I am not having issues with my account or my resilience and growth in this community. I am generally very pleased with my progress. I have even put out over $15,000 worth of computer equipment in support of the STEEM blockchain with a witness server and a SEED Server, I have also made arrangements to put a 512GB RAM full RPC node for public use in my hosting facility into action by the end of the 1st quarter. All this is at my cost. And don't think for a minute I will get his back in Witness rewards, FAR FROM IT.

How much have you contributed to the infrastructure of the STEEM Blockchain?

As for the votbots... I generally don't use votbots but I wanted to get this post in front of discouraged minnows.

I guess you did not bother to read what I wrote. To bad, you would have seen I was trying to encourage new users that are not having an easy time with it. I WAS NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT MY SITUATION.

As for reward pool rape, I am delegating to @Minnowbooster and to @MSP-Pals Both are designed to assist minnows. Both run by Witnesses, @aggroed runs the MSP bots and @minnowbooster is run by @buildteam if you don't like what they are doing perhaps you should take it up with those witnesses.

I look forward to being notified when you post about your concerns in the witness-category or witness-update category of Steemit and not in just some hidden reply on someones post that is actually trying to encourage new users to not give up. Your concern is noted but not applicable in my opinion to this article or to my account.

just sayin',...
