Unfortunate News Regarding My Witness...

in #witness-category • 8 years ago (edited)

Hey guys, unfortunately, I am leaning on making the decision to shut down my witness for the time being. As much as I'd like to keep my witness up, being fifteen and unemployed in the real world, I am having a tough time financially. I also have not moved up from the 58th spot in over a couple weeks. The 'FINAL DECISION' will be made in a couple days or so, so if I were to move up a couple spots, I would keep my witness running. But, I most certainly will not be powering down! I still believe in Steem/Steemit very much which will affect my choice to not power down!

Proof of Donations

1.

Converted the STEEM to SBD because @busy.org prefers SBD donations.

POTENTIALLY, The Final Witness Update

Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who votes for me and especially @berniesanders who has been supporting my witness every since my journey began! I hope this is not my last witness update, but, only time will tell.

How to Vote For My Witness

1. Click Here

2. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and type in my Steemit username - theprophet0

3. You will be asked to authenticate with your active key, the main key works too. Once you have done that, you just voted for theprophet0 witness!

Another reason I loved running my witness was because I donated all of my funds to charities and The Garden of Eden was one of my favorite charities. It's amazing how my witness blogs crowdfunded to feed and shelter the homeless! Just amazing... I insist you check out this video below! P.S. I'd like to give a big shout out to @jamesc for donating to The Garden of Eden with me!

      I have been voting for your witness since you announced, and I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. Especially since I think you've been doing great work by sharing the rewards from your witness posts with charity. But, if sharing all the rewards with charity prevents you from being able to maintain a solvent witness, I don't think it's necessary to continue to do so. I'd scale back some of those efforts somewhat, and use more of your rewards to pay for your witness server. After all, if you can't continue to run your witness and those posts discontinue, those charities you have been supporting will stop benefiting from your witness activities entirely. Take a break from donating everything until your witness project is stable and then resume the charity work in a more sustainable way.

      That's it.

      I have decided to do a post to ask people on here to support you, I cannot sit by while a nice kid like you and one of the great people of Steemit needs support.

      I have struggled on here too and with my issues and injuries in life but you are making a difference Nolan, and at 15 years old.

      We need to support you. My post will be up in a bit.

      If everyone wants to Resteem and Upvote it --- and keep it in the newsfeeds and the hot/trending, we can likely get Nolan here @theprophet0 -- the support he needs and has been open with us about.

          Thanks. I just think that @theprophet0 needs support so he can stay active on Steemit and keep going. Ambition and compassion for others, like his at 15 years old, needs to be encouraged. It was what I could do.

          Wish you well in taking a break or finding support in the community for your witness to carry on. Looks like we're leaning more towards keeping your witness going already.
