Title: Anyone else's delegates missing blocks unexpectedly?
Post by: nethyb on September 22, 2014, 06:57:18 am: Both my delegates www.minebitshares-com and www2.minebitshares-com have missed blocks yesterday/today without explanation for the first time.

They both run on Amazon AWS instances (Ireland and Sydney) and nothing has changed apart from upgrading to 0.4.16 :'(

I know delegate.liondani has also had similar issues.

Anyone else experience missing blocks for the first time, or have any troubleshooting tips?

Although I had perfect internet connection my delegates end up on a fork.
They didn't synchronize until I've restarted the client.
This never happened before.

There's definitely something wrong with the networking code with 0.4.16
I left my non-delegate client (CLI) running after upgrading to 0.4.16 and it has stopped syncing multiple times now.
It requires one or more restarts of the client for it to sync again.

Post by: amencon on September 23, 2014, 04:07:19 pm: My delegate also mysteriously missed a couple chunks of blocks while I was sleeping last night. The connection was fine and it started producing on main chain again on it's own so I'm not sure what the problem was exactly.
