Tried both. I decided to use restart from scratch, but with the docker image by @someguy123
I hope it syncs fast, I am low on the rank of witnesses but I really want to keep the score of "0 blocks missed" (I have never missed a block ever since Hive was still Steem and I was a witness back then), so hope his docker image just works kinda out of the box.
I had a very stressful on my full time job and a few freelances I have got, so I really do not want to get stressed with it... I was a bit angry at first because it was not working as expected, so I deleted and am using his docker image now.
Hope it syncs fast and I don't miss anything.
But hey! Thank you for all the information you shared with me here!
You can disable your witness in the meanwhile to avoid missing blocks, and then re-enable it once you're all caught up! :D
Hi igormuba, I read through the thread with interest. The technical side of Hive is interesting and not something I see many posts about. Thank you for writing out your experience on chain! How did you go in the end, did you get the issues sorted? It's tough juggling full-time work with this and all the other parts of living! I have voted for your witness. How did you start learning about how to run a witness node? Well best regards, take care... all that 👍
I have learned almost everything by reading @someguy123 posts
In the end I decided to sync normally, instead of downloading a blockchain.
