Understanding the STEEM blockchain. Helping to run a legitimate witness. @intelliwitness

If you know @intelliguy ... I dig deep into things. I'm serious about what we're all dealing with..

Let's do this introduction @intelliguy style... which means, I ask the questions on your mind, and also answer them.

Q: What is intelliwitness ?

A: It is a steem witness that has @intelliguy involvement and is a project I approve of...

---

Q: Why?

A: @intelliguy believes in steem.. He believes in every day functionality of what the steem blockchain is suppose to do, and will do.... He believes in the long term goal of why this platform is already successful.

---

What is it you are asking us to do?

A: It is easily actually. Every single steem user has 30 votes "for witnesses" of the blockchain. I have 30 witness votes and so do you... If you haven't voted for witnesses of this blockchain yet (or if you have), I'm asking you to use one of your 30 votes to upvote intelliwitness as a valid witness

---

I never voted up a witness before. Is it hard?

A: No, but it is important.

If you are logged into your steemit account, with your posting key, do this:

• (1) Go this website url: https://steemit.com/~witnesses

• (2) You will see a simplistic screen which is titled "Witness Voting"

• (3) Where you see this:

You manually have to type in "intelliwitness" and push the VOTE button

(Because we are not in the top 50. Actually writing this, we're #186 at the moment... which is far off...)

If you are successful, a pop up window will open, saying you have to login with your ACTIVE key (a different private key than your posting key, to approve the change)

..If you do that, the intelliwitness will receive your vote.

I only expect 1% of the people reading this post to be able to complete this complex and complicated procedure.

You will know if you did it right, by seeing this:

...and after that, we have to wait about 10 blocks for it to be locked into the blockchain.

You can check if you were successful, by looking at the intelliwitness page a few minutes later on this website:
https://steemd.com/@intelliwitness

It will show this:

Q: Why would I do this? Why would I spend the time and my vote for it?

A: Because if you hold wealth in the steem blockchain, you want witness nodes you can trust

...this witness node, you can trust because I am involved in it, and all you have to do is scroll through my blog history to see if I am reputable.

So more new questions:

• Ok @intelliguy I voted @intelliwitness as a witness ... how does that help me?

• It will help you 3 ways:

• (1.) I am watching who upvotes that witness

• (2.) You are bringing even more legitimacy to the blockchain you are currently invested in..

• (3.) I will see, and remember those who upvoted that witness early on and find a way to reward them

...so based on those 3 things.. each steem user gets 30 votes for witnesses. I encourage you to use 1/30 votes on this witness @intelliwitness to do that...

I have proof what the earnings from @intelliwitness will be shared by the community in many ways... and in coming posts you will see why...

So if you are one of the few what have read this post, and upvoted @intelliwitness early... you'll be seeing a benefit coming your way.

...and I really mean this... not just "because" you upvoted the witness. If you are a non-spammer, real individual that makes good blogs and comments... I'll be paying it forward and bringing it back to you.

Vote for intelliwitness (non top 50) today. Early birds who do it get the greatest benefit.

...and those whales and dolphins out there that have watched what @intelliguy posts, and talks about. You will already know, I wouldn't encourage a new witness node named @intelliwitness unless it was a real deal.

For those key people, who read this post to the end... congrats, and even better.. if you completed to the vote-for-witness procedure successfully... awesome job.... and thank you.
