Hey there fellow witnesses and other blockbrothers followers !

We're here with a little update on something we are working on right now. (besides polishing and updating Steemify)

Announcing SteemTurbine

We are thrilled to announce an awesome tool for witnesses, which can monitor witness servers and seed nodes.

It will have a couple of key features:

It will be able to securely connect to several servers at once, and detect if they are either down or out-of-sync before the server will actually start missing blocks.
There will be several methods of failing over to back-up servers and/or temporarily disabling the witness server if there is no reliable back-up available.
As an added bonus to server administrators, the tool will be able to send notifications and warnings via Telegram!

Right now, we are testing this tool internally, smooth things out, but we will release it as Open Source via Utopian.io when we feel confident there are no major issues.
