Today my friends, we will take a look at the awesome website called https://steemian.info created by @Drakos which got tons of gold advanced knowledge about Steem!

Drakos has enriched us all with that website as you can see all 400 witnesses there, not only the 50 ones display on the official Witness list of Steem...

You also find a short voting and witness guide there! Perfect for everyone to finally understand what witnesses are and what they do without getting a headache.

There is also tons of other information like the Steem White & Bluepaper which explain how Steem runs, tech shit & more.

The Steem Bluepaper is a less complicated documentation and I recommend you all to read that. The more you know about Steem the better!

Drakos also listed communities there with a nice description, he listed tools, wrote about the Signup process and more!

But the most important feature is the witness ranking list which I am going to explain to you guys now.

The Witness Ranking List

There you see all 400 witnesses, even the inactive ones which Steem somehow doesn't want to remove...

The "full rank" displays the general rank of each witness and the "active rank" displays the actual rank of the witness as the dead ones actually shouldn't count.

Next to that are their nicknames on Steem and by clicking on them you get to their blog which is handy.

The green thumb is to give that witness your vote and the red one to remove that vote. By clicking on the grey "+" symbol you can see who gave them their vote. The chain symbol sends you to their witness declaration post.

Afterwards comes "Votes MV" which means how many MV they have gathered in total. It displays the total worth of all the votes they received.

Then comes "Voters" which displays how many votes they have gathered in total.

Next comes "missing blocks" which displays how many blocks they have missed. If one witness, for example, has missed 300 blocks then he basically lost 300 Steem power as each block gives you almost 1 Steem Power.

The "Last Block" displays what block they have processed recently. "Block Age" displays when the witness has processed his latest block in hours.

The "Reg Fee" displays the registration fee set, the "Block" displays the kind of blocks they process the "Ver" displays the hardfork version we run.

The "Price Feed" displays the STEEM/USD value, and "Age Feed (h)" displays when the latest price feed was uploaded by the witness.

"Bias" is shifting more (or less) rewards to be paid in SBD aka increasing or lowering the SBD supply.

And "APR" means 'Annual Percentage Rate' If you keep your steem dollars in the account you will gain for example 9% per year, compounded monthly.
