Witnesses post here. Let voters know you exist.

[puppies]

I ran a delegate on the legacy bitshares network from launch day til I shut my delegate down for the launch of 2.0.  I believe I was third in blocks produced with over 99.5% uptime. 

dele-puppy is a current witness on both the bts2.0 and the muse network.  Votes are always appreciated.

I found bitshares in February of 2014.  I am here because I believe that outcompeting the coercive centralized institutions that enslave us should be a cornerstone of the battle to convince spooners "do nothings" that there is a better way.  http://oll.libertyfund.org/quote/331

[wackou]

witness: wackou

I started my career at the university working in C++ and python on music similarity and classification for 8 years. I did not have contact directly with the music business world but I got to learn that it was, as Riverhead eloquently said, in clear need of a reform. I have a few musician friends that play "on the side" and I believe that they could, and should be able to put their music on a blockchain and get some reward for their work, using all the decentralized benefits of a blockchain-based solution that we've come to love.

I have also run a delegate during the entire lifetime of BitShares 0.x, and during that time I developed the bts_tools python package that helps monitor the status of a running delegate/witness and publish feeds. There already is some support for running muse clients, but it is still pending a stable release. It would be nice to be an active witness to be able to test it

In all honesty, though, the reason I want to do this is because I believe that the change that such a project can bring is so sorely needed that I want to do as much as I can to help make it a success.

[Riverhead]

Riverhead would like your votes. Setup and ready to witness .

I've been a Bitshares supporter since day one and even before back in the Protoshares days. What initially brought me to this community was actually a one sided "flame" war on Bitcointalk. Bytemaster was fielding ideas, which eventually became Bitshares, and the community there was about as hostile as a Youtube comment thread. BM took it all in stride and responded to each question in a sane and rational manner rather than fanning the flames. This was someone who believed in what they were saying.

Fast forward a couple years and the project is still aiming to fulfill its primary objective however others have come to recognize the power of this ecosystem. Cob, and by extension MUSE and Peertracks, are leveraging this new technology to address one of the most screwed up businesses next to finance - Music. Since its announcement I have been very excited about the possibility of the Music project and would love to be a part of the solution.

Though I am not a musician I have come across a number in my lifetime and many have similar nightmare stories about the music industry. There was a Canadian band I listened to growing up called, "The Gandharvas". They were a young band out of Kingston, Ontario, Canada and had a hit getting a lot of airplay on Much Music. When I next ran into them at a local pub they said they broke up because they couldn't afford gas for their van to continue touring. Anyone reading this knows where all the money went.

A better way is long overdue and a blockchain secured peer to peer infrastructure just might be it.

This thread is for anyone setting up a Witness or that has already set up a Witness and wants votes.

Let's keep the thread clean.
Only post once.
Ensure all the relevant information is there to allow voters to make a decision whether or not to vote for your Witness.
Introduce yourself! Don't just be a number asking for votes. Who are you? What's your story? Are you a witness on bts too? What makes you tick? Why MUSE? Why crypto?

Feel free to make your one post as long as you think is required.
