I have been a witness on Hive for over 1 year now, and I have just updated my server to get ready for the HF26 and maybe many more to come in the future!
I need to thank @someguy123 for the work he has been doing with his docker version of the Hive witness node, his project makes it very easy to be a witness! Thank you a lot!
I simply followed his tutorial to update my server:
@someguy123/the-easy-way-to-upgrade-to-hardfork-26-hive-in-a-box
And everything worked, after a small troubleshooting, of course.
I have just signed and produced my first block with the software version 1.26.0 but the Hardfork will take place later, possibly some time during the next week if no major issues are found. The transition is expected to be smooth.
If you are curious about the Hive blockchain, this is the block that I have mined, seen through the brand new and amazing hivehub.dev block explorer:
