RE: Minnowbooster is down : RPC Node lag
The thing is that we have to write a post and post it. Currently I am not able to post on that account and all others who can were sleeping.
That is why we improve the website to give you automatic updates on what is happening. And the website was immediately showing that there is an rpc problem.
Sadly no one asked us before the node got down, so I noticed it when it was already 8 hours late. And with all the safety we built into minnowbooster it was a nuisance but not a problem.
Updating the top above the username is definitely possible. Thank you for that suggestion. We will have to think what we use it for. Rpc node lag is something that is getting less and less, so we plan to have fallbacks setup before we come around to implementing dynamic headers.
In the end, rest assured that your funds won't be lost. The bot will catch up and process your vote. And we are available on all channels, the quickest on discord.
No problem, these things do happen. Sorry that you were away from your computer and could not respond; and I understand that it must have been an unearthly hour in some parts of the world.
Thank you for taking my suggestion. The status of Randowhale, whether it is sleeping or awake, is right on top of the profile - have seen some others do it too, maybe because it is a very effective form of communication. I use Discord sometimes, but my guess is that most users don't - and Steemit Chat is now a place from which people tend to stay away due to several reasons.
That is a solid guarantee. Minnowbooster is the most popular upvote resource on Steemit due to reasons like these; also because of the amazing ROI, and promptness with which it votes.
But, if I may ask since Minnowbooster is known more as an instant booster(unlike the ones for which you have to wait for 2.5 hours or eternity), if someone wants a refund as a special case for this time as this node issue as you stated is far and few, would you consider it for those who might ask?
I have no cause to be distressed in this instance since I missed my regular posting schedule and hence did not use Minnowbooster after my last post a day and a half ago.
Thanks for the tactful reply!
