People I am so sorry I broke the blockchain. Last night when I was saying my prayer for the hardfork, I walked my candles around the pentacle in a clockwise direction. Any noob knows I should have walked in a counterclockwise direction! :facepalm:
Please forgive me and in the future I will make sure to test my shamanic witchery more thoroughly. Although this wasn't entirely my fault, the spiritworld test net couldn't duplicate the vagaries and vicissitudes of "reality". Also, another point - "reality" isn't even very real in the first place so who is to say we aren't all experiencing a successful test of a network failure in the spirit realm right now while our bodies are frozen in timespace?
In closing, don't judge me too harshly. At least I tried to influence the dark powers to give their blessings to this hardfork. If you like what I am doing here don't forget to cast your chicken entrails for my spirit witness. If you are at a loss for what to do while the API nodes are sorting themselves out, please stare into the below until your soul vacates your mortal coil. Thanks - Carl
