Please take a look at quickstart guide and frequently asked questions.

@gtg thank you for these guides which were very helpful for me and motivated me to setup a witness!

Yes thank you for motivating me to edit the post and share this here! Witnesses are among the most powerful users in our community! Witnesses build the blockchain for Steem processing all transactions and creating all new Steem along with deciding on which updates to apply and more. Will you read the full guide I made at https://steemit.com/witness-category/@jerrybanfield/steem-witness-basic-training because it explains what a witness is in more detail and has exact steps to get started as one?

Thank you for explaining @jerrybanfield sure will go through the post.!!
