Pfunk is one of the oldest users on Steemit, and as he notes in his original witness post, he acquired much of his stake via mining. That definitely puts him in the running for “most technical Steemian”, as from what I understand, only a few users who mostly closely followed the Steem project participated in the CPU mining portion of the initial distribution.
To think, I was probably wasting the cores of my i7 on Civilization VI at the time. Oh well, at least I was generating culture with that mining.
Much of Pfunk’s efforts on the Steemit platform revolve around fighting abuse. Pfunk donates weekly to the Steemcleaners initiative. Pfunk is also active in curating and curbing abuse directly, via the abuse channels in Steemit chat and flagging directly. He is a fixture of the Steemit.chat channels, where he can often be seen tending to these issues.
Pfunk is a sponsor of the Steemit Open Mic initiative, which aims to recognize musicians on Steemit and support them with rewards (and rather good ones at that.)
Check out the OpenMic tag here.
Pfunk also likes to post photography and has previously used Steemit rewards to upgrade his camera equipment in the past.
Pfunk is also a Peerplays witness.
Pfunk holds 35,000 SP and is powering down.
