Well. It happened. I got my first block .. and I missed it.
I paniced a bit when I saw the notification from GINA but took a look at the error-message - and what I saw there, was:
Not producing block for therealwolf because I don't have the private key for STM7X8F1hrSiRcHFaSh71Y8jP73nCCURJhhP3J6F7e6soMJEsSu8M
Which simply means that there wasn't an active key for my public key to handle the signing of the block.
After I dug deep into my memory, I realised that I copy-pasted the code (with my old public key) to update my witness after I reinstalled it on my server (had it on root before, but that's no bueno for security):
update_witness "therealwolf" "https://steemit.com/witness/@therealwolf/making-steem-greater-therealwolf-is-now-a-witness" "STM..." {"account_creation_fee":"0.100 STEEM","maximum_block_size":65536,"sbd_interest_rate":0} true
But I also generated a new key_pair (public and private-key)
Which means:
I had a new private key, but an old public key...
I had pretty much the reaction above.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for such a stupid mistake, but it simply shows me how important it is to always focus on what I'm doing.
From now on, I'll tripple check if everything is alright.
But it is important for me to give an honest update - even if there isn't a happy message with it.
