Big News!

@moonunit and I have launched a full node server to enhance the stability of the Whaleshares Blockchain. So what is a Full Node and why should you care? Great question...

A witness node is set up to just "witness" the blocks that contain all of the transactions that occur on the blockchain. These block happen every 3 seconds and the blocks contain information such as votes, comments, wallet transactions, etc... The difference between a witness and a full node is that the full node contains a full copy of the transaction history of the blockchain.

Witness

Since my witness has been restarted, everything has been running very smoothly. I am running an 8GB Witness Node that should be able to handle any increases to the blockchain for a while.

I am currently witness number 32 on the witness rankings. I have been on the Whaleshares platform since October 2, 2018 and I have no plans on going anywhere. I am dedicated to Whaleshares and I want to make sure that I am doing my part to ensure the success of the platform.

During my time on the platform I have launched two Community Tokens, one of which, HumanityCoin, control the voting on my witness account and is in the hands of the community. I am supporting 3 different humanitarian projects and supporting a group of curators in the MoonBase Discord.
