KLYE Witness Update - 2016/12/9

in #witness-category7 years ago (edited)


Hail STEEM community! Hope you are fairing well on your journeys!

After missing last week's self imposed witness update post scheduling due to eye troubles a special effort was made this week to have my witness update done on time and be more in depth than last weeks. Without further wait here is this week's witness update.

This Week as STEEM Witness

As of December 6th, 2016 most witnesses are now running version 0.16.0 and the inflation rate on STEEM has been cut to roughly 9.5% of what it was at launch. A ton of updating and resyncing was done in the past week as I upgrade all the various steemd clients that my services under development and running lay on top of.

Wrote a Visual Guide to steem.global Faucet Claiming


A short visual guide was written containing instructions on how to claim a bit of free STEEM each day from the faucet I launched on top of my steem.global seed node. Currently resyncing the seednode / faucet and will have it up shortly.

Steem-Roller.com Development is Now Main Focus


After asking the community on if I should focus majority of development hours between either the steem-roller.com or streemit.online projects the decision weighed in that I should focus on the steem-roller.com project. There is still a fair amount to be done in regards to designing, coding and testing. While the site is currently up and running it's entirely with imaginary STEEM at the moment and it WILL see frequent changes as progress continues on the site. So far the community has opted they'd like investment leveraging and a 20x amount was the only multiplier vote cast so far.

Wallet Changes Coming to streemit.online

With the STEEM network once again printing Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) the streemit.online project will be integrating both currency deposits and tipping on site in the upcoming weeks. If all goes well swapping on site as well may be possible, will keep everyone updated on the progress of the wallet and streemit SBD/STEEM conversion tool in the near future.

Some Pre-Weekend Maintenance on Servers

Both steem.global and streemit.online have been restarted and updates applied to their servers today. With that being said wallets are currently resyncing and hopefully will be operational within the next few hours. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Updates to Steem Backed Dollar APR


(screencap of witness parameters update - steemdb.com)
I've increased my Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) APR Interest rate back to 10% in order to try and maintain the $1 peg. Not sure this does a whole lot of difference as I'm only a backup witness but unless extreme circumstance dictates the APR rate be changed I will be avoiding altering this value in the future.

Personal Record Achieved for Blocks + Uptime


(screencap of daily blocks witnessed - steemdb.com)

Aside from the Main & Backup Witness Crash of November 18th my witness uptime and block production has been pretty darn good lately! Hopefully not jinxing anything but I think in the near future I'll actually see myself inducted into the top 19 witness list. Have a good one!

Thanks for all you do for us, @klye!

Appreciate the kind words.

Good job! Hows the HF16 block processing? Is your OS handling it well? I heard about some SDD possible issues from linux kernel. Thanks.

I do not recommend running HDD systems for HF16.

They chug in comparison to SSD systems from my research

Yes, I don't think anyone is, but I put it there anyways.

But you didn't answer my question.

On ubuntu I'm doing perfect.

Block processing is seamless on my dedicated servers. :)

Thank you for the update and all your hard work, @klye. Hopefully everything runs well with no hiccups. Glad to know your eyes are doing better too. Keep healthy, would ya? ;)

Health? what is that? :P

Hiccups are what make this work fun. Cheers merej99

Just for the fun of saying it: the local temperature reached 45 Celsius today, under the shadow :)

Thanks for keeping us posted mate:)

You are very welcome.
