RE: We welcome you all to this week's issue of #talkchannel in the WORLD OF XPILAR Community "theme witnesses"( week25)
Hi @xpilar! I'm quite busy with installing a new server and transferring part of the SteemWorld backend to it. Yesterday one of my servers crashed and I had a hard time last night to recover it, but I was able to get the backend temporarily running again (without the old follower history data for now). The new server will replace that one when all is done in the coming days, because it has a bit more power than the old one (which will then become a simple Steem seed node to further support the network).
As on that server there also was a local Steem node running when it crashed, the rocksdb databases got corrupted and I need to replay the whole blockchain (or if possible start from the last checkpoint). This was not really what I had planned to do for the week, but in the developer/witness world there is sometimes no choice and one needs to act very quickly.
If someone should have any witness related questions, he can just reply to this comment and I will try to answer later ;)
Hi @steemchiller
yes, good to hear that you have the system up and running again.
thank you for taking the time to comment here
No questions, just admired with the hard but even more fantastic work you are doing as witness, supporting and with the great tools!!
Thanks for all, @SteemChiller!!
