The user behind the witness is @bitmalaysia or you can call me as Anthony. I am currently living in Malaysia. I have been with Steem almost 2 years now since October 2016. Moreover, I am a software developer with a Computer Science degree from Ohio State University and over 10 years of software development and crypto technology's experience. Besides, I have been involved in projects with virtualization, AWS, software architecture, and provided consulting and software development services for major software companies, and over a dozen different startups.

Thanks for the great resource from @deltik's post, currently I am running the witness on Vultr's bare metal server using shared memory with zram. I am pretty sure that this specification will need to upgrade soon to avoid missed blocks happening on the blockchain. So far, I am still doing research on choosing the right hosting company on final hosting. Beside the popular Digital Ocean, I heard a lot of good reviews about @privex. If any of you have any recommendations or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
When the replay process completed 100% and @steem.racing witness is ready to service the community.
