RE: Taking STEEM and my Witness Role Serious
The top 50 would allow us pay for our servers
How many servers do your witness have? How much they cost?
Your witness got ~260 STEEM in producer rewards in last 30 days. Even expensive server don't cost that much. Do you have backup or seed node too?

The top 50 would allow us pay for our servers and have some growth. You cut my sentence in half? We want to grow the account to so we can support communities.
Right now we don't use witness rewards to pay for the server so we can grow and support, therefore we are fully investing this fee personally. We pay US$112 for our server each month. Now that we will be adding a back up, thats going to cost us more. so if we want to grow, and cover the cost we need to make it to the top 50. We could just cover the cost and not support communities, but thats not what we are about. lol in a perfect world, I would like to not power down for at least 5 years and I am willing to try invest the time and money to do so. Its our choice to do it this way and I just hope that the steem community can see that we are really investing here in the communities and in steem. We don't self vote, and we dont delegate for a 'fee' or 'profit'
The 260 we earned in the last 30 days is amazing, its increased a lot this last month. We also had a good week the week of the HF as so many servers were upgrading at one time, we got a nice little boost. We had been floating around 72 place till recently. so please do keep in mind, we have not always earned 260 steem and for many months the witness rewards would not have covered the cost we are currently paying.
I am hoping that the new skills and other changes we make will help our growth an achieve our goal of reaching top 50. here's hoping :-)
