RE: jesta witness update - 2016-09-23
Keep up the good work! You're a merit to the Steem community :)
What does the failover script do exactly to switch between nodes? What happens if there are two nodes, and one goes down, without the script?
There are 3 components to what I'm currently running:
The failover script lives on a 3rd server (currently my laptop, which is always online). The script continually monitors the
total_missedfield on my witness account, and once it hits a certain threshold, triggers anupdate_witnesscommand to update the signing key from Key 1 to Key 2.So each of my witness servers all have unique keys, and to swap servers, I just need to issue that command on the blockchain.
