RE: Returning and Seeking Crypto Currency Avenues
What do you mean by "set up a witness"? I have seen people saying that word, but I clearly do not understand the usage here in this environment.

Good Question. The STEEM blockchain is opensource and run by the witnesses. Anyone can operate a steem blockchain or smoke blockchain witness node. The top witnesses make money for keeping the network afloat. The smoke.io witness is easy to set up with docker. It is a heck of a lot of fun to do if you're into computers.
Here is my post about how I set my smoke.io witness up.
