Steem Update
This week the 0.19.2 update (Steem Equality) was released.
https://github.com/steemit/steem/releases/tag/v0.19.2
It is a soft release that addresses miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements, in particular an improvement to the P2P network stability. Also, the docker deployment and documentation were updated to make deploying a new Steem node faster and easier.
updated Steem-in-a-box wasn't ready until the next day. Everything went smoothly, 0.19.2 was rolled out on each of my servers (primary witness, backup witness and seed) within 12h (I needed to sleep you know). The process went well with zero downtime and without missing any blocks.I started updating my servers as soon as it was announced (thanks @followbtcnews and @timcliff for notifying us about it). I had to rebuild manually since the
SBD APR
I did some chart analysis on the SBD price. Although Poloniex may lower the average price on the markets to $0.95, the volume traded there is actually much lower than on Bittrex, where the price has been pretty close to $1 since mid-July, albeit with some interesting daily swings (look at what happened on 22 August). Poloniex troublesome deposits/withdrawals have affected the SBD price dramatically in August, where the price dipped to $0.65! It's been slowly regaining in the past weeks; today it's around $0.97.

In light of these developments, I lowered my APR from 5% to 1%.
Bittrex had a few hours SBD/STEEM wallet maintenance this week (when I checked at least); they still provide a more reliable trading exchange than Poloniex. SBD/STEEM deposits/withdrawals remain disabled on Poloniex since my last three weekly witness updates.
Miscellaneous
- I continue to support new users in the help channel on Steemit.Chat, and I also support new witnesses with their setups when they need it.
- I launched my second art contest, Drakos Art Contest: Pirate Wench Theme, check it out and resteem it if you have artists among your followers. I'm testing the grounds for a new artists community, I hope to find enough curators and patrons to kick it off.
- struck again on the Steemit.Chat, after one month of calm. The usual cat and mouse game ensued, he flooded the chat with profanities, while me and a couple other moderators tried to clean his mess. He came back the next day too, but this time I encouraged the chatters to participate in fending him off. It was a success.@bilalhaider the flooder has

Mr Busy Reporter 😝
Congratulations! :) Onwards and upwards for you!
The technical stuff sends my mind into a whizz, so I can't comment on any of it!
Thanks for all you do.
Thank you. Did you fix your images problem already?
Lol! How did you see that, I deleted it!
Yes thanks, I found out I could drag from my clipboard, so I'm really pleased as the image issue was putting me off from posting.
So sweet of you to ask. I do hope you climb to number 1 witness!
I see everything 👁 LOL. I read it earlier when I woke up, I was going to comment after my morning hot cacao when I noticed you edited it, I thought you figured it out 😎
Haha! :) Yes hot cacao has to come first!
I'd tried to drag before but it hadn't worked, so clipboard it is!
Have a great day.
Voted!
Thanks :)
