I've been launching the witness_node the same way for several months and never ran into issues like you had, both building locally and copying to a VPS. One thing that did bug me a few times was an incorrect genesis path, that error message really is unclear...

Yeah that one bit me in the ass so hard I still can't sit without pain

It was changed from a relative path that processed ~ for example to an absolute one.

After upgrading, I'm unable to download blocks - I deleted all data dirs etc to be sure, used --resync-blockchain etc too.

It's stuck at
482000ms th_a       witness.cpp:179               block_production_loo ] Not producing block because production is disabled until we receive a recent block (see: --enable-stale-production)

Is the seednode not sending blocks? Is there another seed node I can try?

I am getting this sometimes

Thank you

Sorry to keep asking stupid questions...but, I was trying to edit xeroc scrypt for feed, and vim seems stuck. There is --INSERT --recording at the end, but I cannot write or even quit... Hint?

Try press ESC ESC ESC, then ':q!'?

spartako, thank you again for sending CORE! I managed to upgrade my account now

Unfortunately, I'm still short 5000 CORE to actually create a witness. Could someone please send another 5000 to account:
'bitspace-testaccount1'?

In case anyone wonders, the total CORE amount needed to register a witness is 15000 CORE. 10k for the account upgrade + 5K for creating the witness (unless I'm missing something)
