Witness Update Log #8: Some witness drama going around...

This is my 8th weekly witness update log since I made my initial witness announcement post.

Project updates

As mentioned in my previous update log, I have announced my @onelovedtube IPFS uploader v0.9.2 update yesterday. For those who have not seen it already, the post can be found here.

Witness news

Highlight of the week: Witness vote blackmail?

Source

If you have voted for @themarkymark for Steem witness, you have probably received a malicious memo in your Steem wallets that looks something like this:

Seems that there was a history of drama on the Steem blockchain involving the same witness, with this being the most ridiculous one as this is basically an attempt to threaten those who have voted for him.

Just to let everyone know that I will remain neutral on this to stay out of the drama. Therefore, I will not cast my witness vote on him (I never voted for him throughout the history of this account) and will leave spare votes for potential new deserving witnesses.
