Steem Engine added Virtual Transactions, which would crash meeseeker.  In most setups, this just requires meeseeker to restart, which causes it to pick up where it left off, so the impact was minimal.

This version addresses the crash and also processes these new types of transactions.

## What Changed ...

I'll go over each commit that affects meeseeker version 0.0.8.

### Fix for Genesis Transaction [e75aba8](https://github.com/inertia186/meeseeker/commit/e75aba8b96737c0c21eff65bdb307d5c6cde95c4)

The genesis block contains genesis transactions, which have a different format.

### Selective Docker Build [1f83aa4](https://github.com/inertia186/meeseeker/commit/1f83aa40ea30657a6bea7ce0fb29cf643359d48f)

Added a whitelist of files to look for while building the docker image.

### Steem Engine Agent Reset for Rate Limiting Conditions [834da7d](https://github.com/inertia186/meeseeker/commit/834da7d9de61a6ff11de1a9e87547f056f311341)
 
When streaming blocks from the sidechain, occasionally the node will respond with rate-limiting response codes that eventually requires Mechanize to shutdown in order to completely clear.  This is now done automatically, otherwise, resource locks will build over time.

### Handle Steem Engine Virtual Transactions [682a71a](https://github.com/inertia186/meeseeker/commit/682a71ad3c34694019c095036d6650871d0ab96b)

This is the main fix for this version that adds support for `virtualTransactions`.  Just like before, this will launch meeseeker in a docker container, so you can immediately attach to it on port 6380.

```bash
docker run -d -p 6380:6379 inertia/meeseeker:latest
redis-cli -p 6380
```

To update your gem:
