Witness Update 11/03/2017 - swelker101 My Witness Project Announcement

in #witness-category7 years ago (edited)

I AM Pleased to Announce Minnow University!

As a moderator of MSP at PALnet, I have seen hundreds and hundreds of people asking the same questions about Steemit and other Condensor platforms that access the STEEM blockchain.


Mission Statement:

Educate Minnows on how to thrive on the steemit platform beyond the freebies. The bots will help, but they will not teach.

Give a minnow an upvote and he will receive a payout in seven days, teach a minnow to blog and he writes for a lifetime.

Server: https://discord.gg/QPKknw2 Minnow University

Goals: The main idea is to have a resource center for minnows to actually LEARN how to steemit correctly including articles, videos, and personal guidance

Purpose: Give back to the steemit community as a witness project


So on the witness front:

As far as the Server is going, it's a boring month to report, everything has been smooth sailing knock on wood. I WILL be upgrading to a 32 GB server at the end of the month to ensure I stay up-to-date with the current witness situation.

And while there has been some talk at Steemfest about changes on how witnesses may be run in the near future, I do not have enough information to wait and see. So 32GB will continue as planned.

I am currently sitting at 5.900GV which has me in position 71 (effective position 66) I am seeing 7 to 8 blocks per day right now. My short term goal is to reach 10GV so that I may be listed as an official MSP witness on the PALnet server. Thank you to each and every one of you that has voted for me.


Hey Shane, what else do you do?

I am part of the new Finance Committee with fellow witness @followbtcnews. We have just launched this group where we will work together to help MSP make sound and wise STEEM investments on the platform to help our minnows grow their accounts.

Besides the witness and moderating at MSP, I am also involved with three bot accounts.

I have few radio shows at mpswaves.com that I take part of. I am not always on mic, but I run controls for each one.

  • Blame The Shane: Hosted by myself and @kubbyelizabeth - We talk about all sorts of things including the Steemit platform, witnesses, and leadership.
  • Steemit Musicians: Hosted by @isaria and @krystle - This is a show that highlights the best open-mic entries for the week.
  • The Darkside: Hosted by @isara and @sunravelme with @torico - Discussion on different topics such as dream analysis, physcological issues, and whatever else comes up
  • Steemit Creative: Hosted by myself and @isaria - We discuss fantastic art that we have discovered or has been submitted to us.
  • Peace Academy: Hosted by @isaria and @aggroed - They discuss ideas and tricks on how to avoid and deal with conflict. - I do not run the controls on this one, but I am on the sidelines to help on @isaria's end

Over at The Writer's Block I have

  • The Shane and Muxxy Show: Hosted by myself and @gmuxx - Just insane fun, no topics, no real form, it's usually a flustercuck of madness.
  • State Of The Witness: Hosted by @anarcho-andrei - I co-host this show as we discuss witness and steemit issues and happenings.

A great idea~ let me know how I can help, shaners!
( I will inevitably blame you for the results.)

nice work mate, I'll have to drop in on the new server and see if I can contribute anything.

Oh, it's definitely in its infancy and still being built, but I'm working on it

small steps forward, but always moving forward.

What times are your shows on The Writers Block?

Friday nights I do State of The Witness at 6:30PM Central/ 11:30PM UTC
And Saturdays The Shane and Muxxy Show is on at 1PM Central / 5pm UTC

Thanks for the timings Shane. Guess I just missed the State of the Witness show - one for next Friday. Hope to catch the S & M Show later today.

Heh. There may not be a show tomorrow since @gmuxx is losing his new phone at Steemfest right now

Ah yes, forgot @gmuxx was at SteemFest. Hope he has had a jolly time there.

Awesome! I’m brand new here and this will be valuable!

Thank you! Thank you! As a minnow I've been confused about so many things. I love the idea of the Minnow University! I'll be there tomorrow to check it out!

Nice! Let me know if I can help out. I have some experience with curriculum development and online learning. My own experience is only months removed from that lost-minnow feeling.

The Shane is a busy busy boy! MSP University, where all the cool minnow go to school :-)

So glad to see YOU doing this. YOU specifically. It will be a good thing.
