RE: Witness Update - The Responsibilities of a Steem Witness

Well first off I think there's a big difference between things users should know and things that witnesses should know. For users, I made a post a while back with a list of things I think are important to learn if you're really serious about Steem: https://steemit.com/steemit/@yabapmatt/how-to-steem-part-1-learn-learn-learn

My list at this point is focused on many technical details that I think are important for top witnesses to know, but definitely not necessary for non-witnesses. One newer item on the list, for example, is understanding in detail how the bandwidth limiting works on the platform.

I understand it at a high level but don't know exactly how the "current_reserve_ratio" is set and how it changes and what things can be done both short term and long term to help the situation.

Thanks for the link to that post @yabapmatt, I found it pretty helpful.

This is all most likely stuff you already know, but I found another recent post going over the technicals behind the badwidth limits: https://steemit.com/bandwidth/@timcliff/steem-bandwidth-user-experience-issue.

Thank you for the thoughtful response! Keep up the good work!
