After seven years on the blockchain, I have built a server and am now waiting to my first block to mine. Price feed seems to be working, should update every 12 hours based on current settings.
So now I wait for my first transaction to process then my version and last block should populate in the witness tab.
Guessing that could be anywhere from now to 24 hours from now.
Update: I mined my first block two hours ago early Monday morning.
