Dear Bitshares community! Some of you have already voted my witness roelandp, thank you! In this topic I will introduce myself, my witness server portfolio and what I intend to add to the Bitshares community. Who am I?My name is RoelandP from Amsterdam. I am a developer of (mostly)
mobile apps and in the crypto world I have been very active on Steemit by launching several Steem related apps as well as an app overview site called
SteemTools. Since about 2003 I make a living by making sites & apps and some photoshopping / designing for my
parents' pancake restaurant on the side
I have studied Hotelschool in The Hague and made my first homepage in 1996 after which I got hooked on coding and learned it through the internets. Next to coding I love to kitesurf and I am since 1 year a dad of our son, who is slowly learning to sleep during the nights and together with my gf we run a small
Poop Emoji webshop.
After my study I have worked at several festivals and organised some hackathons like Music Hackday Amsterdam.
Last year I organised SteemFest in Amsterdam, which was a blast! I've been running as an active witness for Steem & Golos for a while now and have been supporting the Bitshares network since late September last year with a dedicated server public seednode on seed.roelandp.nl:1776 (listed on
@wackou's
seednode statuspage and
hardcoded in the bitshares sourcecode)

I have been experimenting with the pricefeed software from
@xeroc and together with
@iHashFury I setup the Altcap.XDR which we are both publishing every other half an hour. I am ready to fire the "regular" pricefeed updates.
What value can I add to the Bitshares community?- Thrustworthy witness with reliable infrastructure. I have missed 5 blocks on Steem and 1 on Golos in half a year of active signing.
- Fresh blood!
- Coding experience: PHP, javascript, python, mysql. Helped out @fav with a referral code script and @iHashFury with code reviewing the Altcap.XDR script. I've made available on my Github a Steem Witness Monitoring script and a Golos Pricefeed script
- Creativity, see a sample of my Steem Apps by visiting SteemTools.com and search for 'roelandp'.
- Event experience: As said, I organised SteemFest in Amsterdam last year with the support of many and about 200 attendees, which was a blast! Would love to set something like this up for Bitshares (or a combo) one (not to far in the future) day!
- Promote Bitshares: (don't we all
). Past 6 months I was invited and I have presented Steem on 2 (non crypto) events in presentation slots and panel discussion. For future talks I will incorporate more time for Bitshares when invited. Additionally I am working on a UIA which I reveal soon and think it can trigger some nice promotion for Bitshares!
