📣 Upcoming Maintenance On Buzztouch.com

Buzztouch.com will have an upcoming maintenance window on Sunday, October 22nd. During this time the Control Panel will be unavailable. Apps, Configuration Data and APIs will remain functional during the entire duration of the maintenance. Approximate downtime will be 5 hours as we migrate the database. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience during this maintenance period. We will work diligently to minimize the downtime and ensure a smooth transition. The maintenance is expected to last from 12:00AM UTC to 5:00AM UTC. Here are the times in a few local zones: PDT: 5:00PM – 10:00PM (October 21st) CDT: 7:00PM – 12:00AM (October 21st) EST: 8:00PM – 1:00AM (October 21st) ### Technical Background ### Buzztouch is moving hosting locations. Currently, we're running on Rackspace and we're now moving to Digital Ocean (this is being done primarily to optimize costs and improve server performance as part of an ongoing server modernization process). The backend is also being updated to PHP 8.0 and MYSQL 8. ### Additional Notes ### Buzztouch is now proxied through Cloudflare. This should help the site load just a tad bit quicker. ### FAQs ### > My app relies on data hosted on Buzztouch.com, will it load during this time? Yes, all data and media will still be served from Buzztouch.com for the duration of the maintenance. > What change will I see on Buzztouch.com? Unfortunately, this change is almost entirely behind-the-scenes affecting the infrastructure running Buzztouch. While we've tested the platform with these tech upgrades for several months, with so many upgrades we've probably introduced some bugs. > Will there be an increase in pricing? No. If anything, I'd like to pass the savings we're making from the new hosting directly on to you, as users– but this isn't possible at the moment as that's a whole other payment system that also needs an upgrade (not related to this one!). > Will these updates be released for Self Hosted panels? Yes! Several people are already running the beta on their Self Hosted instances, giving us confidence to upgrade Buzztouch.com. The update to the Self Hosted control panels will be released independently of this upgrade. If you have any other questions, please feel free to comment. :)

We're about an hour out from the migration beginning. Please save any changes you may be making in your Control Panels. I will update this thread when the migration begins, as well as on completion. As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] if there are any concerns. Thanks!!

Buzztouch maintenance has begun. During this time the Control Panel will be inaccessible. Apps, Configuration Data, APIs and Self Hosted builds will continue to operate as-normal.

The server migration is complete! We're monitoring the new hardware and will continue to do so as we move traffic over to it. There are a couple of issues specifically related to the database that may cause saving certain items to fail (or a white page to appear with an error). We're working through these issues– if you notice any in particular, please leave a note.

Hi Cakebit, If I try to delete a screen from the manage screen page, I get a white screen and nothing happens.

Hi Gledy! Thanks for the note. Apologies for the problem... I just pushed a fix to resolve this issue. (Behind the scenes we were calling a function that was removed in the latest PHP version, so now it's updated with a PHP 8.0 compatible replacement) :)

Hi Gledy! I just pushed a fix that should patch this issue for the Custom HTML / Text plugin. Doing a quick search it looks like this issue may affect other plugins so I'll do an audit shortly to fix the others. (Let me know if you encounter any similar errors though!) Thanks

Hi Cakebit, Thanks yes that's fixed it, but in turn my html checklist code doesn't want to work inside the plugin anymore, but that's a different issue altogether. Works fine in html pro so I'll just change over the plugins for it.

Smart Contract Escrow Services for Mirror Trades In the fast-evolving world of decentralized finance and blockchain technology, mirror trading has emerged as a powerful method for novice investors to mimic the trades of experienced traders. As this trading strategy grows in popularity particularly in cryptocurrency markets the need for trustless and transparent solutions becomes more critical. Smart contract escrow services are revolutionizing the way mirror trades are executed and settled offering unprecedented levels of automation security and fairness to all involved parties. Mirror trading traditionally involves one party replicating the trades of another usually through a centralized platform. While effective this model comes with notable risks such as platform manipulation lack of transparency and fund mismanagement. Enter smart contracts self-executing agreements coded on the blockchain that automatically enforce the terms of a deal. When applied to escrow services these smart contracts eliminate the need for intermediaries and significantly reduce counterparty risk. The core function of a smart contract escrow in a mirror trading scenario is to hold funds securely during the trade and release them only when predefined conditions are met. For example an investor might commit a certain amount of cryptocurrency to a trade by locking it into a smart contract. The smart contract will then monitor the trading performance of the professional trader whose actions are being mirrored. If the professional trader’s strategy yields the expected results and other contract conditions are satisfied the smart contract releases the funds to the appropriate parties. If conditions are not met or if the trade fails the funds are returned to the original investor automatically without the need for third-party arbitration. One major advantage of using smart contracts in this context is the transparency they provide. Every action taken within the smart contract can be audited on the blockchain in real time. This transparency ensures that both investors and traders can verify each step of the transaction process building trust and accountability into the system. Moreover since smart contracts are immutable once deployed their terms cannot be altered which guarantees fairness and consistency. Security is another significant benefit. Traditional escrow services may be vulnerable to human error or malicious intent. With smart contracts there is no central authority that can mismanage or withhold funds. The use of well-audited smart contracts significantly reduces the likelihood of fraud or loss. Additionally these contracts can be programmed to include dispute resolution mechanisms such as decentralized arbitration if needed. Smart contract escrow systems also enable scalability for mirror trading platforms. As user adoption increases the automated nature of smart contracts allows for efficient handling of large volumes of transactions without compromising on speed or reliability. This is particularly important in volatile markets where the timing of trade execution can significantly impact profitability. As blockchain technology continues to mature more sophisticated smart contract frameworks are being developed to support complex trading strategies including mirror trades. The integration of oracles for real-time data feeds multi-signature wallets for added security and decentralized identity verification tools are enhancing the robustness of these escrow services. This ongoing innovation is paving the way for a new era of decentralized trading where trust is built into the system by design. By enabling secure transparent and automated escrow services smart contracts are playing a pivotal role in transforming mirror trading from a risky proposition into a reliable and efficient strategy for crypto investors of all experience levels.
