As of now @v4vapp is back up and being watched carefully.

I will turn the system back on in about 90 minutes at around 13:30. I need to be at home to watch it carefully when it comes on.

I have now fixed what needed to be fixed and I'm in the process of deploying it, I needed to change both the back end and the public API so it wasn't a simple job.

Right now I'm "replaying" the Hive chain to catch up and that will take a little time before I can set the site live again, hopefully no more than an hour or two.

It looks like someone is trying to hack it and take funds. I think I know what I need to fix but it's really late here and I'll pick it up in the morning.

Sorry.

Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.

    We see that there are many people who are running an app and after a problem arises in it, they do not fix it quickly, so this destroys the user's trust. You have fixed this app quickly with the app, this is very good for the users, this will make them happy, they will tell more people about this app.

    Thank you for the quick fix and update! Glad to hear the platform is safe now.

    Needless to say that, security always comes first! and is critically important to safeguard the interests of one and all.

    Brian, perhaps you really acted as a saviour and took vital and critical preventive measures, being the need of the hour.

    Database scaling issues are the ultimate proof-of-work for any real web3 app. When data volume explodes like this, taking the bridge down for index rebuilds and query optimizations is a heavy but completely necessary call to ensure long-term stability. Most front-end users don't realize the backend heavy lifting required to keep a Hive-to-Lightning bridge running seamlessly. Glad to hear the state and funds are completely safe. Take your time getting it optimized for the next wave, Brian.
