Riverhead is probably best known as a key developer and server manager for the Steemit.chat service, a key piece of secondary infrastructure for many Steemit communities. In particular, certain community-serving channels such as the “Steemit Abuse” channel operate only thanks to the hard work behind the scenes at Steemit.chat.
For a long time, before a few key Discord communities like MSP were established, Steemit.chat was the go-to location for the most up-to-date Steemit information. Even today it retains a large demographic of key users, with the witness channel in particular continuing to see substantial collaboration and activity.
Riverhead has also generously donated 10000 SBD to the Steemfest 2 initiative as a sponsor. Truly, a massive sum and the largest single donation of any kind from any Steemian that I am aware of.
In his spare time, Riverhead has contributed the python code for a few small bots around the Steemit ecosystem, including an internal market bot and a price-pegging bot for the Bittrex/Coinbase spread on SBD.
Riverhead is also a Bitshares standby witness, at #36. He is also in the process of becoming a witness on the Muse blockchain, a DPOS based music curation project.
Riverhead is holding 694,000 SP and is NOT powering down, demonstrating substantial faith in Steemit long-term.
