Today was a day for witnesses to react. We reacted, like most, and got the new code running asap.
intelliwitness doesn't run docker binary images -- we actually compile the source code from scratch. This gave us an advantage today, to implement the necessary patches to get up and running with the rest of the witnesses on schedule.
Unfortunately intelliwitness is still #117 on the the list, with active rank 76.
We've only got 26 spots to go..... before we're in top 50 and can't stop running our witness nodes at a financial loss. :(
6 months ago, we started our witness node, and have completed our upgrades to our steemd node each time. In that time, we've missed less than 15 blocks, which is quite reasonable...
If you have any of your 30 free votes remaining, please consider adding intelliwitness to your list of witnesses you would like to see continue keeping this blockchain running well.
intelliwitness is managed by intelliguy -- and after today's event, we did an early writeup that helped explain what happened today when the blockchain got stuck.
See the steem outage post here.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the few extra seconds to give us a vote. We do appreciate it.
It was good that we were to get back up.
