ServaRICA VPS is Scheduled for Network Upgrade

in #wherein6 years ago (edited)

One of my service node is hosted in ServaRICA - and it is supposed to be hard-rebooted and down for 1 hour tomorrow.

We will be doing network upgrade in the server that is hosting your VM with IP X.X.X.X
Your VM will be shutdown and rebooted as a result of this procedure
The maintenance window will be for 2 hours starting from 2nd Sept 2020 8AM EST to 2nd Sept 2020 10AM EST
The VM is expected to be down for approx 1 hour during the window
Note: This work is needed in order to offer you the free 1gbps port upgrade which we plan to roll out within this week to our customers

This isn't good - as the server will be offline - but the good news is that after the network upgrade, there will be a free 1gbps port.

I was duplicating the service to another server - but somehow due to configuration - it didn't work as expected. The bad news is that I thought it worked, apparently the browser cache fooled me. I realised this and promptly switched it back to the origin server when I saw the number of requests have drastically dropped today.

Thanks to the Always Online technology offered by CloudFlare - I probably won't bother the hassle to redirecting the traffic to another server during the network-upgrading window.

Remember, you can find good VPS deals using VPS Database.

Unrelated, but what's the latest going on with STEEM and the defi announcement? We got an announcement about 2 weeks ago how STEEM was going to joining justswap (or something of that nature) and then nothing since. What's going on in your opinion?

Also you being a top witness, what are your plans to help grow the steem ecosystem and it's price going forward? Thanks in advance!

I am aware of the defi but do not know much about it. IMHO if a coin can be pumped quickly and more than a BTC worth - it is too good to be true.
As a top witness, I will continue to develop new tools and maintain the nodes - and you will see more updates in https://steemyy.com

Do any of the other top witnesses know what is going on with the defi announcement? I've seen many people wondering the same thing as myself.

And I see, thank you for the reply. Witnesses benefit just about more than anyone else when the price goes up, is there any in the Top 20 that you know of are actively working on projects that will help grow the ecosystem?

Yes, maybe this is relevant: https://steemit.com/steem/@jayplayco/sun-let-s-get-steem-into-the-sun-mining-pool

I am not particularly familiar with other TOP witnesses - but you can alway check their pages for latest updates.

Yes it is thank you. I just assumed that since witnesses are some of the top earners it would benefit them just about more than anyone else by working to get the price of steem higher.
