Witness Server Updated to v0.19.3
I have updated to the latest release of Steem v0.19.3, released while I was on vacation. This release isn't a hardfork, but addresses some security issues from spam attacks:
Previously fixed, but not contained in a tagged release, is a fix for an I/O vulnerability that could lead to a denial of service attack on nodes.
Added mitigations regarding bandwidth for custom operations, exploitation of which could lead to minor network instability, resulting in high block latency and the missing of blocks by witnesses.
Witness Node Config:
Feed: 3.135 (updated every 15 minutes)
APR: 0.0%
Registration: 0.1
Block Size: 65,536
Missed blocks: 137
Thank you for your support. Peace.

Could I ask your thoughts regarding dust votes please? Some people say it was addressed in hf20 others say not, I am finding it difficult to get a definitive answer regarding the 0.249 cent dust threshold.
I think it may be lower...?
from
python_scripts/tests/api_tests/database_api/get_config.json.patOkay thank you, so it does still exist then.
HF20 will have it removed it seems. Right now the first comment I made is what I found in a search for 'dust'. I guess it will be change to 0 later ...
Sorry for taking up your time here with this, though does the taking it down to zero, equal a diminishing vote level over a 1 year period for all? As I understand the maths, to get to a zero threshold would require a diminishing vote over a 1 year period, I may though be wrong, and am open to that.
