thank you sir for doing this!howdy @coinsandchains! thanks so much, to me it is a big deal because these things really add up! I have to go with @smithlabs because the man is always available with comments or to talk to 24 hours a day and is one of the funniest people online and very helpful with advice on practically any situation that you could ever run into.

No, thank you my friend, you're the guy, in like the top 10 on comments on here. If I didn't know better I would think you were an AI robot reading post and replying... lol.
the top ten? are you in Asher's League? I'm way above 10 as far as humans. lol. hey you're a computer guy, what do you think of the bot controversy? you could probably build bots for yourself right?
I actually just found the Curation and Engagement Leagues list and you've been #1 for 5 weeks! That is amazing, with almost 1000 comments in a week.
On the Bots, I see both good and bad. I'm not real fond of the downvote bots, I can see where they could be good but I also see a lot of abuse and just flat out mean stuff going on. I could probably pull off coding a bot, I'm not particularly fond of coding though. Just to be honest, nobody really needs to do much coding many of them are available on GitHub like @yabapmatt's postpromoter bot.
I have actually been toying with the idea of setting up a witness server or two. I've asked a few questions of some of the witnesses who had posted about their setups, one had posted a setup pick or two. I could handle the hardware and management side fairly easily, I bought installed and managed between 1 to 2 million in servers, storage, and networking gear, and the witness setups are just a few thousand dollars. I haven't dug in too deep to check out all the details, like vesting etc. I probably need to read the steemit white or blue papers.
The part that would bug me is the political side, getting the witness votes, I'm not the greatest at playing politics.
I think it's bedtime lol, almost 4 AM and I have at meeting at 8.
howdy today @coinsandchains! wow what a rich comment so full of interesting topics. From what I can tell the job of many of the Witnesses being Witnesses is a full time job so I don't know if you would want to get that involved in it would you?
I mean, you have so many other things going on! If anyone can manage all this, then it's you but I don't know how without sacrificing on some of your other endeavors.
And this statement.."I bought installed and managed between 1 to 2 million in servers, storage, and networking gear" are you saying that you actually spent 1 -2 million DOLLARS in those things? so you are independently wealthy? lol I hope so but that threw me for such a loop when you said that!
not typical for a redneck!
the politics of Steemit, I haven't heard anything about so who knows? I'm glad you're not a politician, I vote for coinsandchains then!
thank you sir for the fantastic comment!
LOL.... Well, unfortunately, the 1-2 million was other people's money that I was spending. I have to admit that it, is the strangest feeling when you are signing Purchase Orders and contracts for a couple hundred thousand dollars. Most of the really large ones the CEO sign or at least sign-off on.
whoa!! @coinsandchains..that's a feeling of some weight there, some power and responsibility right? that's awesome. and that happens alot?
lol, it used to when I worked at the hospital, now other people buy what I spec out, then I help them install it and configure it.
It could get hectic sometimes.
