RE: Witness Update - Upgraded My Node To 0.20.2
I'm glad to get all of the updates myself. I wish all of the witnesses would. Getting information out to the user is very helpful, since it seems like we're constantly expected to know more than we would need to anywhere else on a social platform, and yet, finding the information can be like searching for needles in a haystack, sans the powerful magnet.
So bring it on. The more the better.
Once the Top witnesses reach consensus, is there a chance that another seizure will happen if there's a bug, or is that likely to happen later when the HF is actually supposed to take effect. It sounds like the bug this time around was unique enough that it caused something that wouldn't normally happen to take place, something like the new hardfork acting like it was already in play.
I guess I'm wondering if there are more bugs if we can expect a blockchain stoppage again, even before Tuesday.
My personal opinion is that we won't witness another blockchain halt very soon. What happened was more in the "black swan" type of events category than on "regular" bugs. If there will be bugs, I don't really think they'll be at the same magnitude.
But that's just my educated guess, I'm not a core developer and I don't know the codebase that well.
At the end of the day, one can only hope, right? :)
Very true. We plan for the worst and hope for the best. Well, no more black swan events would be good. It sounds like this is the most ambitious HF in at least a while, and since most of us here haven't even experienced one yet, there's all kinds of questions. On the other side, we'll all be veterans of this one experience and can apply it to the next one. :)
Hi guys ... I would like to add my support for your statement "finding the information can be like searching for needles in a haystack" We need better search tools on steemit ... Something that will let you search by date would be nice so you can filter and search new or old info as needed ... The search is one of the most frustrating things about steemit . Also a way to bookmark your favorite channels as you end up following many to support them but your very favorite channels you want to check in on daily are mixed in the mess ... Have a good day everyone and don't forget to support your local meshnet initiatives.. Crypto and the meshnet combined will be an unstoppable force... Possibly world changing!

hey, @lifeofbrian.
I'm in agreement. Search is woefully lacking. There definitely needs to be a way to even get to your own stuff, let alone others. Every time I search for something on Google, I end up with all the two year old posts. Some are quite interesting, but out of date for the info I'm looking for.
I've been following the idea of a meshnet or ad hoc type of thing for a while now. I haven't bought anything yet, but I am very much interested in it. Cutting the cord completely yet still living in modern times requires getting off the grid and circumventing the ISP. It seems to be the last piece in the puzzle.
