Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers!
If anyone understood the value of developers, it's good old Steve Ballmer. While Steemit developers are busy with various projects, many bugs remain unaddressed (less priority?).
I was happily writing a new tool for you, my fellow witnesses, in steem-js, when I stumbled upon a bug that halted my project. I was disappointed after spending hours writing the tool, I couldn't go any further and share it with you.
When trying to broadcast the signing key to disable the witness, I get this:
Error: transaction.operations = witness_update,[object Object] cause: witness_update.block_signing_key = STM1111111111111111111111111111111114T1Anm cause: Invalid sequence tag
The bug has already been submitted last month https://github.com/steemit/steem-js/issues/267, without any fix yet. The same bug also affects golos-js https://github.com/GolosChain/golos-js/issues/12.
I'm offering a 20 STEEM for anyone who can fix it within a week.
So get crackin'.
Maybe add a condition in the code to skip the encryption checks on that particular key.
Let us repeat Steve Ballmer's mantra to give you some inspiration, may his legendary sweating force guide you on this adventure.
Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers!
