Support me by casting a vote for my witness via SteemConnect
After last incident with HF20, the majority of witnesses have reverted to HF19. Few days later, Steemit Inc has released another version of HF20 (v0.20.1) followed by v0.20.2 with some fixes. We have already reached super majority of witnesses vote for HF20 during the weekend, this means HF20 will happen on scheduled date of September 25th 2018 at 11:00:00 (EDT). Currently, 18 of the 20 top witnesses are running HF20 along with 59 backup witnesses.
Over the weekend, I've turned on a secondary server on which I started installing v0.20.1, while it was still replaying the blockchain (loading and processing the blockchain from a file on disk into memory for faster operations), v0.20.2 came out. Luckily, the update from v0.20.1 to v0.20.2 does not require another replay, which takes several hours.
I'm now ready for the switch to HF20! My witness node has signed several blocks under v0.20.2 without missing any blocks so far, so it is all good now.
My witness info
My current global rank is #110 and my active rank (not counting disabled witnesses) is #91. I'm just 10 ranks away from appearing on the official witnesses page.
I'm running a witness node and a seed node, each of them on a baremetal server with 32 GB of RAM and 250 GB SSD . The, blockchain is growing at high speed and in few months I will have to change hosting provider in order to acquire a server with more RAM and more disk space. If my ranking does not improve by then, I will have to stop providing the seed node and only keep the witness one as the costs will dramatically increase.

| Dtube Community Support | This project by @evildido allows users to run their own IPFS node and pin videos in order to cache them for longer. Dtube has the tendency of deleting non-popular video after few days only. I helped Dockerizing the project for an easier deployment on almost any platform. I've also contributed by running two nodes, one in Australia and one in Canada to cache #teamaustralia and #teamnz videos. | Dockerizing Dtube Community Support |
| DiscoSteem Bot | This is a Discord/Steem bot project by @planetenamek. When I started Steemulant Bot for the Vietnamese community, I didn't know the existence of DiscoSteem Bot and wanted something written in NodeJS. I've ended up continuing my own project as it contains code and logic for personal use and for the Vietnamese community. But I've decided to share some useful features that can benefit the users of DiscoSteem Bot and will continue to add more functionalities as I go. | Dockerizing DiscoSteem Bot |
