My witness name is "steemgigs".

Many have a bit of confusion when attempting to vote for my witness and tend to put in "surpassinggoogle" in the witness box.

I knew this was likely to happen from the very beginning. Yes, @surpassinggoogle is the more popular of both accounts but i wanted my witness (steemgigs) to represent things bigger than me; "us!"

community; "the world"

I want it to sit up there and represent incessant inspiration, especially for nations that the world calls "developing".

SteemGigs: "Everyone has something to offer" seats out there as witness, for the bigger picture: "to mine the human, until we attain our awesomest version, to where there is nothing like "developing or developed"

We are all flawed; so, flaws allowed!
Eradicate bum, average, smart and we are suddenly all genius.
If Bill Gates made Microsoft, we make Macrohard.

It is that simple. It has always been!

"steemgigs witness Is Now On A Better Server"

Lately, the "steemgigs" witness started to miss some blocks because the 32GB RAM server upon which it sat grew insufficient.

The requirements for a witness server is increasing drastically, which can be seen as an indication of steem growth.

But no worries as it has now been migrated to a 64GB RAM server, fully synced and is back up & running.

It has also started using more automation in the form of a script written by @furion called "conductor", that automatically disables it, incase it starts to miss blocks.

Overall, there is keen monitoring, so that blocks aren't missed.

You can still support my witness by clicking HERE and typing the word "steemgigs" into the first box for witnesses.

If you would like me to chose steemit witnesses on your behalf, simply type in the word "surpassinggoogle" into the second box HERE

I am re-driven

I am glad the https://steemgigs.org began. In the midst of these tough times, it is a very special sign.

Since it started, it has began to create beauty. Perhaps, a new breed of beauty. We now have an additional incentive to shine, by revealing these other powerful sides to us; "what we can offer".

Knowledge of this sole knowledge (what we can offer) is powerful, especially when the minds involved strive to be reputable; "steemians".

See some of the beauty, that https://steemgigs.org has already stirred:

#STEEMGIGS: I will create original graphic illustrations, artworks, and more! -- by @craigahamilton

How Do You Already Build Your Dream Now, Using SteemGigs?

Simply get on https://steemgigs.org and scour the website.
Search our database for SteemGiggers who can help you build your dream.
Then, contact them and let them help!
If you can't find someone yet who can help, do a custom request (See sample custom request here)

We have a working search engine and an internal database. It is not all refined yet but it already works.

Currently, it provides results for general keywords as well as usernames. So, if all you have ever dreamt of, is to have your own chatbot, simple do a simple search, using words like "bots", "chatbots", "automation" etc and you will be provided with a list of SteemGiggers who can help!

Our website is not filled yet, hence, results may be scanty but imagine when every steemian begins to offer a service on SteemGigs

Don't be shocked to find free services too!

Reputable steemian talents are not the same as talents out there.

There is community aspect to what we do, thus, some SteemGiggers are simply looking to be steemians in deed.

Too, some steemGiggers may want to help to improve their general reputation or to build further connections or relationships

e.g look at this SteemGigs Testimonial by @long888 and what it resulted into:

@long888 had a good experience in a gig or service provided by @panoramicview and wrote a nice testimonial about it. Now, i found it too and visited @panoramicview and became confident about using his service and recommending him to many others.

Then, i went further by mentioning both parties and recommending them as reputable steemians in this post.

This is how further connections and relationships are buildable by means of SteemGigs

Down the road, we will look to incentivize "proof of deed" as much as we are able to, till we can help each one build their dreams. Thus, when we have the moderation capability and perhaps, more steem power support, we will passionately incentivize SteemGiggers to assist with their services and clients (steemians) who dare to dream.

Do the "dreaming"; leave the "building" to us!
