Running v0.17.0 now for just over a week with no issues, also upgraded my ram. I haven't been lucky getting a block for over two months now, and still blacked out on steemd.com showing i haven't got one yet. I won't be playing the lottery at all with this current luck, but will hang in there as a long term witness and stakeholder.
