Abit is an experienced developer and node-operator for the Bitshares network. Based in Asia, the experience shows; Abit’s Bitshares witness node has one of the best long-term records for avoiding dropped blocks of all active witnesses.
Abit is also a diligent software developer with an active github page, with 170 contributions in the last year. Since most of Abit’s work is on Bitshares and the Graphene Blockchain, Abit is particularly well-suited to operating and troubleshooting a Steem witness node.
@Abit has been known to use "its" powerful vote to curate, but is not a frequent poster. The account is also managed by a team of “trusted curators”, including: @oflyhigh, @myfirst, @jademont, @rivalhw, and @pfunk, the latter of which is also a member of @steemcleaners. As a result, if you receive a vote (or flag) from @abit, this may not be the witness themselves but one of the curation team members.
Abit is currently the #1 Witness for Bitshares, a huge accomplishment demonstrating a large amount of faith from users of the “that other” Graphene blockchain-based technology.
Abit holds 1.7 million SP and is NOT powering down, demonstrating huge faith in Steemit long-term.
