Looks like the STEEM network's upgrade to v0.16.0 has started and we're likely to see more and more witness support on the incoming hardfork in the upcoming days. Very exciting times for STEEM. If you're not up to date with the changes incoming with STEEM v0.16.0 a list of proposed changes can be seen in the article linked below:
Proposed Changes to STEEM Economy
Witnesses Already Running STEEM v0.16.0
As of the time of writing this I briefly skimmed over the top 25 witness spots and noticed a couple witnesses already trying 0.16.0! Personally rolling it out on my servers here overnight.
STEEM 0.16.0 Official Release
(and a bit further down the list...)
My Migration has Started as well!
Currently my main witness node is being rebuilt to run the v0.16.0rc3 release which will likely end up the final (or very close to it). Almost half a dozen STEEM servers I run will be updated over the course of the next 24 hours or so and hopefully everything upgrades smoothly. When the official release (on tuesday I believe?) is released I'll be upgrading again.
Excited to see the new changes take place with STEEM v0.16.0 in regards to inflation
Noticed during this build that private messaging may be on the horizon..?
(Built STEEM 2 dozen times now.. Actually paid attention to it this time!)
Syncing from scratch! Will update how long it takes on this post later.
Update: Still Syncing from scratch... Tons of Red from Push Size Errors Reported!
Red seems cleard up.. Not sure if it's disk or network that is slowing me down at this point.
Will see if blockchain transplants are viable for sure after this all night endevour
True to form some how it ends up crashing on me of course... lol FML
Restarted the sync with --replay-blockchain .... Seems to be working
Looks like a success!!! Will have to see if 0.16.0 works on my Main shortly!
WOOT! Signed my first block with version 16... Finally!
Now.. To wait to see if v0.16.0 runs well on my main Node, then update the other 4 servers.I'll update this post with my findings on the sync time and how the upgrade goes here as more info is available! Really hoping to see this new STEEM version take hold and but a nice damper on the current inflation rates.
STEEM was worth $0.1233 USD at the time this post was written.
