this.piston.rocks maintenance downtime 11/Jan/2017 09am UTC

I would like to inform everyone that the this.piston.rocks API node
(provided by ChainSquad GmbH) will be down for
approximately 1h tomorrow starting at 9am UTC in order to upgrade to
v0.16.1.

We expect the new code to be more robust and less IO intensive and hope
for higher throughputs to become less stressing for the hardware.

In the meantime, we recommend redirecting your services to
wss://node.steem.ws until Steemit offers a high-availability endpoint.

Please also consider approving chainsquad's witness: chainsquad.com! Thanks.
