Thank you for giving me the chance to serve as one of our top 20 witnesses on Steem as seen at https://steemian.info/witnesses. I intend to be available every week to listen to what you have to say during this live stream on @dlive every Wednesday from approximately 10 am to 11 am EST!
Update! The @dlive servers are not working for today for me and the recording of this live question and answer session is now on YouTube! Next week we try the @dlive servers again!
Not sure what a witness is? Reading https://busy.org/steemit/@gmichelbkk/what-is-a-steem-witness-how-to-vote-and-why might help answer a lot of questions. The short answer is that witnesses are responsible for the function we think of as mining in other blockchains with the top 20 witnesses voting whether to accept new hard forks and producing the majority of the blocks while the backup witnesses in positions 21 and below stand by to serve in the top 20 and produce collectively one block every 63 seconds.
If you want to learn more about everything I do as a witness, will you visit https://busy.org/witness/@jerrybanfield/steem-witness-roadmap-for-jerrybanfield-in-2018 because this post shares the main projects I work on each day?
Executive Summary
The main contributions I make as a witness are promoting Steem and helping fund growth projects. I resteem every growth project funded and have a developer that nearly has a functional P2P Steem/USD exchange beta ready including SteemConnect and a basic interface.
For those that like data, here is a picture of my Google AdWords account this month showing 1.8 million impressions in April for ads that promote Steem! We may have an effective way to promote Steem indirectly to entrepreneurs looking to launch smart media tokens even after the Google cryptocurrency ban takes effect in June 2018! The budget for these ads is at http://jerry.tips/steemads
Here is my Twitter where all of these impressions are free and 95% promoting Steem with @busy.org links mostly to other authors from https://twitter.com/JerryBanfield.
Last 28 days on Facebook nearly all of the reach going to busy.org and steemit.com again mostly featuring other authors because all my resteems go to Facebook also from https://www.facebook.com/jbanfield.
Yesterday I made an hour and a half pitch video for Steem on YouTube and Steem at https://steemit.com/dlive/@jerrybanfield/3ffc3520-426a-11e8-836a-b9befc1a6029!
Time for Questions!
Will you ask me any questions you want answered or tell me anything you want to hear now because I am available to listen to what you have to say for the next hour?
Thank You!
Thank you very much to @transisto for helping me see the value of presenting this information to be accountable for what I am doing to promote Steem outside of steemit.com each month.
I appreciate the nearly 7,000 of us placing witness votes for me as seen at https://steemdb.com/@jerrybanfield/witness under the votes tab. When you want to join us, will you please use one of these links because we feel good helping each other grow and building stronger relationships?
Setting a witness proxy is ideal for never having made a witness vote and not wanting to actively maintain 30 votes at https://steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-proxy?proxy=jerrybanfield&approve=1
Placing a witness vote is best for those already having voted and wanting to make every vote manually along with removing inactive witnesses at https://steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-vote?witness=jerrybanfield&approve=1.
While I may have used up the work thank you in this post already, I am grateful you took the time to read about this witness update which I intend to do every week on @dlive same time and place as today!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
Fuck off you two bit scammer.
See what happens to all of your sheep? I slaughter them.
That's good, they do need a lesson if they can't distinguish the wolf from the shepherd. They do get annoyed, the sheeps, but a cold shower is mostly always needed in order to wake up from the 'drunkness' of ignorance . I try to be vegetarian, but i did enjoyed this cannibalistic metaphor haha
Wow berniesanders and his (or her) six sockpuppets accounts really shown a lowly plankton his huge e-penis (or e-tits).
I would laugh if it wasn't so sad. Wasting all that voting power to downvote a plankton who never made more then one steem on a comment or posting. And more then ever I fear that the egoism of the orcas and whales are going to destroy Steemit.
The disdain that Jerry Banfied received on this platform is one of the few things he actually earned. His following, his façade, the persona he conveys... these things are bought. Jerry is the foremost witness interesting in profit versus promoting a more ideal ecosystem favoring manual curation.
I yearn for the day that he answers me since long ago but suspect it will be avoided for there are no truth for which he can stand on. His position is indefensible under critical scrutiny. Some people are able to be persuaded by tricks and craft facilitated by money for witness votes. Not me.
I am persuaded by competence and forward thinking. Jerry's approach demonstrates he has no grasp on either. He sure can market but his game is one of smoke and mirrors which will leave a BAD taste in peoples mouth.
If Jerry really is concerned about Steem, he will hire people to better police his and his colleagues bots because I have grown weary of doing it for free.
That might all be true. But @berniesanders using bots to indiscriminately down vote each and every comment, including critical comments like mine, is not the answer either.
Quite the opposite. Both sided deploying The Bots Of War will destroy Steemit.
I too think that steemit should favour manual curation. But I fear it is to late for that. We would need some painful (for the whales) changes to salvage Steemit.
Congratulations @jerrybanfield!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:

@eurogee of @euronation community.
Keep up the good work. I have already voted for you.
Hello Mr Banfield, Sincerely I want to appreciate all you have been doing here on steemit and outside steemit. Just as @jareen61 rightly said, you alone seem to be worthy to be on that list......
I think you are the only qualified person to stay inside the position, whose tireless work and every ad in social media makes me very impressed because you work harder to stay here, hopefully you will go much further and the front path will be more accessible for you. You could retain this director.
hello @jerrybanfield
I always follow your footsteps, I think you have tried so well that you get the best.

Hello bro you doing great.
I want ask one question.How you have added so much tags when on steemit allows only 5 tags.???
Wonderful dlive..i appreciate your lifestyle..all the best..
Awesome job promoting steemit. I recently got added to the steemit promoters list on twitter. Everyone should be sharing steemit posts on other social media sites.
Thanks to you and what you do, we are lucky to find out what we need to know. From your posts you can see that you are giving yourself all the interest in what you do, I imagine that you spend enough time to make these formidable useful posts and that sometimes it takes you away from the little pleasures of life to do these things. That's why I want to thank you and to Say that you are good .
To be honest, I really do not know much about witnesses. I even only know sir surpassinggoogle. HAHA :D Now, it's already two because I knew you too. :D I am still new here in the platform and I still have a lot of things to learn and a lot of articles to read. :) How many witnesses are there all in all? Are there a lot of you guys here? Hehe. Just curios. :)
Good post brother me
congratulation you
Dear @jerrybanfield why everyone jealous on you and blaming for the abuse while it seems every either person on Steemit is for it's personal interest and benefits then why they are accusing a guy who is spending almost half million for the betterment of this community.
I am jealous too why I am not mirror of @jerrybanfield
God bless you my friend and my inspiration.
I am here due to you.
Vielen Dank for responding fast to my questions. 100% Upvote.

good job @jerrybanfield
대단하신분 같애
hello jerry ,this is cool
“25 Reasons Steem” 11:50 Have you missed out on https://www.minds.com ? Minds already had over 1 million registered users and they add smart media tokens based on Ethereum. There is a competitor with more users coming up.
I am not saying Steemit won't make it. In fact I think competition is good and might help Steemit.
Keep up the good work. I have already voted for you
Hello jerry, your posts have a lot of effort put into them and keep us all up to date.
Sorry for asking but would help support my mental health page at all. I write mental health blogs.
Thanks, MHG
Having the right mindset from the beginning will naturally help you scale through all the hurdles of getting what you want to do done.
Wow great job jerry, you amazing man👍👍
can i call you ?
Hi @JerryBanfield.
I did a quick Google search to see if you posted an article on the Hivemind project. I did not find anything. Ironically, it is my understanding that Hivemind will enable us to manage our posts, thus making it easier to find out stuff like this.
Do you think Steemit will become attractive to Facebook users when the 1.5 version comes out?

I hope so since I plan to give Steemit a full time try once I get some where over 500 SP. I am also really interested in EOS as I suspect you are too. Viewed some of your EOS content as well as the Larimers. I am having a hard time predicting if Steemit admin will settle their mini feud and collaborate with EOS.
If it does deliver a new type of network alternative to the Internet, would not Steemit be wise to join the blockchain side?
