Technical and Economical
- monitored my witness node, which is running 0.19.0 and adjusted after a small hickup when HardFork 19 hit, now working ok
- adjusted my price feed bias, at 65% from 80% - seeing that more witnesses are adjusting their bias so the SBD peg will hold again (for more information - a bit technical, but useful - have a look at this post)
- kept my SBD APR at 0% - SBD is still trading way higher than expected, currently at $1.65
- increased the block size from 65,536 to 131,072, the number of transaction is rapidly increasing and a small block size may lead to losing transactions
- kept the account registration fee at $3 (I use a script called steem witness toolbox, available for free on Github, for publishing the feed price and adjusting a few blockchain props)
Community
- made a proposal for the Steemit -platform about variable power down amounts, have a look here, and please go to Github issue (link in the post) and let the devs know if this is important for you
- monitored my previous proposals for the Steemit platform: replacing the word "upvote" with "upsteem" (read the rationale here), and introducing smaller denominations to the Steem currency, up to the eighth digit (read the results of the poll here).
- updated Steem.Supply to include account information and did a consistent UI overhaul, read the changelog here
- worked more on the Steem.City project, but since I'm traveling this week, development will be slower
- started a 30 days writing challenge, in which I'm upsteeming each day, full power ($4.8-$5/vote) 3 blog posts, read the introductory post here (yes, you can still join as long as you tag your posts with #challenge30days)

Up- and resteemed. Thank you for the good work you are doing. Also by taking part in the challenge I see how can I improve myself, very good project. I think that everyone who is using steem.supply obsesively as I do shall put you as a witness.
He he, thank you and glad you're seeing benefits from the challenge. It will get a bit rough at some point, but just keep writing, the benefits at the end will be well worth the struggle!
