Hail & Well Met Fellow STEEM Network Users! This is my First Witness Update of 2017!

STEEM.GLOBAL Daily STEEM Faucet Re-Launched!

Starting the first week of 2017 of right with a very special announcement that I've managed to get moved into the city as well as get the STEEM.GLOBAL faucet back online and operational after an accident deleted the old version. For a limited time the daily faucet payouts have been pumped up to 0.050 STEEM per 24 hours per user! Go sign up for an account today!

All old accounts were deleted so you'll have to make new ones.. Balances were also lost as well so you'll have to start fresh. My apologies to those who were saving up STEEM. Hopefully the increased daily payout rate will help you all catch up.

Witness Sever Hiccups Being Investigated

Over the course of the last 2 days my main witness server has had 2 instances spaced many hours apart where a block was missed. I'm still investigating the cause of these rogue block misses and will hopefully be able to figure out what is causing it.

It's to be mentioned my main witness node has not been restarted in over a month and I will perhaps switch over to my backup node and restart my main node here shortly to see if this clears it up. One possibility was temporary latency at my hosting company so I'll be looking to see if that is the cause as well.

I'm not panicking yet about 2 missed blocks but would like to fix the problem before it becomes a bigger one! Will let you know my findings in a future post.

Moved Into the City, Broke my Workstation in Half

Some moves are easier than others, This one sucked! Ended up packing most of my worldly possesions int othe back of a friends tiny 1/4 tonne truck and driving 35 minutes through a blizzard the night of my move. Nothing fell off the truck and got lucky in that respects.. However my roommate and her brother gun' ho to help me unload the truck ended up somehow destroying my dresser which acted as my computer desk and clothes storage.. Keeping an eye out on the local markets for an affordable replacement.
