## Thank you very much !

I'm trying to automatically compile a status-report for german language content.
I was using the public API <code>node.steem.ws</code> to gather all data from the last 24 hours.
It was so awfully slow, that it would have taken almost another 24 hours.

Then I remembered, that I had seen a post by @gtg:

[gtg.steem.house runs a full node with a public steem API](https://steemit.com/witness-category/@gtg/gtg-steem-house-runs-a-full-node-with-a-public-steem-api)

## <center>node.steem.ws (top)   -- VS--     gtg.steem.house:8090 (bottom)</center>

In the screencapture above, you can see, how terribly slow the public Steem node can be.
In this case it's not doing anything.

I haven't yet found a better way, than to go through all operations that happened in the last 24 hours on the Steem blockchain. This now takes a few minutes and my report is finished (I have yet to bring it into a nice format, so I can automatically post it)
Since it looked like the script is frozen, I decided to print each operation's timestamp on the screen, while the script goes through them.
_It creates a nice matrix movie effect, too._ (I should have maybe changed the colors to green on black)

### If i had not already voted for @gtg witness, I would certainly do it now.

With some witnesses I don't even know, what they are doing ...
But this is certainly a helpful service.
I hope he can keep it up.
