# Technical and Economical

* continued to subsidize, for the 8th week in a row, as the witness revenue is not matching the hardware expenses (despite the recent surge in STEEM's price)
* kept my both nodes, main and backup, running smoothly, with no missed blocks
* kept the block size at 65,535
* kept the registration fee at 3 STEEM
* kept the SBD interest at 0%

# Community 

I wrote a few posts related to STEEM price (we're in a steep climb lately, something to rejoice in):

* [STEEM Maintaining An Uptrend For The Last Two Days, Breaking Above 9k Satoshis](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/steem-maintaining-an-uptrend-for-the-last-two-days-breaking-above-9k-satoshis)
* [STEEM Crossing Back Above Key Resistance Of 10k Satoshis On Relevant Volume](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/steem-crossing-back-above-key-resistance-of-10k-satoshis-on-relevant-volume)
* [SBD Rewards Are Back, SBD Printing Rated Increased To 33%](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/sbd-rewards-are-back-sbd-printing-rated-increased-to-33)

At the moment, I am on the 60th position, down one position from last week.
