Looks like my witness node needs an update and rebuild due to it being unstable at best and crashy at worst. Hoping that this rebuild and resync happens quickly so I can get back to producing blocks. Will disable my witness here shortly to ensure there is no breaks in block production caused by my HIVE witness server resyncing.
My apologies for not paying attention to the witness server instance.. While I try my best to juggle all the things I'm involved in the fact of the matter is I haven't put in the due diligence to write a monitoring program to alert me and or automagically restart my witness if it crashes.. Will attempt to write such a thing here later.
