Do you know what's even worse than your witness server crashing 2 days in a row?
Yep. It crashing 3 days in a row.
Got woken up at 6:30 am on Sunday by my lovely ding-notification that I lost a block .
While the lost-block is unfortunate, the real tragedy is the fact that the server crashed again - even though I made sure to set it up properly.
The server is still not reachable, so I have no way of analysing the whole situation. My backup server is also not yet ready from the provider, so at this point I will re-activate my witness as soon as soon as I got the go from my provider to setup my backup-server - which should be in around 1-2 days.
Luckily, Steem has enough backup-witnesses to cover my deactivated witness so that should be any problem - but for me personally, the whole situation is quite frustrating - but I'm trying to keep it positive!
Its really pathetic but as you have said "remain positive"
Your post really is very good. We have a lot to learn from this
Wtf!!
I'm still not clear about the ins and outs of witnessing but I voted for you and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I'm sure you will get it sorted out so I'm sending you some good energy and vibes.
Ouch! Sorry to hear that!
Keep calm and stay positive!
Bummer, luckly your back up server will be active shortly and this will hapen almost never.
Which is a good thing, crashes can frustrate good enough you have provision of working on it in peace.
Thats’s awfull, i know how frustrating that can be as i work at a company which offers dedicated servers to their customers. The #1 priority is to keep them online and in a worst case scenario we gotta make sure there is a back up server. In your case, i think the provider has failed you and you can’t do much about it. Hope it all works out buddy, good luck.
sounds like a trendy thing and responsibility to be a blockchain witness. Hope you get it sorted, so then you can keep on proudly mentioning it to everyone you know! keep up the great work and for smartsteem :)
