Backup witness server on-line!

Witness

Today we installed our back-up witness server. It actually is going to become our main server, because we made some configuration tweaks after lessons learnt from installing our first witness server. The other one will then be reconfigured and then serve as our primary backup.

This server is also a dedicated server, hosted by @privex. They offer a great service, so we can highly recommend them.

We've made some changes to the size of the memory available to steemd. As the size of the blockchain is ever increasing, this should give us some margin for the time being. There's also a script in the making that will make monitoring and re-deploying this configuration to a new server a breeze. We'll make this open-source, when thoroughly tested, for everybody to use.

Steemify

We've also made some changes to our Steemify server. This was needed, because the blockchain data was lagging too much. We saw delays of over 10 minutes, which is unacceptable for the service. We should now be back in the 1-2 minute range.

We'd also like to thank you all for your feedback and support! We cannot do this without you!
