Hello dear Steemians!

I am pleased to announce my intent to be an active witness for the Steem network

Two months ago, I joined Steemit and since then have spent much of my time exploring all aspects of it (technical, society, community, ...) I soon decided being more than a spectator or simple writer. I wanted to involve myself in building and make this community stronger, sharing positive values.

I have important background knowledge of project management, software development in different programing languages, infrastructure management (sysadmin, dbadmin, ... ) for over 25 years. Therefore, I try to use and share my knowledge and experience to help the community

Things I've done so far on Steemit

  • I open-sourced Steem.NET, a .NET API library for Microsoft .NET VB and C# developpers
  • I created SteemSQL, A public SQL database with all blockchain data
  • I did my best to help the French speaking community to develop by supporting French writers
  • I focused on curating high quality posts
  • I have been active on several channels on steemit.chat
  • I tried to inspire positive attitude in my posts and comments.

What's next?

  • More to come about SteemSQL, stay tuned.
  • I will continue to support emergence of people speaking other languages than English
  • As soon as those project are on the track, I will post on diverse topics I love like philosophy, science, society, travel, ...
  • I’m definitely a Steemit addict and plan stay being involved and helpful, both on Steemit and Steemit.chat
  • I will continue to curate posts with high quality content, share my thoughts, and reinforces links with and between our community members

My witness infrastructure

I set up two separate servers:

  • a private witness node
  • a public seed node at seed.arcange.eu:2001

Nodes are running on Xeon E5-1650v2 3.5Ghz 6 cores with 64 GB RAM Servers are in a EU datacenter with high bandwidth and 24x7 availability.

My goal is to provide a reliable witness with as little downtime as possible. As soon as I get enough witness support (i.e. votes from you), I will scale up the infrastructure to different datacenters spread over the world, adding backup nodes to provide HA and DR.
