I haven't been posting for a while, but I still have been making small changes to the Hive / Hive-Engine Monitor page. If you have never heard of that before, the main purpose of the page is to check your Hive / Hive-Engine witness votes. Additionally it provides some useful information about the earnings of witnesses and some useful resources if you want to start a Hive-Engine witness yourself.
HIVE
Head over there right now and check your Hive witness votes, by entering your Hive account name and clicking on "Check witness votes": https://primersion.com/witnesses
I have already written in many of my previous posts, why it's important to keep your votes up-to-date and you can find plenty of other posts about it. If on the page any of your votes show up in red on top saying "Please review the following votes" you should remove them and replace them with active ones, which may look like this:
NEW: I have recently made a change on when votes will show up as "outdated". Previously witnesses with a price feed older than a week were always showing up on top. Now only witnesses in the top 20 will show up, if they have an old price feed, since only the top 20 witnesses are used for the calculations and the price feed is not all that important for the remaining ones.
Outdated ones will still show up in the list of witnesses in red, but they are not highlighted on top of the list anymore:
One more thing, which was bothering me for a while was the witness earnings page, which shows the last days / last weeks earning of all Hive witnesses. Until now I have been using a small python program, which was processing Hive blocks in the background and updating all information about the Hive witnesses. The program was crashing all now an then, which made this a bit annoying.
NEW: I have changed it to fetch up-to-date information directly using HiveSQL. The data is aggregated and displayed directly over here: https://primersion.com/earnings
Hive-Engine
I have added a new updated snapshoting feature a few weeks ago, which creates daily snapshots of the Hive-Engine sidechain at 11pm UTC. This is especially useful for people running a Hive-Engine node, since the nodes diverge from the chain all now an then, which requires the node to be restored. You can find the snapshot in the menu on the left side:
Or directly using the link: https://snap.primersion.com/
Additionally I have made a few smaller changes in several areas over the last months, which I don't remember in detail.
I am always trying to improve the page, since I am using it regularly myself too.
That's it for now and I hope to be posting more regularly again in the next weeks.
Please support me by voting for my HIVE witness:
HIVE (using Hivesigner / Keychain)
Erledigt.
Für welchen Zeitraum gilt der Verdienst?
LG.
Danke für deinen Vote!
Der Zeitraum kann rechts oben zwischen "Letzte Woche" und "Letzte 24 Stunden" umgestellt werden:
Kannst Du mir sagen mit welchen Kosten ich rechnen muss, um als Zeuge zu starten?
LG.
Der Server auf dem ich den Witness Node laufen habe kostet mich in etwa 50-60€ im Monat und hat 32GB Arbeitsspeicher. Außerdem verwendet der Node aktuell in etwa 500GB Speicher.
Hand aufs Herz:
Ich habe keinerlei Ahnung vom Programmieren o.ä.
Könnte ich das auch machen?
Also vom Programmieren muss man nicht unbedingt Ahnung haben um einen Hive Node zu betreiben. Allerdings sollte man sich mit Linux Betriebssystem auskennen. Mit Hilfe von "Hive in a box" ist das Aufsetzen des Hive Nodes selbst eigentlich recht unkompliziert. Da sollte man sich zu Beginn aber drauf einstellen, dass man einiges an Zeit investieren muss um das ganze zum laufen zu bekommen.
Das "schwierige" ist dann im Grunde, genügend Votes für deinen Witness Account zu sammeln, damit sich der Prozess vielleicht auch irgendwann für dich lohnt.
Ich Danke Dir für deine Informationen.
Wie bist Du damit zufrieden?
Lohnt sich eine technische Aufrüstung um mehr zu erreichen, oder ist alles von den Stimmen abhängig?
Was erreicht man, wenn man keine 20 Stimmen bekommt, bzw. wieviel Stimmen braucht man, damit es sich lohnt?
Selbstverständlich brauchst Du Fragen die Du nicht beantworten möchtest auch nicht zu beantworten.
LG.
Thank you @primersion for all you do for us in the hive community.
I am a newbie here and I would like to ask...
Please what is a Hive-Engine witness?
Thank you once again @primersion
You are welcome. I am doing as much as I can with my limited time. Would like to do more..
Hive-Engine is a sidechain of the Hive blockchain and the witnesses verify the blocks, which are added to the sidechain. So they make sure the chain runs smoothly and without being manipulated and in return they get rewarded with the token BEE.
@primersion thank you for your answer. It really helps.
Although I was just wondering...
What does it take to become a hive engine witness?
For becoming a Hive-Engine witness you need to run a Hive-Engine node on a server. You will find more info on that e.g. in this guide https://peakd.com/engine/@rishi556/how-to-set-up-a-hive-engine-witness-step-by-step-guide
And then you need people to vote for you as witness - the more votes you get, the higher the rewards.
Wow.
Sounds like a lot of work... @primersion .
Thank you for the heads-up.
Good job
Thanks

Hello.
Allow me to address you in this way.
If it is not against your conviction, I would like to ask for your support.
I need here:
https://www.sportstalksocial.com/@filosof103/i-need-your-support-I-need-your-support.
just a "vote" from you.
This will support the raffle I am running on:
https://www.sportstalksocial.com/
every week.
I would like to encourage the community of Steem - Hive - and Blurt on the
the "sporty" side.
Also a delegation - which you can withdraw at any time - supports the project.
Thank you for your time.
LG.

Erledigt. Ich habe zwar nicht viele SPORTS token, aber immerhin sind es 2000
Der Wille zählt.
Ich Danke Dir dafür.
Mit einem Reblog kannst Du mir auch helfen. Vielleicht machen dann mehr mit?
Auf alle Fälle finde ich es toll, dass Du ein Vote dagelassen hast.
Danke nochmals.
LG.
