@pcste witness update 27/09/2018 - server upgraded to steem 0.20.3

in #witness6 years ago

As most of you now know hardfork 20 did not go so smoothly. So all the witness servers had to upgrade to a hardfork 20 patch , steem 0.20.3

All servers had to replay the blockchain after upgrade, which took many hours. Hence its taken a couple of days for steemit to start working properly again.

hopefully there will be no more issues.
If you had problems posting or doing anything on steemit, you should be ok now.

Your voting and commenting parameters have now changed, and you now have 'resource credits' and 'mana' these now affect your voting and commenting. If you would like to check the status of these, go to https://steemd.com/@ (type your steemit username after the @ sign)

i.e. my url is https://steemd.com/@pcste

notice on the left hand side panels you have voting mana at the top and in the 2nd panel down it shows your Resource credits. There it tells you how many comments and votes you currently have.

Upraded to steem 0.20.3 (just waiting to sign 1st block then the version will show in witness info)

If you like my posts and what i'm doing on steemit, please give me a witness vote.
witnesses keep the steemit blockchain running smoothly and it costs us to run our servers.
Your witness vote helps to pay for the server cost. as yet i do not have enough votes to cover my costs.

Please vote pcste for witness.
to vote for me go to : https://steemit.com/~witnesses scroll down the page and enter pcste into the box (dont use @sign) then click vote

I’m sorry everything is not back to normal, you need an account with 75 SP to do anything,
This is going to destroy any chance to onboarding new users
For most users of Steem the blockchain is unusable
