RE: BitShares entered unplanned maintenance mode

in #bitshares7 years ago

All software has potential for undiscovered bugs even after years of stable use. This is not a consensus failure because all nodes stopped at once and there are no forks. All nodes "agree" on the bug.

Once the bug is fixed all nodes will resume.

Sort:  

It is worth noting this is the first glitch in over two years of operations - during much which BTS was processing more daily tx than BTC. It is much better to find and resolve these issues now when BTS/STEEM/EOS are in their infancy than a few years down the road when they have become global financial titans.

If you've ever seen a bank machine ATM say "Sorry, currently unavailable. Or not in service" in your entire life. You'll understand this happens rarely, but it does happen. Anything that runs on software needs to be tweaked, upgraded, and maintained from time to time.

My level of worry from 0% to 100% is exactly 0%

Thanks for clarifying. I think everyone panics when they don't know what's going on. Easy to imagine the worst.

is this bug affecting (possibly) other graphene coins? ie should STEEM add this?
