100,000 blocks away

Great. Goos luck to produce the first block soon. 👍

Oh yeah! We're off to the races : )

I bet there are care and feeding instructions I should look at...

Thanks again for your help!!!

Excellent. Let me know when your witness is on the list so I can vote for it. Or is it already?

@ervin-lemark thinks you have earned a vote of @investinthefutur !

Oh Thanks!!! I'm not sure I'd even vote for myself yet... It's unstable and missing blocks. I did however vote for you : )

Hive On!

Thanks a lot!

Unstable? How can I help you?

Oh... That's such a GREAT question : )
Let's start here. This does not look good...

This seems like a rights issue to me. The user you are running the script with doesn't have the right to modify the file?

It's the first idea I can come up with :)

Anyway, the real experts are reachable in Discord. Do you have access to the Discord server Engine, channel Witnesses?

If not, what's your Discord name so I can invite you...

I think I'm pounding my way through it...
Reinstalled (everything) and without errors I'm 30K blocks away.

More to come : )

Ooppss!!! Soooo don't like to look at things... That 300 K !!!!
I'm going the wrong way : /

What database image did you start with? Catching the head already?

It's probably me not being able to follow steps constantly between the documents I could find ; )

For real.

What I used is

hsc_20210203_b50993579.archive

What I think happened was my edit to "config.json" being 0, or 50993579

https://hive.blog/engine/@rishi556/how-to-set-up-a-hive-engine-witness-step-by-step-guide

"startHiveBlock": 0,

https://github.com/hive-engine/steemsmartcontracts-wiki/blob/master/How-to-setup-a-Steem-Smart-Contracts-node.md

When using this snapshot, set startHiveBlock to 50993579 in your config file.

I'm catching up tho : )
