The recent minor issue many experienced this last week was due to API node updates that were outside of our control. The updates made to the nodes we were using broke the New Post Fetching Daemon. We are happy to announce we got everything working again in a quick fix manner, however we are announcing 3 things:
We will be setting up our own API node going forward this week. This will ensure that our systems do not get broken due to an unexpected update another node decides to implement.
We will begin setting up and becoming a witness since we already will be running a full node/api.
Everyone who was a member during this issue will receive a bonus rank increase this weekend!
We apologize for the last 4 days of issues, our dev was out of the office for the first time in months and that was the week the primary nodes decided to change things unannounced! This month is going to be huge not only for Steem but for ShadowBot as well!
Happy Steeming!
