JESUS. godlike, headshot, whatever you wanna call it. that's amazing, and i know if i was in the same position i'd do the same. when you say witness pay can you expand on that a little, i know it's one of the kinda nodes right that stores the blockchain. but the pay is from an intergral part of the way the witness part works? sorry, i kinda get it.

You're on the right track. The witnesses sign the blocks that contain the transactions and cause the chain to grow. Every time a witness signs a block they get a reward paid in vests (steem power) much like bitcoin miners get a reward for solving a block.
got it! thanks!
Hey! Would you mind explaining what VESTS are? I have seen the symbol several times, and I understand they are related to Steem Power, but I don't really get how, are they the same? What is their purpose?
Thank for the info!
