The Hive. When steemit went down.
The Hive When Steemit went down
Howdy folks'.
Oh WOW! it has being an eventful week in Steemit. The crashing of the servers. It disrupted everything, the most obvious our ability to post comment and vote.
During last weeks Steemit meltdown, Steem-auto was off line for a while and curation trail votes did not all go through, This was beyond the control of The Hive group. I noticed this on one of the bomb trails, or more specifically on Insideoutlets post. After voting, using "thehiv" I go back and check that all votes went to the post. I had being doing this more so to make sure we were reaching our levels on rewards.
I noticed on insideoutlets post that only the vote from "thehiv" was going to the post. Not going to be a great curation trail vote on that post. I did make an effort to remedy this, And some may have seen me un-vote on their post, I did return the vote to re-start the curation trail after Steem-auto was back on-line.
I only mention this should the case be anyone thought their post was un-voted, we did vote you up again. Sorry about any confusion this may have caused.
My understanding is when the platform went down it had actually closed as a security measure. There was an attempt to withdraw vests from the server which where not available, this activated a security alert and all witness had to agree the threat was gone or resolved before the platform could be re-started. With the different time zones and the time of the attempted withdrawal, it was a few hours before all witness were able to correct the security alert.
I do not know all the technical terms to use to explain this, This is the lay-man version not the scientists or maybe I should say not the IT girls analyse.
We learnt a bit from this, when the site goes down, make sure other platforms we use are up to before trying to use their services.
@enginewitty has put a post out about this that explains what went on better for those who would like to read more.
