RE: Witness Update: 15 Hours In Front of a Computer in Puerto Rico
Woah, I thought I had it bad, but that is really bad timing for you.
Nevertheless, I really appreciate the inside information on what exactly happened, since the information-flow wasn't that good. I understand of course that 50 people in a chat-room are already enough, but I would still have appreciated it if someone from Steemit Inc. or somebody else could have given some updates, besides: "stay calm, downgrade to 0.19.x and don't talk in this chat-room"
With that said: I hope you can use today to relax a bit from yesterday's stress.
Perhaps there should be an info page for witnesses behind a steemconnect login so someone from stinc can inform and keep others updated with pertinent information.
The top witnesses defining consensus stayed in constant communication throughout this issue.
Yes i know. I meant for the rest.
i think there was communication through SteemNetwork account on Twitter.
I thought it might just be a good idea to be able to keep non-critical witnesses up to date just in case. from my understanding, @abit played a large role in it but at the time wasn't in the top 20. It could also help the other witnesses feel not left out completely as they are still somewhat in the loop. It only really requires basic information which then would likely be spread throughout the community via chats and reduce the amount of FUD.
Flying with three kids isn’t usually that relaxing, but the first leg of the trip was great and my noise canceling headphones work great. :)
Yeah, this one was stressful. On other issues I’ve spent time connecting with other communities to inform people in real time, but this time I was deeply focused on the conversations taking place and had one of the few nodes still untouched and running v19. Unfortunately my node (like many others) trigger a replay when I tried to launch it. Also, being in an Airbnb on an island with less fha ideal internet had me a little out of my element.
Communication is important Abduzhapparov I did tweet about things as soon as it was happening. It’s hard to give details until we know what’s actually going on. Otherwise we get too much speculation and knee-jerk reactions which can cause other problems.
Better than being on the plane ride back, I suppose.
Indeed. :)
Thanks for dealing with the issue professionally. Bugs happen, especially with something as dynamic, interactive, and new as a live blockchain running social media platforms.
I think the whole event, while unfortunate, is demonstrative of the strong community infrastructure behind what is largely a cutting edge technology.
