Every day so many witnesses are not online, what is the reason?

Running backup nodes with alternative signing keys (update_witness) is a good start. As far as I've tested you can kill/update/resync a node and another will start signing instantly without loosing a single block.

Witnesses could also use spartako_bot on Telegram to monitor their witness.

 
There are 7 witnesses that are using the bot and nobody is missing blocks now...

You mean of those 7 right? I can confirm that doesn't apply to me.

Sure, there are 5 witnesses are missing blocks now and they are not using the bot

It seems we both are stuck on the same block.

Cooooool .. can I take a look at the code? If you write it in python .. we may even integrate a wallet then .. (thinking about the private channel encryption seed etc...)

It is written in nodejs give me some time and I publish it on github.
I've written it this morning so it not so clean the code...

That makes it even easier to implement a whole fu*** wallet into telegram .. awesome!!

Here's the code:
https://github.com/spartako82/graphene-telegram-bot/blob/master/bin/main.js

It depends on my library (I will add to npm tomorrow):
https://github.com/spartako82/node-graphene

Really interesting having a fu**ll wallet into telegram! 

bitshares-argentina  can you please let me know if you have changed your software in any way because it appears your node is consistently producing blocks even though you are not in the set of active witnesses.

Everyone else, please update your witness to the latest master before block 58500  (about 4 hours).

spartako updated to the lastest master

I created a bot in telegram for monitoring witnesses and other commands:
@spartako_bot

It is already in the bitshares group so if you send commands it works.
I suggest for witnesses open a private chat with @spartako_bot and give the command:
/monitor <YOUR_WITNESS>
so in this way the bot don't spam in the group chat when your witness miss blocks.

/help command:
Commands:
/help
/price [ASSET]
/missed WITNESS
/monitor WITNESS
/stopmonitor WITNESS
/listmonitor

My witness started to missing blocks and give this errors....resyncing
