It's been more than a month and a half since I've posted that the rabbits had "overtaken the miner-witness queue for far too long." It got to the point where mining a block would never happen, essentially causing me to shutdown my miner.
However, yesterday we have learned that there was a fix for a long-time bug, where miners were not fully utilizing resources correctly. @picokernel says more in his post We may have just fixed a critical bug in Steem.
After applying the fix and recompiling steemd, I had left my tower running overnight. It's still really competitive with the rabbits and supercomputing accounts, but I see that I have gotten a pow so far!

What about you? Will you start mining STEEM again? Did you give up recently as well?
