RE: Firecrackers and the Long Winding Road Towards Nothing at All
No, its a visual bug with the latest version of peakd, a hard browswer refresh will fix it (or at least should) Ctrl+Shift+R or / Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+F5 / Cmd +F5 depending on what operatig system you're on.
I'm a witness, and it costs bugger all to run a validator / consensus node. I've been a witness for less than a month, and while a full node (which helps the chain actually work) is a bit more complex and requires more hardware than I currently have - it is something that I am strongly considering when my wife's computer gets her next upgrade - because... I'll have the hardware, and there's no point in selling it for a pittance - and I get free power from the sun.
The "thing in it" is the very principle of HIVE, as far as I am concerned. Immutable blog posts. A ledger of ideas.
The immutable blockchain was the initial attraction. As a long-time content creator, there's nothing I dislike more than checking in one morning only to discover that the hosting site went bankrupt and took six years' worth of published work with them down the tubes. OR checking in and discovering that my stuff is suddenly taken hostage behind a paywall. Image host are particularly bad about that last bit.
Thanks for the explanation behind the mystery downvote.
It's not much, but I'll toss a vote at your witness. I like to support those who actually engage with the community.
