Bhuz is very experienced with protocol-wide crashes in the crypto-sphere. He was one of the first witnesses to help restore the Bitshares network during the two network-freezes experienced by it in 2015/2016. Given all the site instability and DDoS attacks as of late, I am relieved to have a solid technical mind with disaster recovery experience available to the blockchain.
Now, if only we could get him into the office to help Steemit Inc. perform whatever animal sacrifice is required to re-jigger the site borkulator, we’d really be in business.
Bhuz posts (very) rarely, but when those posts happen they are nearly always either attempts to engender public debate on critical updates to Steemit, help reward valuable content creators on Steemit, or witness updates.
Bhuz’s multi-part “Find and Reward” series was an early focal point for curation on Steemit nearly 1 year ago. Bhuz has also argued passionately for debate around some very large changes Steem went through during HF17, including changes to the reward pool and the reward payout window.
Bhuz is the #2 (!!) witness on Bitshares, with a high reliability rating, and also a witness on the Peerplays and Muse blockchains. It is safe to say Bhuz is not lacking experience in running a reliable witness node!
Bhuz holds 224,000 SP and is NOT powering down, demonstrating substantial faith in Steemit long-term.
