Gooooooood Morning!!!!!!
Today, Aug 30, 2017 I am officially declaring my entry as a Steem Witness..but what does this mean to YOU.
If you are familiar with Blockchain technologies you will remember that there is a very important component to the distributed network called miners who are the responsible for creating new blocks into the ledgers, verifying transactions amongst other functions ...Well in SteemIt we don't have any miners (or we don't call them that way), we call them Witnesses and we are a key component to the puzzle.
Last night I decided to participate and become a Witness with the resources I have available to me at the moment to serve the community.
My role is to help ensure the integrity of the blockchain by participating and having nodes always available up and running so that you can have peace of mind our community will stand for long. Blockchain is the future and our constant participation in the process will allow us to have a seemless path into the future where more of us can enjoy
I have a background in Telecommunications Engineering, my favorite topic was always Cryptography but since early years in my technology career I always believed technology should be a Human Right, rather than a priviledge. My disertation back then about VoIP and Free communications was the first step into a new world.
I stepped into further roles developing architectures and helping build the 4G LTE networks in the USA. My mission was always to guarantee integrity in the network so that you and I could always enjoy good quality uptime while watching our favorite videos on the phone or chatting to our loved ones.
As a member of our community you have been granted 30 votes to apply to elect people as a witness and help them achieve higher rankings and responsibility in the network. I here ask you to vote for me to ensure
