I appreciate the update, reading the comments I found a new tag for a steemit friend to possibly look into @sebbbl's Steemactivities. I would like to thank all the respondents, the comments of post are a great place to find those hidden gems.

Glad to see this update! Slowly but surely going up in ranks. :) After the dreaded missed block encountered by many accounts during the spam attack, happy to hear about the server update and having 0 missed blocks in the past couple weeks. 

Great work Asher and Paula!

hey guys, how's it going?

does anyone know how much steem ned owns?   i was reading the following,  https://steemit.com/smt/@roundbeargames/why-steem-is-centralized-yet

does anyone find that potential concentration troubling ?

Thank you for being part of so many good community building projects; it's something Steemit definitely needs to balance out the "purely tech" witnesses. Keep up the good work!

=^..^=

You are doing just great! Keep it going!
@abh12345 you know what community I am goong to put forward. Don’t you?



Yep, the @sbcbot!

Thanks for the update @steemcommunity.

I'm very glad to hear that it all seems to be going well for you. Onwards and upwards! 😍

Three blocks a day, eh? Pretty cool. So is not missing one. That's even cooler. :) So is being witness 89. Moving up the ranks.

Well, you two are involved in all kinds of things that I didn't even know existed, but the ones I am aware of all sound good to me, so keep up the good work.

Seems like great work you are doing. I voted for your witness.

The @ivote is a good initiative and one that most people in the platform should follow and be informed.

I am part of the @promo-mentors community and our aim is to mentor, encourage and retain Steemians who were brought over by the @promo-steem movement or just anyone that is new to the platform and needs help in being mentored and know the ins and outs of the platform so that they become well adjusted Steemians.

We have an encouragement boost vote that we give out to people who attend the mentor workshop and is seen by the mentors as someone who is trying their best and would like to encourage to keep on Steeming.

It would be appreciated if you would follow our trail and be part of our encouragement to Steemians.

@promo-mentors see itself as a community for Communities as we are open and would like to continue providing mentoring to people through our mentors who are part of curie and OCD. 

More than that we have an initiatives program that we support advocacy and initiatives of people.

Now I also handle the account @giftinkindph who is committed to create a sustainable option of funding it's charity activities using the gift economy of the Steem blockchain.

Post earnings that is made will be used for its activities but a portion will also be used to continually power up and support manually curated posts in the charity and upfundme tags. 

All it's SP delegation is from me and I am a believer of doing something first before I ask other people to delegate and believe in our vision. 
We are in the blockchain in the long run and believe in humanizing the Steem Blockchain through humanitarian efforts.

I am your new follower hope have a great jounery with you.

Thank you for supporting @noblebot and other projects. I highly appreciate it.

There is a small typo in @noblebot's name 6th list item.

Good morning (here) on a great day in America @steemcommunity - @paulag and @abh12345.  Relatively new (starting May 14th ...) to contributing to our Steem Community and learning as I go, I have recently been focused more on making decisions about our all-important Witnesses.

This morning I have “pulled the lever” for @steemcommunity with the +4.2 MVests over which I have a controlling interest (2 accounts):

Why?  Initially, one of your posts, @paulag, caught my eye (interesting, is it not, what it takes to get “discovered in here” …) and then, more recently, glancing through your posts, @abh12345.  I made my final decision on the impressions made by your [Steem: Don’t forget to look up](https://steemit.com/steemit/@abh12345/steem-don-t-forget-to-look-up) post @abh12345 and the many links tied to it (now following you @tarazkp!).

Upvoted.  Resteemed (on your above mentioned post @abh12345 …).  And joined (for now) your Discord channel.  My small part completed …

Respectfully, fellow Steemian @roleerob

P.S.  While I have elected to do what I can in writing this, to keep it separate from the “good news” above, I cannot let it pass that I nearly changed my mind on reading through this “bad news” [post](https://steemit.com/steemdev/@steemcommunity/witnessupdate3announcing2excitingnewsteemittools-3ku6y8lgc8):

<p><center><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZT8DzKjhjr9mtyuFD5iHx9q3iELKEaeLz7ReeFTd5kHe"></center></p>

So …  On balance, I greatly admire the considerable effort you both are investing into our Steem Community.  It is on the strength of that perception that I have gone ahead with my decision.  However, I __*highly recommend*__ you do not let the lingering impressions from this post stand.  It is now “forever enshrined in the blockchain” and cannot simply be ignored.

Yes, “mistakes happen,” but this was __*not*__ just any mistake.  If you are going to __*assume the authority*__ to personally judge and then “black list” other members of our Community, you simply __*must*__ get it right.  Or don’t even start ...  Far too much is at stake, as you’ve presumably now (should have before now) learned …

Perhaps I have missed it “in here” somewhere, but I do not think you have adequately communicated to your supporters, let alone our wider Steem Community, what you have learned from this and what we can, therefore, expect in the future.

Accountability is __*very*__ important to me.  My reputation is __*very*__ important to me.  As mentioned above, I have resteemed this post to my followers.  I trust you will find / make the time to put together a well-considered follow-up message (__*not*__ a comment …) in a future @steemcommunity __*post*__, to assure us the decision to support you both as one of our vital Community Witnesses was a good one.

[Note:  Down here in the “fine print” (just joking, as font size options are not yet available, as far as I know …)  yes, I realize this “comment” reads more like a “post,” but I see no better way in this platform to “get your attention.”  For what it is worth, though, in writing my upcoming “Update: Month 2” post, links to this comment will be in it!]

@abh12345 and @paulag I only recently discovered what you guys are doing with the @steemcommunity witness and I think it is really great and one of the most undervalued witnesses i've seen on the platform.

@abh12345 - though we disagree on some things you've shown that you're open minded and willing to engage in respectful and constructive discussions which I think is one of the most important traits for someone who takes part in running a community-based, decentralized platform like Steem.

You can count on my witness vote (for what it's worth) and my support for your projects where I can!
