Achievements
We have been working for three weeks now, many achievements have occurred on these days that require celebration. In the first place the inauguration of the Knitrias Project Community, which has launched activities and has in these few days 11 subscribers and 8 active users. This achievement which was part of the Roadmap has been now completed thanks to the support of the PoD Project by the Steemit Team (@SteemitBlog, @SteemCurator01). This initiative has delegated until now to @Knitrias 1000 SP.
Another great achievement is that the @Knitrias account is now itself a minnow, since it has reached +500 SP in stake. This is important in the evaluation of the progress since it was one of the previous points of observation to decide the viability of this project. Now we can say with clear certainty that the project will continue. With +2500 SP the account can now give up-votes that are very near to the dust-threshold.
It's important to remember some other points of the Roadmap in order to see the perspectives for the Members of the Project. For now, our Members are receiving the support of the project as a delegation of 200 SP, when a Member reaches the minnow level she/he becomes a Graduate Member. The delegation is given to a new Member, but the Graduate Member could chose to continue his support on the group. This support will constitute the continuity of the participation on the working group for a Graduate Memeber and new roles will be established to configure this participation: Moderator, Delegator, Curator, etc. These roles will be discussed and implemented on due time.
Curation trail
This week the Knitrias Project has been testing different tools to create the curation trail for the group. The tool that was found more effective without missing votes and calls for the trail was Steemrewarding. This tool allows setting vote-rules in order to follow an author's posts or following the votes of an account (trail). So here is a short tutorial on how the Members can join the trail of the @Knitrias account.
First you go to steemrewarding.com, you will see the next dialogue, write your account name and click login:
Next, you will be asked to log in to beem (A library to interact with Steem) through Steemconnect, (A tool to sign transactions keeping your keys safe in your computer and never share it with internet). Click continue:
In case you have not used Steemconnect, you will need to import your account. First click on import account and then introduce your username and Active Key. You will need to set your own password in order to use Steemconnect safely. Set your own password and confirm:
You will be returned to beem in order to log in.
Now you will be in the Steemrewarding tool, but you still need to authorize this tool to use your permission to vote. Click on the link to authorize:
You will be asked again by Steemconnect for confirmation to authorize Steemrewarding to vote on your behalf. Click continue and then introduce your recently created password for Steemconnect, click log in:
Now you have authorized Steemrewarding to vote on your behalf, you can confirm this authorization when you log in when you see Posting authority for rewarding: True
Now you will set your participation in the @Knitrias account trail. First go to the Tab: Add new rule, and then to the Tab: New trail vote rule.
Then you can check these parameters. As you can see @leveuf has un-checked the box for only_main_post, which means that he follows votes in posts and comments. Also has set the vote_weight_scaler at 75%, which means all the votes by @leveuf in the trail will be at 75% of the @Knitrias vote. For Members is recommended to set this value at 50%. Other values can stay as their default.
Finally you can check your new created trail rule in the tab Show rules:
All Members and supporters are invited to join the Curation Trail by the Knitrias Project on SteemRewarding.com

Branches of Longevity (10 SP)

Open Source (10 SP)
Theme: Witnesses (https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses)
Every blockchain is a continusly updated ledger in which every transaction is recorded. This ledger is under the custody of sveral nodes, corresponding to computers running the same code in order to validate and register these transactions. In Steem every transaction is registered in a block produced by a Witness (a Steem node), these blocks can contain several transactions and are produced each three seconds.
Witnesses on Steem not only produce blocks, but they are commited to the growth of the ecosystem by contributions on different areas: Development of applications, Documentation, Community creation, Curation work, etc. Each user has the right to cast up to 30 votes for these witnesses. The top 20 witnesses according to the Steem Power casted on the votes to them are the main producer of blocks for the Steem blockchain.
The challenge for this week consist in reserch for the work of these witnesses. What information they present? What are their goals and achievements? Have you casted some of your votes? What other function you found is performed by these witnesses? Questions, suggestions and information sharing can be made in the comments section of this post.
All the Members are invited to post their Open Source challenge content in the Project Hope Community directed by @Crypto.Piotr.
The Members are strongly invited to participate in the Discussion initiative by @Cmp2020. @Knitrias is sponsoring this initiative on behalf of the Members of the Knitrias Project.
