How to lose all your peers in one block (a witness update) - by gtg@gtg
A detailed witness update on Hive's July 9–10 network hiccups caused by a p2p misbehavior during a fork window. The post explains the root cause: a bug where late but honest blocks were treated as invalid and led to mass disconnections, triggering multiple network storms. It covers the impact (missed slots, witness participation dips, API node instability), the data-backed analysis from HAF, and the hotfixes implemented in v1.28.7 (two main changes: treat late blocks as unlinkable rather than invalid, and shorten the goodbye message to prevent unreadable logs). It also provides upgrade guidance for witnesses, seed nodes, and API nodes, emphasizes that the issue did not affect transactions, and offers governance and uptime reflections.


The COTI Bag Keeps Growing - by cryptoandcoffee@cryptoandcoffee
A crypto investor shares an update on accumulating and staking COTI, highlighting a high transaction count (339) since converting to MetaMask in 2025, and substantial recent growth of roughly 9,000 COTI added over 15 days. The post discusses aiming for 240 COTI daily rewards (currently around 223), with 333k COTI staked at 26.35% APR to reach that goal by early August. The writer emphasizes the importance of setting targets, tracking growth, and staying informed about crypto developments, arguing that accumulating now can position investors well for future ATHs. They cite COTI’s recent technology improvements and privacy features on Ethereum as a potential driver for value, while acknowledging price fluctuations and the possibility of a new ATH in the coming years. The overall message encourages disciplined, long-term growth and active asset management rather than relying on short-term price spikes. The post includes two images related to COTI staking and progress and ends with a note that it was posted using INLEO.
