SAVE STEEMIT.COM! Steemit Forever - Diary Of A Wimpy Witness
I've been seeing these a lot more often lately. Too often if you ask me. I've devised the beginnings of an initiative to help eliminate issues like these and others, but I can't do it alone. This is an issue that has been brought up on many occasions by myself and others who are concerned about the overall health of the blockchain, and most importantly our wallets! Please consider giving one of your 30 witness votes to witness @justinadams so that it can possibly just Maybe produce enough blocks to allow me to create more seed nodes. The key to this project is not to wrest power or control from other witnesses namely the top 50. That's not the agenda at all. It's to ensure that they do not create a singularity with our steemit data in tow as they have politically and financially aligned themselves. Many people have seen my posts regarding these issues and browse right past them without thinking twice about the subject at hand. Some top posters (some who are also witnesses) even release weekly or bi-weekly updates regarding witness activities etc. Not a single one of those reports included a link or share of information regarding @justinadams witness updates though I've been sharing them frequently outlining my proposed solution to some of our technical shortcomings. Some have even responded that they would "just go to busy.org" if steemit.com goes down or becomes unstable. WHAT? No offense to @busy, but the frame of mind that many people are leaning towards when it comes to steem's health is an "I dont care" approach. According to @jerrybanfield, Only about 5% of the steem community actually votes for witnesses. That's frightening when you think about who some of the most lucrative steem projects belong to, how they obtained their votes and the entities that they represent. But that's all a different story for another time. Right now, we need to stabilize our foundations. I have resorted to using bots to promote these posts. I've funded them with my OWN cash because many whales are afraid of a "conflict of interest" by passing one of their 30 FREE witness votes. Not even a shout out. I feel like the new guy on the block that actually picks up the trash and cleans up the landscape for the community to do my fair share, and they are the guys that live in the cul-de-sac at the end of the street saying "Stupid idiot, Clean up my mess... bum". I have no issue cleaning up messes for people if it helps the community as a whole. But people at least owe it to themselves to show some appreciation back. You can do that for me in the form of witness votes for @justinadams. Anyone can vote but especially from some of you with relatively high voting weight. At this point, It would help me more than it would hurt me if this project doesn't see the light of day as it is costing me time and money im sure you can imagine. I'm going to use the last SBD (not many) in my account to try to promote this post to get support as whales have never voted for my posts regarding this in the past unless I paid them to so what other choice is left? Politics aside, hands down this is a good cause and most importantly, necessary. This is an everyone problem and by no means are witnesses responsible for owning 100% of it but if that's how people want it then perhaps i'm missing the ball somewhere? If a person cant bring themself to vote for a cause like this because of "conflict of interest" or any other reason they feel that something like this could threaten their own presence on the network, then all I can say is

You Can Also Opt To Donate SP Directly To @justinadams By Using One Of The Links Below.
50SP, 100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1000SP, 5000SP.
I thought you would require to have at least 100,000 to be eligible for being a witness? is that true? please enlighten me before I vote for you
Nope son goku. If you check the list at steemian.info/witnesses you will see that witness @justinadams (me) is indeed listed and active. One of the main prerequisites of being a witness is actually knowing how to do it. The rest is politics. Unfortunately for us, we don't have 100,000 or anywhere near it. But I created a bot named @chainchoppers that you can delegate SP to anytime and receive a return. I'll be using 50% of all blocks produced to power up @chainchoppers steemit account so that it can upvote all participants according to their donated SP amount. Will be announcing instructions on how to do that soon but hopefully it will help us gain more traction for this project. Thanks for replying
One upvote for having a wicked title. One witness vote coming your way in return for your passion to support the community.
Thank you very much man. I'm not generally the type to cause a stir or panic but the situation is real and frustrating nonetheless. I'm building software and apps for steem that rely on total availability of the network. I have the know how, there is no reason i shouldn't be doing my part if i can. Thanks again for your vote.
Ditto...and another one here!
Nice post
Dear Justin Adam , you have my witness vote, but I’m not happy with the auto reply on everything I write, is it possible to stop this?
Actually if this auto reply will follow me around for much longer I see no other option than to take away my witness vote, and I bet you will have this problem with more steemians. This is your post I get on every reply I leave. It’s just too much.
Hahaha. That was entertaining to watch. It was a coding mistake, he’s sorry, and he fixed it.
It was funny indeed!

It’s almost funny.
Don’t get me wrong, I like you as a witness.
Just not the good intended auto reply.
Hi There! You have just been upvoted by @justinadams Witness. You will always recieve a free upvote on every post you make on steemit as long as you keep your witness vote. Thanks For Your Support.
Yeah! Thank you.
Actually, I should have just posted as much replies, as possible and gotten upvotes on everything. Only 100 posts for about a dollar in upvotes. I should have tried, just for the sheer humour of it. Just kidding, just kidding.
Keep up the good work. You have my vote!
Hi @justinadams, I was wondering if you could please quit upvoting all of my comments. It's pretty annoying. I wouldn't be so annoyed if the vote was worth anything, but it's just a stock response comment and 0.00. I would rather have nothing and I hope I don't have to take my vote away to get it to stop.
Thank you for the sentiment though, unless you are just pandering for more votes by letting everyone that I comment on know that you are buying votes. If that's the case then I will revoke my vote.
Thanks

Yeah, this is the thing I'm talking about. If I'm the only one who is bothered by this, then I'll shut up, but man it's annoying after every comment. If it was on the actual posts, that would be okay, but every comment?
