You're missing many blocks (not good) because you didn't broadcast your public key properly. Come to https://steemit.chat/channel/witness for more assistance.

LOL, thanks for trying to help, but no. That key is used to disable a witness, so that you DON'T miss any blocks ;) Then when your node is back in order, you activate it to process blocks as a witness with your real active key, not the dummy to deactivate it.

Yes I know what that key does, I thought you didn't know your ways around running a witness. Many factors can cause blocks to miss, latency/routing problems, NTP synchronization, other processes running on the server, misconfigured keys in the config. It could be many things 🤔

Alrighty, thanks for the help, appreciated :)
