchain Vessel from source code
- 12 merged pull requests as part of the LORIS Imaging working group
- French translation for SteemPi
- 96 merged pull requests as part of the LORIS Neuroimaging Platform team
- Additional steps to Manual installation of the dependencies of EOS
- Corrections in the example for Transferring funds with the sample "currency" contract
You will find that most of my post are done on @utopian-io and for that reason I would like to thank @elear for his contributions and dedication; I feel right at home here.
The server went live on December 26th 2017 and has been ready to step in to make blocks ever since. Many thanks to @jamzed in the witness chat for helping me setup my witness config and answering my questions.
The future
I plan to setup a seed node and a backup witness server soon.
