Witness Node Online Once Again! Wo0otsteemCreated with Sketch.

in witness-category •  7 years ago 

Phew! After eons of syncing with the Steem blockchain, my witness node had finally fully updated! Then I had to keep the node disabled as I updated to Steem release v0.19.1. But everything is synced up now and online. :) Sorry for being out of commission for a very long time.


Witness Node Changes


Feed: 1.210
APR: 0.0%
Registration: 0.2
Block Size: 65,536
Missed blocks: 32

SBD APR interest still at 0%.

Registration changed from 0.1 to 0.2.

I had changed the block size to 131,072 for the bandwidth issues for new users, but since Steem release v0.19.1 this should be fixed, so my block size is back to 65,536.


Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. :)

Are you sure your witness is up and running properly? Because it's not 🤔

It was up, but it started missing a bunch of blocks.

Encountered block num collision at block 14091081 due to a fork

I don't know if that means I have bad blocks, but since I miss more blocs than I can witness, I'm redoing the blocks again :\

You're missing many blocks (not good) because you didn't broadcast your public key properly. Come to https://steemit.chat/channel/witness for more assistance.

LOL, thanks for trying to help, but no. That key is used to disable a witness, so that you DON'T miss any blocks ;) Then when your node is back in order, you activate it to process blocks as a witness with your real active key, not the dummy to deactivate it.

Yes I know what that key does, I thought you didn't know your ways around running a witness. Many factors can cause blocks to miss, latency/routing problems, NTP synchronization, other processes running on the server, misconfigured keys in the config. It could be many things 🤔

Alrighty, thanks for the help, appreciated :)

Pheewww !!
That's a good Update.

Great to have you back @krnel . I know it sucks to miss blocks. Especially after all the work we put into being a witness, and you do alot. You got my vote sir!

I happened to notice that a couple of your votes are on Dead witness's, I was hoping you may be willing to change those to active witnesses. I for one would greatly appreciate a vote from you.

Thnaks for everything you do for Steemit buddy!
