Hi, according to the @jerrybanfield post (100 Steem for witness below rank 80), I would like to explain my contribution as a witness.
Before that, I would like to introduce my self. I'm french steemian (like @drakos and @arcange). I'm working as network specialist and I'm a father a of little child 3 years old.
The Francophone community is small and despite the huge contribution of @roxane and @oroger, we do not have enough technical information about steem blockchain. Because of that, there's a lot of francophones asking themselves basic questions about bandwith, reward and so more.
Why I choose to be a witness ? there are several reasons :
- I love learning how something works (especially when I use it everyday);
- I like to share what I have learned;
- I want improve my dev skills
My witness activity
Almost every day, I help francophone users on @francosteemvotes discord. When necessary, I delegate some SP to solve low bandwith and create new steem account.
I explain some informations about the SBD and how to choose the reward option (TLDR : choose 50/50 while SBD > USD). I almost always write in french for my frenchophone fellows.
Some contributions :
But I'm talking about the phylosphy of steem when necessary (Steem, we need to talk).
I'm actively publishing on utopian.io. I have two repo :
- a steem <-> euro (as askeed by my friend @yann0975) : A Simple tool to convert Steem to Euro
- a tool that explain how reward is computed, what is the best option between 50-50 and 100% SP, and estimate the author's reward : ShoMySteemReward
My setup
I'm using a VPS server of https://www.scaleway.com.

I'm using the docker solution provided by @Someguy123 and conductor provided by @furion. Thx for all mate !
One last word
Thx to @jerrybanfield to give an opportunity for witness below 80. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I think a witness need to find its on way to pay his own server.
Currently, I pay my own server with my publications on utopian. I hope, other witness will find a solution.
You can find me on steemit.chat and on the discord of @francosteemvotes (https://discord.gg/XFGr4jG) / PAL / Busy
