Back when I set up the API node at api.pharesim.me I promised to keep it running for 3 additional months if I should drop out of the top 20 witnesses.

Unfortunately it's hard to stay in those ranks without constant advertising, licking asses and exchanging votes, which is why I watched my name drop down in the list bit by bit over time, until it finally dropped below 20 a couple of days ago. This means the node would shut down end of september.

So here we are, as much as I hate when others do that, this is me asking for your witness votes. I'd like to write a whole post about how it's so much more important to support the lower ranks, but now that I'm down there it might come off as weird, so I'll delay that one for if I should be re-elected.

My unwavered dedication to Hive, my independence from inner circles and of course the projects I run and the support I provide should by themselves be good reasons to drop me a vote. But I'm also interested in feedback if you decide to not give it, and as always happy to answer any questions.

Thank you for your time, and for your support if you decide to give it!
