RE: I Won't Be Updating My Witness

in #steem5 years ago

Dang. I just left from where I had my laptop. It would be a mess doing it from here. The witness didn't go offline with the fork if I understand it correctly. Any reason why you're asking to disable? Is an alternate chain on hf 20 still running? I haven't checked.

Sort:  

As long as you have an enabled signing key, with lots of voters, you will keep being scheduled to produce blocks, no matter the fork. And sadly, few months ago Steemit removed the 24h window of missed blocks (for a hypothetical security risk scenario) where a witness would be disabled by the system. The reason I'm bugging you (as I bug others) about it is to be fair to the low ranking witnesses, it dilutes the schedule and reduces their chance to produce blocks. Also, it causes a delay on the network when someone misses blocks.

That used to be different right? It used to disable itself after a certain amount of missed block right?

I will disable when I have the opportunity. Thanks for the info.

Yes, it used to auto-disable after missing blocks for 24h.
