What a scare we all had this morning!
The blockchain stood still. No blocks produced at all.
I woke up @bennierex (our dev) at 6 am to inform him something was up.
Not long ago a fix has been released and it's currently being rolled out by the witnesses including @blockbrothers
edit
Witness @blockbrothers is now running v.0.19.5 on all the servers.
Here are the release note including the reason for the halt.
Things should hopefully be back to normal soon!
Lot's of stress on the same day I go on holiday :)
I talk about it more in my short vlog.
I am part of witness @blockbrothers.

Me too. I was almost scared to death, when I checked my steemit account this and nothing seems to be working. But now, knowing it is kind of upgrade going on, there is it cos for alarm nor to be worried. Thanks for this update brother.

I heard the top 20 witness had to a convene to fix the situation, well it's a pretty scare, but the blockchain will definitely live forever, this I'm sure of, glad it's back on

Wow! I did notice that Steemit and steemd wasn't working last night. I think Steemdb was still working though. I figured it was just a Steemit.com issue and another Steemd issue. Thank you for the excellent coverage. I will share this today. Thanks for helping out.

I woke up to it. Funny thing discords felt like a feverish after party with so many people from different time frames awake and gathered up, including funniest improv songs

I didn't noticed the down moment, because I was sleeping until right now. It´s good to see "our" blockchain handle really well with situations like this, it make us feel all much safer.
My only doubt is what happen if some trash people decide to constantly "attacked" the blockchain like it happened yesterday. Will it be stopped for weeks, months? (I don´t understand much about it).

Wishing you a smooth and uneventful journey.

I already wondered, why the chart showed a flat line over many hours at https://coincodex.com/crypto/steem/
I'm confused though - if the blockchain stands still, is the price also frozen?
Can't you trade tokens when the blockchain is stopped?

The price no (on exchanges). But you can't send tokens.

I knew something was wrong when I tried to log in a while ago! Thanks for the update, @exyle.
I do not, in any way, understand the technical side of Steemit, but I highly appreciate the efforts of the ones who do and do their best to fix it and make it better, like you @blockbrothers and the witnesses. So thank you very much! Cheers!

With the constant development and upgrades experienced in the steem blockchains of recent I believe there are going to be more positive surprises in respect to sustaining the blockchain in the long term

Good to see this was resolved swiftly. The steemit site needs to show the team updates as not everyone will look at twitter
