Title: Bitshares 2.0 Witness ready
Post by: wmbutler on October 30, 2015, 05:28:53 pm

All,

So, I set up a witness and have had it running for a couple of days. I appear to have votes, but still am not showing up as a witness.

Code: [Select]

{
  "id": "1.6.57",
  "witness_account": "1.2.21594",
  "last_aslot": 0,
  "signing_key": "BTS69UGUBGkvXb37Ea1UtnoSUpukTr8FDc7G5jFjzS8soGNNDjkjo",
  "vote_id": "1:86",
  "total_votes": "20803232860",
  "url": "url-tp-proposal",
  "total_missed": 0,
  "last_confirmed_block_num": 0
}

The only thing that's odd to me is that I appear to have two sets of keys in my

Code: [Select]

dump_private_keys

Code: [Select]

[[
    "BTS69UGUBGkvXb37Ea1UtnoSUpukTr8FDc7G5jFjzS8soGNNDjkjo",
    "REDACTED"
  ],[
    "BTS62cZit4AJKV4Z7gGb9TVvPXfbQM7HBAL7XBWCptrdv8hMnSCVT",
    "REDACTED"
  ]
]

When I started the witness, I only declared the signing key that was associated with my get_witness billbutler object. Does anyone see any obvious reason why I am not an active witness now?

You can see the list of current witnesses and # votes here:

it looks like you need more votes (138M is the smallest)

Wow! Thanks for showing that to me. Now I suppose I need to figure out some good deeds in order to acquire votes!

Also in regards to your key pairs.  BTS69UGUBGkvXb37Ea1UtnoSUpukTr8FDc7G5jFjzS8soGNNDjkjo is your signing key, and BTS62cZit4AJKV4Z7gGb9TVvPXfbQM7HBAL7XBWCptrdv8hMnSCVT is the active key of account billbutler.  the signing key is used only to sign blocks as a witness.  The active key is used to sign other transactions for your account.
