🚨Emergency🚨 Update for Steem-in-a-box (witnesses, seeds, and RPCs)
Attention all of you who operate a witness, seed, or RPC node
Earlier today, the network went offline due to a bug in 0.19.3. All witnesses are required to update to 0.19.5 immediately.
How to update my witness or seed?
As a lot of seeds may not be updated yet, it's highly recommended to add Steemit's own seeds to your config.ini
seed-node = seed-east.steemit.com:2001
seed-node = seed-central.steemit.com:2001
seed-node = seed-west.steemit.com:2001
Then, update using install
./run.sh install
./run.sh restart
Please be aware that there are mixed reports of replays being required. If you run into errors such as "Lock Timeout", which do not resolve themselves after running for 10-20 mins, please run the following to clear your shared memory and replay:
./run.sh stop
rm -rf /dev/shm/*
./run.sh replay
If you are running a full node (i.e. an RPC), use install_full instead of install.
If you continue to have issues, ask in #witness on https://steem.chat

Thank you for this quick fix! Amazing as usual!
@someguy123 you are the best, thank you for keeping the Steemit blockchain stable and updating the Steem-in-a-box for everyone!
Thank you for this... I am in the middle of 'replay' but didn't remove '/dev/shm'.... I hope everything is fine.
It will most likely be fine. Replay normally re-builds the /dev/shm, but to be safe it's always good to delete it anyway.
If you run into problems with the replay, you can try deleting it then, if not you're fine :)
Thank you for this, exactly what I'm looking for right now. Let's upgrade those servers now!
Thank you so much @someguy123 for releasing such a vital informantion.
We indeed will work with what you have released.
Just what I have been waiting for!
Thanks for this information @someguy123
Is it normal to get negative latency?
1130851ms th_a application.cpp:514 handle_block ] Got 42 transactions on block 23850830 by roelandp -- latency: -3148 ms
As always, timely action.
Well done.
Thanks!
Yep! Some transaction was lost this night.. hope it is solved
Thanks for the alert
steemchat is down.
I used steem in a box to install my witness server. where do I find config.ini to add steemits nodes
nano data/witness_node_data_dir/config.inithanks - got it I think
Good deal, you're welcome.
