🌞🌞Great post. Is this similar to a witness nod?e and if not can you point me in the right direction for a simple way to start a witness node. It's something I might be interested in, in the future thanks

Here is the one I use. It is a tiny bit out of date, but it would take you most of the way there. @someguy123 also has a good guide. The users in the #witness channel of steemit.chat can provide additional guidance if you need any help. https://steemit.com/witness-category/@bitcalm/how-to-become-a-witness
Thank you @timcliff for the information. If I wanted to become a witness and had everything set up are there any special keys I would have to put into my node? Most likely right because then anyone could set up a witness node? I understand the voting part of it! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Have a great night.
The guide I linked explains it, but you will generate one new public/private key pair called your signing key. You configure the private one in your steemd configure file, and the public one is used when you declare your witnesses to the blockchain using update_witness.
Yes, I read it and thank you for explain it in more detail for me. Very much appreciated have a great night. Thank you
