Hi @ervin-lemark - just to let you know, my witness has been resyncing for a long time following a RAM issue that occurred after the last upgrade of Steem. It will be back online hopefully in about an hour or two. ;)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
That's great to hear. I've seen that you are behind the blockchain.
Hope that it all goes right from now on. Voting you back! Good luck!
Thankyou! :)
There are no manuals for being a witness after the first steps and sometimes things go awry and take time to resolve. That's why the top witnesses pay to have backup servers that they can switch to. I am now just about making enough payouts from the server to pay for a backup too, so I'll do that when I get time in the near future.
You are very welcome. Here is the official confirmation: https://busy.org/@ervin-lemark/auditing-my-witness-votes
By the way, I am stepping in your shoes too. Becoming a witness, that is. Yes, the lack of proper documentation. Eh ...
Keep up the good work!
Excellent! Thanks. My witness is back online now.. just waiting for it's next block.
Maybe I'll see you in the various witness chat rooms soon then and we can share our stories of constantly caring for our blockchain crunching 'babies'.. lol
In case you aren't aware, most witness chat that I know of takes place in steem.chat in the #witness and #witness-social rooms. I'll drop you a vote when you get going.
You are welcome. I am happy to hear that your server is synced and running.
You will see me. I've already inquired for the primary server today :)
Thank you very much in advance for your help and support. Yes, I will join steemit.chat rooms.
