There's been a few issues surfacing recently, such as:
- occasional very long (2min+) GBT request processing, likely leading to recent worker statistic glitch;
- sendmany call glitch claiming there's not enough coins on account, while sendtoaddress worked OK;
- general wallet slowdowns caused by heady disk load.
Therefore, an extended maintenance was scheduled, to address the following:
- hardware checkup;
- dedicated SSD space for the database and blockchain, hopefully relieving the i/o load;
- software updates, including webserver and memcached;
- usual upstream patch series.
Estimated downtime: around 2h.
The exact time will be announced on Aug 31st.
Thank you for staying with us and tolerating our horrible service :3
