"We just came back online, only to black out again..."
That's the sentence I wrote about 6-8 hours ago when I was originally trying to post this post. So what's going on with our blockchain @steemit?

I am guessing that this problem has something to do with a bug inside of the code for hardfork 20. It would make sense to me, as more and more witnesses have been switching out the version they are running lately. This would mean that they have to roll back their servers to v19 before everything is back to normal.
I thought with the coders running stuff on testnets, and spending a TON of time before releasing a hardfork we would not have to run into stuff like the entire blockchain halting...
When writing a bit with @tobixen earlier today, he mentioned that the number of inactive witnesses on the Steem blockchain might play a part in why it has taken so long for us to get back online; that would make sense to me. Maybe its about time people change their witness votes, or vote in the first place...
