Drawing myself with a dunce cap this week because the STEEM block gods finally managed to crash my steemd client causing my witness node to miss 4 blocks! Backup servers were in place but were functioning as seed-nodes... So more servers are being put in place over the next week to make sure that never happens again. It's been an exciting week for me as a STEEM witness! Not only have I managed to stay on the top 50 list (hovering #41 at the moment) but I also announced the start of the streemit.online project! This will be BIG.

The streemit.online project is what I will be pushing forwards as my witness bringing to the STEEM network. If you're capable and not already working on a project utilizing STEEM I highly recommend start thinking on it.. This is just the start of the network and their are PLENTY of highly in demand services we've yet to see built and brought to market so far. Heck, even if you aren't currently capable the very fact you're reading this on the internet lets me know you've access to the tools and info you need. Only thing stopping you is you. :)
The need for a place for STEEM users to stream their world for SBD tips was made apparent to me after watching countless people raise red flags towards the censorship currently sweeping other popular video hosting sites. A site for STEEM exclusivley is being built by myself with financial supports for servers and development coming from the community and a number of very kind individuals that have donated towards the cause.
The goal was to have the site up and running before the end of the weekend and I'll try my damnedest to stick to this target but the further I start developing the site the more apparent it becomes that I may have been slightly (or incredibly) optimistic in that projection. Originally I'd just intended to host video streaming but after listening to community feedback I've decided to also try and implement video and picture uploading, recording and sharing on the site.
Things that start out easy never end up that way... But in this case it's far better to not rush the official launch until proper time has been taken to implement and fully test the site and it's many moving parts. When you're dealing with video streaming and crypto currency deposits and withdrawals there is no room for error!
That being said if anyone is willing to lend a hand in helping me develop the site for the community it'd be greatly appreciated. A working background and displayed skills in Javascript, HTML5, PHP, MySQL, Flash is an asset of course!

Thanks to All of Those Who Have Donated Towards Streemit.Online Development!
Any user donating over $5 SBD (or 5 SBD worth of STEEM) towards development of the site will get the corresponding amount of monthly VIP subscription credited to their account once they go to http://streemit.online and create an account of the same name on streemit and validate the account with me here on STEEM.
All SBD / STEEM donated will go towards covering server costs and licensing fees. <3
