--Coming into the home stretch of this podcast a day challenge, and there are still a few questions about Hive I wanted to address (whether anyone asked me or not...lol). So for today, I talked a little about Hive Witnesses - what the name means, what they do, and why they're so important. Although I'm now remembering something I forgot to mention - if you're on Hive and you haven't voted for witnesses, or it's been a minute since you checked to see how they're doing (as it's not uncommon for a witness to deactivate their node) be sure to take a peek. I'll leave a link in the show notes.
Also, if you're only seeing this message in my Hive Post, please check back in a bit for my expanded post with show notes. I'm no longer including that text in my Aureal Episode description, as it doesn't format well on the aureal site.

Show Notes for Hive Witnesses
Here are links to the things I mention in my episode -
♦️ I got the definition of what a witness is from concept witness in category bitcoin subsection on the Manning LiveBook site
♦️ I read the definition of what a Hive witness is from the official Hive FAQ under the What are Hive Witnesses section (natch...lol)
♦️ The two additional bits I read are at the top of this excellent post by @erikah called Witnesses And Proposals Explained - Newbie Guide
♦️ Here are some links to check on your witness votes (depending on your preferred Hive dapp) -

♦️ Last but certainly not least, hey @incublus, you only have a couple days left if you want to ask the last question of the month! 😊
That's it for today!
So if you have a question, please drop it as a reply to any of my AMA posts this month (either here on Hive or on my aforementioned WP blog), and thanks in advance for giving me fodder for my chatter!
Happy listening all!
Oh, and here is my post on WordPress my WP blog is unexpectedly down for the moment (I'm in the process of changing hosts), so I'll edit in the link once it's back up.
