Happy New Year to everyone! Do you support Steemit Open Mic? Then this post is for you.
The past 65 weeks of Open Mic is a joy to be part of and we owe a lot to the musicians, the judges, the supporters, and to @pfunk.
@pfunk has been sponsoring Open Mic since it started with 320 Steem each week and now he needs our help!
If you didn't know already @pfunk is a witness for the Steem blockchain. He has just slipped from the top 20 witnesses to number 21.
The top 20 witnesses earn more Steem and because he has moved to number 21 he may have to reduce the rewards for the Steemit Open Mic contest.
We can help him climb back up to the top 20 list by voting for him as a witness. It's easy and I'll show you how.
If you want to keep Open Mic going strong then vote for @pfunk as witness right now
Each Steemit account can vote for a total of 30 witnesses at any given time. So even if you vote for and support other witnesses on Steemit you can still vote for @pfunk.

So, if you support Open Mic and want to see it grow, please vote for @pfunk as a witness and let's keep him in the top 20 rankings.
Besides supporting Open Mic @pfunk strives to maintain a solid witness node and have multiple reserves so that the Steem network does not experience any hiccups.
He keeps up with steemit.chat as an administrator, helping users, hunting down scammers, and communicating with moderators to promote a non-toxic culture in Steem and works with Steemcleaners and in efforts to minimize abuse on Steem.
He also matched @ausbitbank's Steem Power delegation to the @openmic
More about Witnesses
The STEEM blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and keep the site running and keep track of transactions. Anyone who is willing to contribute to the Blockchain may become a Witness however they must be elected through votes made by the Steemit Community.
To essentially become a Steemit Witness an individual needs to be approved and voted by the Community, thus that person needs to have a good-t= rack record and must be liked or respected by others in order to be upvoted as a witness in the first place.
These Blockchain Witnesses are expected to keep a node running every second of every day. Most of Steem Witnesses actively engage in the Steemit Community, a reason why many users have upvoted them.
Go upvote @pfunk as witness right now

Thank you so much for your support @luzcypher. You've brought a lot of people here to Steem to share their music and more and enriched them, not just with your upvotes and donations to Open Mic prizes but also with your own music, your own writing, and your own soul.
I'll repeat what I said in @passion-ground's post:
I wouldn't stop sponsoring Open Mic if I were to fall out of the top 20 witnesses for an extended period of time but my contribution to the prize pool would fall. I've matched @ausbitbank's delegation of SP to the @openmic account so that the people participating it can earn a bit more, even if I can't put as much into the prize pool.
And don't forget I'm not the only sponsor either! @luzcypher has donated a ton of STEEM to the prize pool over the last 66 weeks and there are some heavy SP delegations to @openmic from some awesome community members: @fulltimegeek (15000+!!), @ausbitbank (5000+!), @luzcypher (1000+!) not to mention very generous delegations from @steevc, @buzzbeergeek, @meno (judge for Songwriter's Challenge), @bearone, @krystle (who also donates her time as a judge for Open Mic and Songwriter's Challenge), @nateb, @eliel, and @katamori.
Your support really helps make Open Mic successful and the thriving community that it is. All the effort you put into the Steemit community to keep it running smoothly is invaluable to us all @pfunk. I think witnesses are taken for granted by the average user but I want you to know I really appreciate all the work you and many other witnesses do for us all.
@pfunk your support has made @openmic what it is today and this proves not only your benevolent contributions to the betterment of this community but also your insight/foresight into what makes this platform/community a better place.
I have had you as a witness vote for a very long time and have promoted @pfunk as a prime candidate for witness in atlas 20 posts if not more very few if any of which were actually up voted by @pfunk which proves even more so how much I truly believe it and am not a bought out promoter.
I know what helps Steem and support it every day~*~
Thank you much man!
Thank you!
Your a behind the scenes guy (at least with this account) but I have witnessed your contributions and intelligence for a long time. Great to see that many others also recognize it and your in the top 20!
Steemit just keeps getting better and better thanks to people like you!
SteemON!
And you are back into #20. Resteemed too maybe we can push you a bit further down the list
Thank you, and thank you for your witness approval vote
Amazing! more good news for steemit open mic... Thanks!!! XD
Great news! I give you guys all my support!
Voted! and resteem! @pfunk
Done ;)
Well, he has my vote along with many others you seem to not like. I like everyone you named and they are all doing good things for the platform.
I voted for @pfunk for witness a LONG time ago and have actually made at least 20 posts promoting him as a witness if not more.
SO yea. DO IT!
@pfunk for president! XD
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Yeah @pfunk is already on my witness list sir.. I’m so happy being with this community specially the steemit open mic. To sir @passion-ground thanks a lot sir for your ever supportive and encouraging words..
LOVE & PEACE
Upvoted
Perfectly outlined @luzcypher I'm sure people are going to rally behind this faster than we can say Tuesday.
Thanks for making a post too @meno.
I vote for @pfunk as a witness, because he and some other witnesses I vote for contribute so much to the Steemit community and the blockchain itself. Some people do not realize how much time these witnesses sacrifice to make Steemit a success. You have my support ! Upvoted and Resteemed with pleasure :)
Like Steem itself, witnesses are undervalued. They do a lot of work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly on the platform.
They do not get enough credit and it's sad but I think a lot of people don't realize this. I truly take my hat off for all of you who work behind the scenes.
@pfunk has my vote...i've really enjoyed watching all of the talent since coming to #steemit I was literally just asking if it was cool to do a top 5 blog, curious to know what tag would be appropriate?
You mean a top 5 for the open mic contest? Sure you can do that.
Just put the words UNOFFICIAL TOP 5 Picks for Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number) in the beginning of the title. This way I can see it and upvote it and people will know it's not an official judge pick. For a post like that you can use the openmic tag as the first tag.
Right on sounds good, didn't know how to do it without getting in the way of the actual contest. Thanks for bringingv together so many awesome musicians!!!! It truly is amazing the talent I have come across so far!
Voted and resteemed. I love everything y'all have created through the open mic.
Thanks for the support. I'm sure loving your music man.
I already did:) Thank you guys for doing such an amazing job
Thanks for showing your support.
Of course. You guys are doing awesome work 👍
