As you might have discovered from my previous post Witness Update 2018-07-03 - The day the Steem blockchain froze, the Steem blockchain was totally frozen today. None of the witnesses, including top 20 ones, could produce a block due to a bug triggered by an invalid transaction. It was a stressful time for a lot of witnesses, some have missed several blocks, some are still down. I have disabled my witness temporarily until it is stable, this will prevent me from missing any blocks and affect the network.
Singing mood again
Yesterday I posted my entry to the Steemit #openmic contest with a Ukulele cover of "Blowing in The Wind" by Bob Dylan. As I woke up this morning, I saw a lot of upvote notifications from unusual steemit accounts, then I saw the potential payout of $38 STU! What?! Then I saw a notification from @lenancie on Discord announcing that my Ukulele post has received an upvote from @curie: OMG! 🤣That's so cool. That had been such a long time since my previous (and first) Curie upvote, it definitely made my day.
Today, before lunch, I made an entry to @simgirlandsnook Bad Karaoke Contest round 8 with a cover of "Will you still love me tomorrow" by The Shirelles in the style of Lobo"
Contest result from ULOG 007
17 days ago, damn times flies! 🤣, I wrote ULOG 007 - A very long day! and there was an unofficial contest within that post where I asked my readers the following:
Let's play a little game. I'll give 1 SBD to whoever can tell me what this photo is. Obviously, this is a shadow of me. But, you need to guess what object is casting that big shadow around me. If there are more than one correct answer or if there is no correct answer, I'll draw a random winner.
There was a little clue photo showing a larger view, the clue is all the shadows above the one around me:
Sooooooo, the answer is:
Here are the participants and their answers:
| Name | Answer |
|---|---|
| @evlachsblog | The shadow around you is like an arch of some sort. I don't know.. hahah!!! |
| @phoenixwren | My guess on the shadow is a Ferris wheel |
| @lecongdoo3 | A tree with a weird shape |
| @lenancie | A kind of arched gate in a funfair |
| @carlpei | The arching arms of your kid or wife |
| @lantracy | The shadow of a shade cloth from the playground |
| @nguyentienduc | cái đu quay (a Ferris wheel or carousel) |
| @gaovang | The arching arms of your boy |
| @symonp | I think someone (your wife maybe) arching their arms up in the sky and you stand in the middle of its shadow |
| @supersoju | I'm guessing it is a Ferris wheel that is making the shadow |
So we have three correct answers:
I'm in good mood today so I won't be picking a random winner today, you will all receive 1 SBD each!
Thank you @carlpei for reminding me of announcing the winners! I totally forgot about it with all those night shifts messing up with my body clock. You "saved my life" twice today, very much appreciated!

Password and Private Keys security
You all know that your Steem password is the access to all your STEEM, SBD, posting, transferring, everything... right?
So, please, follow these simple steps and keep yourself safe:
- Apart from the initial setup of your account, NEVER use your password ANYWHERE, if stolen, it will give full control to your Steem account.
- Backup your password and keep it somewhere safe. Use a password manager like Lastpass, print it on paper and put it in a safe (no kidding). If you forget your password, no one can help you out.
