Witness Server Updating to v0.20.10
A new version of Steemd was released 3 days ago, which addresses some important vulnerabilities.
This release fixes a vulnerability in how the pending transaction queue is treated during block application. In the worst case, the previous behavior could result in block propagation delays and general instability/denial of service of the Steem network.
If you recall a few weeks ago, steemit.com was suffering from some DDoS attacks, and it appears to be related to this issue. All witnesses should update to this new version. Thanks @klye for the PSA.
My server is currently replaying the Steem blockchain and should be functional again in a few hours.
My witness is deactivated until then, and will be reactivated when I wake up.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
