RoelandP is an app developer and witness based out of Amsterdam.
RoelandP’s best-known contribution to the Steemit platform is probably the original Steemfest, which took place in Amsterdam in 2016. After 3 months of organization, the original Steemfest managed to draw 206 attendees from 31 nationalities across the world.
A talented event organizer, RoelandP made sure all the details of the original Steemfest were in order. This included everything from uploading media like photos and videos, organized livestream sessions, and managing payouts from the travel reimbursement fund to defray attendee travel costs.
The legacy of Steemfest lives on today, as Steemfest 2 in Lisbon, Portugal gets closer and closer. It looks likely to be an even greater success, with a huge proportion of key Steemit players from Steemit Inc. employees to witnesses confirming they will be attending! Truly, this author is looking forward to the effect on the Steem price as the date for Steemfest 2 arrives.
RoelandP is also the creator and maintainer of the Steem Appcenter, a thorough repository linking to 150 supplemental apps that run on the Steem blockchain.
A regular promoter of Steemit and the Steem blockchain, RoelandP has even given a presentation on the merits of Steem at the Oracle corporate headquarters in Amsterdam!
As noted above, RoelandP has made good on his promise 11 months ago to “Bring future Steemfests across the world“, as Steemfest #2 in Lisbon looks to be an amazing 5-day event. I am truly jealous I won’t get to attend, but regrettably, I did not book in advance nor reserve any funds to consider the trip as an option. (Instead, I dumped them all in my wallet here at Steem!)
RoelandP is a full Bitshare witness, #13. His node has a shockingly low missed block rate of only 14, which is less than 3% as high as the second best witness in the top #23, (openledger-dc). In other words, he’s missed 3% as many blocks as the SECOND BEST block-misser around the Bitshares platform (with less blocks missed being better).
RoelandP holds 185,000 SP and is powering down.
