Hello all. So the troubleshooting with the server ended up finding a dead backplane on the server. I purchased a replacement server, but they're heavy and ship slowly. It is scheduled to arrive on September 4th, and I hope to have it set up and the VMs migrated by the 5th. So far we've been fortunate to only have had a single FC, if you can all be patient, I may be able to get the node back up with only 1 closure! Thank you all for your patience and well wishes. Noderunning is definitely Reckless, and you never know what's going to go wrong next! I'm going to try my hand at setting up live migration on the VM when I get the cluster recovered, so the node can survive not only hard drive failures, but also server failures in the future.
After 6 days of downtime and only 2 FCs, RecklessApotheosis is back up and in the game! It'll take a while to sync blocks and finish starting but we are back in business! Thank you all for your patience! The server will probably go down a couple more times tomorrow as I clean up some hardware stuff but I'll make sure there are no pending forwards then.

Not noderunning related, but we received an awesome delivery today of 54,000 bzm2 ASICs! We are going to he launching both a tremendously exciting "first ever" miner as well as a larger model that we will be launching a crowd funding campaign for soon! We can't wait to show you all what we have cooking!

Hello all from NABS! If you'll be in Dallas this week send me a message and I'd love to meet you at the Summit! I'm volunteering as a morning usher both days, but will be free in the afternoons and evenings. I'll also be at the official after party with Cholla and Braiins!

I'm such a nerd...NABS is over, and I had some time to kill out by DFW before I leave Texas. We don't have Steak'n'Shakes near me, so I decided to walk almost 4 miles tonight to try Steak'n'Shake tallow fries and pay with Bitcoin! An hour later and I was not disappointed! Second chain restaunt I've been able to use Lightning to first party pay at, and first in the US! Gradually, then suddenly! Tomorrow I'll be home, and packing for Plan B Forum in Lugano, hope to see more of my fellow nerds out there in a little over a week!

Good morning from Lugano's Plan B Forum everyone! If you're here for the conference I'm here with my wife and would love to say hi to another pleb miner, noderunner, educator or Bitcoin enthusiast!
