Blurt Witness Nodes Auto Switcher

When I woke up this morning, DINO told me that my witness server is missing blocks like crazy.

So I have to restart my witness server and finally got the issue resolve.

I was thinking to write a program to switch my witness node to my backup one in case of failure, but thanks to @justyy I don't need to write the program. He has an open source witness nodes switcher program that is ready to use.

He created the witness nodes switcher program for STEEM, so I have to make little modifications to it in order to be used for BLURT.

Here is the program I modified: https://github.com/ericet/BlurtWitnessAutoSwitch

If you have a backup witness server running, all you need is change the config.json file.

{
    "account": "Your Blurt Witness Account",
    "key": "Your Active Key",
    "signing_keys": [
        "Witness Public Signing Key 1", //Make sure this is your public witness key, not the private one
        "Witness Public Signing Key 2", //Make sure this is your public witness key, not the private one
        "BLT1111111111111111111111111111111114T1Anm"
    ],
    "url": "https://blurt.world/@yourBlurtId", //Your witness url
    "fee": "5.000 BLURT", //Account creation fee
    "interval": 60, //running interval. e.g: every 60 seconds
    "period": 360,
    "threshold": 4, // missing number of blocks in a interval. In this case, missing 4 blocks in 60 seconds. If you have a ranking lower than 20, change the threshold lower.
    "rpc_nodes": ["https://blurtd.privex.io"] 
}

Just a side note, the signing_keys in the config.json needs witness public key, make sure you don't mistakenly enter your private witness key.

threshold means number of missing blocks in a interval. So if you have a witness ranking less than 20, lower the threshold or increase the interval value.
