SteemFest² Sponsorship - Giving Back

Woo it’s been a wild ride, eh?

The good times come, the good times go, and then the good times come back again. Through it all there have been a lot of people in the community that have stuck by the project to continue to make it what it is today. As a Steem witness I feel especially thankful for all the unsung and under-sung heroes that stuck it out through the thin times.

As some of you may know my primary contribution to the platform is steemit.chat. What some of you may not know is who actually does all the work.

Hive account@firepower has been a relentless supporter, organizer, and advocate of the steemit.chat platform almost since its inception. To this day he spends a lot of time and energy behind the scenes working with the powers that be to make it even better.

Hive account@steemitqa, Hive account@pfunk, Hive account@acidyo, and others work tirelessly to keep things civil on a daily basis. Honestly, I have no idea how they keep it together but I am very grateful that they do.

Hive account@gandalf continues to be a great help behind the scenes on the back end. As one of the few other people with box access he has earned my trust and respect as a much better sysadmin than I’ll ever be.

It can be difficult to find the best way to reward all the people that have helped make Steem what it is today. To that end I have pledged my support of SteemFest² with a sponsorship of 10,000 Euros or about one month of witness pay.

Thank you all for a great ride - we’re just getting started!

Steem on,

Riverhead
