Hi @timcliff! I'd like to become a witness. I read a suggestion to setup/create another one steemit account for using steemd. Would you suggest the same? If so, I cannot understand how to connect my current account with an empty new created just for steemd. People should vote for me @allfabeta to be a witness but not for a newly created for steemd account. Could you clarify those, please

The reason to have two accounts is for security reasons. If you accidentally leaked your key for your 'personal' account, your witness account would not be compromised; if someone was able to hack into your witness server and steal the key to your witness account, your personal account would not be compromised. Personally, I just use the same for both. Like you said, it is easier for people to know which account to vote for if there is only one account. You could look at @lukestokes as an example of a witness who splits accounts though to see how he does it, if that is the way you want to do it.
