# witness info
This is my first witness update, I'm currently #172 on the list of witnesses, which means I'm a backup of backups ;-) because of my position I do not generate any blocks, but as witness I feel obligated to support Steemit infrastructure starting from the backbone and what I can do is to add new seed node to the Steemit network:
seed.jamzed.pl:2001
Seed node is a server that works in p2p technology and has an up-to-date copy of Steemit's blockchain, its main purpose is to share raw blockchain data with all those who need it so the network can be fast, secure and reliable.
# seed node details
Hostname: seed.jamzed.pl:2001
Dedicated server in France, 8 cores, 32GB RAM, 250 GB SSD (a lot of room for blockchain), 800 Mbit/s
# my project: geo.steem.pl
If you want to know what are the active Steemit API servers and which ones are closest to you, I invite you to take a look on my small project geo.steem.pl, more information in my previous posts:
