RE: TimCliff Witness Update 2017-09-10
Thank you for the update Timcliff. If you need a hand in the help chat let me know. Also, I have two questions about the information you posted. The first is about the registration fee. Is that a fee each new user pays to open an account?
Also, why do you decline payout from your witness post?
If you want to help out in #help, feel free to join. There is myself and a few other volunteers who help out answering questions. The more the merrier :)
The registration fee is how much it costs to create a new account. Most users (who sign up via Steemit.com) don't pay this fee, since Steemit, Inc. pays it for all new accounts created through their website.
I decline payout because I am already paid quite well by the blockchain for being a witness. I see this as part of my witness duties, and I don't want to "double dip" and get paid for my work as a witness and for my post.
