Thank you for your replies.
I (now) understand that the bitUSD is not as stable as I believed. You know, reading on when I first started to be interested in Bitshares (and Protoshares long ago), I came to believe that bitUSD was a strong thing that would never become some sort of tether coin... Wording like the ones found here : https://steemit.com/bitshares/@xeroc/what-makes-the-bitusd-than-nubits always made me believe it could not break. Obviously, I would have never suspected Bitshares to go below 0.10$USD back then, and since I had never been interested by the margin trading, I never knew about the GS price. I thought this would not affect me much. Now I know. I didn't loose much, but then again I could not benefit from the plunge from .05 to 0.3, for which I was too well prepared.
Now looking at bitCNY, with a GS at 0.261429, I'm getting better to understand what could be the outcome of a black swan... CNY has been stragely holding at 0.261430... (Feed manipulation?) When it moved 0.264, where it stayed fixed for a bit, I panicked a bit seeing it plummet straight to 0.261430, 0.00001% away from GS... Hey, now its going back up... That was a good f*** up for me, but nothing to panick about.

Thanks again for your time!

Hello,

So... bitUSD/BTS is nearly 20% over feed price because nobody is willing to trade. At first, that was OK, waiting patiently for it to fall to a reasonable price to buy BTS or BTC again, but now I'm starting to realize that I'm probably screwed with bitUSD, for which I might not be able to get out without loosing quite a %...
I read everywhere that bitUSD needs to be revived and wait for the margin trading to open again. So I have the following questions:

-How/when will bitUSD be revived? What does it take? Just the trust of people who lost a lot because of the GS?
-If we are below the GS price, will it be revived only when the price goes back up above that same GS price or can the new GS price be lowered?
-Will it be revived only when the margin trading opens up again? What are the conditions for that?
-Will I get back my worth of bitUSD only when the price will go back above GS price? Am I understanding this right? Because if so and the price keeps falling, bitUSD holders are screwed, no?
-Also, what does it mean when a bitasset stops being pegged?

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,

I saw this post at the bottom of that thread. It should have been right up there as its own red flashing thread, no? This was a pretty important bug and everything got broken for a while. When I took notice of it and upgraded my node, the time that it took to finish re-reading the chain, several hours had past.
 
Anyways, the storm has pass and it seems all good now. All the witnesses are up again, which is a good thing. The activity on the DEX is quite low and I'm wondering why. Impossible that we've lost all these players just because of a 12h delay.

Having that said, the quick fix and the quick work around was impressive!
Good work all!

Cheers,

Why did I have to search for this? Why isn't it here on the forum?

There is an emergency release to fix a stuck chain.
All nodes must upgrade.

Hello,

How would you remove a witness from the testnet? I don't see any commands in the CLI to cancel, remove, or update a witness in order to cancel it.

Thanks,

This full node wss://relinked.com/ws is back on the main blockchain.
The testnet witness as moved to a new private server.
I still have to setup my failsafe script to automatically report and switch to my backup witness.
I still have to setup price feed broadcast.

Cheers,

Stupid question. Are all the witnesses also full nodes? Can you be one without the other?
I wanted a new full node in North-East America/Canada because I think things might be slow up here for us and I also want to be accepted as a witness, but I might have no chance at all becoming an active witness in the forseeable future.
Should I push for the full node worker proposal first and then the witness proposal, or are they both tied together? I guess if the trust is put into the witness, then you are automatically accepted as a full node... Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

Our testnet witness is ready to be voted in. Can you please give the witness "test-neoreel-1" some votes so we can further test this out?
Thank you!

Lol, I started creating a few more accounts like it was suggested in some post in order to vote myself in... When I got to 600,000TEST, I thought it would be enough... Oups, it is 600,000,000TEST required... Hmm... I'm not creating 1000 more accounts! :-)
