Good morning , last night at +/- 01:00 AM my witness @stresskiller was finally updated to 1.28.8 , updated on the second witness is still running and should be done somewhere arround 2 or 3 AM tomorrow morning .
Please make sure your witness votes are still on active witnesses , there are a lot of inactive witnesses still getting votes holding back the new ones . and with an inactive witness i mean a witness that didn't sign a block for more then 30 days .
you can look it up at this website from @arcange https://hive.arcange.eu/witnesses/
and when you hover with you mouse over the lastblock column it will show you how long ago it signed the last block .
There are also a lot of witnesses that don't turn their witness off and people still think that they are active .
To check that pretty fast you can use this website by @primersion
https://primersion.com/witnesses
just type in your name no need to login and it will show you your current votes
like mine are like this :
at the top you see that @stress.node signed the last block 2 days ago before i shut it down to run updates and my other backup is @suc7 currently not online
About the update 1.28.8 it self @blocktrades made a post about all the ins and outs you can find it here : https://ecency.com/@blocktrades/haf-api-stack-1-28-8-release-notes-changes-since-1-28-6
to update you witness just edit the .env file set your : HIVE_VERSION=1.28.8 so that it will pull the new docker file and in the Arguments ARGUMENTS="--force-replay"
make sure you disable the witness at this website made by @ausbitbank https://hive.ausbit.dev/witness
That way you won't mis any blocks while you are updating the witness .
well that is all for today :)
