Witness Update - My Node Is Running Steemd 0.20.1, Officially Supporting HF20

in witness-category •  6 years ago 

After 3 days of painful replaying and resynching of the blockchain, of patching, configuring and installing various versions of the steemd node, I'm finally able to announce that both my servers have been updated and I'm running the steemd version 0.20.1. I didn't produce any block yet, and according to the scheduler this should happen in about 40 minutes, so on any blockchain explorer I'm still showing 0.19.6, which is the version of the software that I had when I produced my last block.

This update means:

  • I'm fully supporting HardFork 20 (not that it matters too much, because in order for the HF to be activated, only the first 21 witnesses are counting, but I am still sending a message of support from my current position, which is 62)
  • if a super majority of the first 21 witnesses will run the same version by September 25th, the HF will actually be enforced

The last 3 days have been really hectic and I'm really looking forward to more stable times.

Steem on!

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!

You could do a post on why you think it is better than 19. From what I have heard I like 19 better.

Here's to more stable times. Cheers!

You will be in the top for sure the community need hard working people like you :)

Great work...Kudos to you.
Have you heard the news of Dlive abandoning steem blockchain???

Yes, I read that. Each with his own. Steem is not a blockchain for ALL social media use cases.

Steem On!

Resteemed with great respect and love.

Hey @dragosroua.

I'm glad to hear you're back up and running. Looking forward to smoother sailing and many of the changes. We need to get you moved back up the ranks, too. :)

Do you happen to know just what supermajority amount the system uses regarding witness adoption? Two-thirds? Three-quarters? Higher? I know it needs to be a supermajority but I've never seen what the minimum requirement would be.

that's pretty cool to know. more time , more stable

Fingers crossed we don't experience any more problems. Can't wait for the hardfork

Your efforts are appreciated. I hope to see Steem take this leap forward next week. It's been a long road to hf20

i know ot requires a lots of hard work for a senior and a witness person here on steemit May God bless You and help this community grow more bigger ..

I don't have much understanding about this hardfork thing but I wish you all the best with whatever you're doing.

I am also supporting Hf12. Hopefully it will bring positive change to our platform.

It's HF 20, but I get what you mean :)

haha yeah, sorry for the mistake. yeah it's HF 20.

So your server is not signing blocks right now?
I hope it will get into real service soon. :)

Zilele trecute am disparut de pe radarul platformei supplysteem ... credeam ca s-a intamplat ceva grav, dupa care mi-am adus aminte de hardfork20 si am intuit ca poate sunt facute setari deja. Merci pentru informatiile oferie prin intermediul acestui blog. Numai bine @dragosroua
