why my witness is down
What happened
I had to temporarily deactivate my witness, because the hardware failed.
A disc broke and it had to be replaced.
Solved
I have set the server up again and it's currently indexing the block_log
.
This will take a while. Once it is finished and caught up to the current block, I will activate the witness again.
Missed Blocks
I missed 1 block because of it.
Earlier , I missed a bunch of blocks because I had some trouble setting everything up.
That is all solved now.
If nothing breaks, this should run stable for a while.
Fallback
I only run for backup, and I can not afford a fallback-server.
Whenever I have to do maintenance, I have to deactivate the witness.
Should the Hive price and my witness votes allow for it, I would love to upgrade one day.

I have not a lot of HP bit you got a Vote.
How to disable a witness?
Like a
vote
or apost
, Hive has a special transaction:witness_update
.By making a witness update, you 'activate' the witness (block signing queue), by updating with a special 'null' key, you deactivate (leave the queue).
Thank you.
Started few days ago on Blurt as witness and as soon as i get some experience i want to try it on hive too
That's cool. I'm glad it is back. What will happen if a witness misses a block or more? Any penalty?
There is no direct penalty, it just should not happen.
Alryt.
Of course, my friend, let's hope these problems are resolved very soon
I'm quite confident that you will put everything back in place and activate the witness again.
As well, I hope you'll be able to upgrade one day, and I wish that day would rather be sooner than later.
At the same time, I'll try to build my HP as much as I can, so my vote would be worth more to you. (People here would say that I will try to hit two flies with one slam.) 😉😄
I have been meaning to vote your witness, it just keeps eluding me, is there a direct link, please?
I am at rank 70 somewhere.
This should work as a direct link:
