Another Day, Another Solana Outage | #EthereumKiller
Solana's instability is both laughable and suspicious.
I guess halting the chain is standard practice on Solana at this point
Literally 5 days ago, I wrote about something that concerns me greatly about the reliability of Solana. The chain is still running around 30 minutes behind and recording time on transactions that happen incorrectly. I thought by now they would have fixed the issue, but instead they just refer to this as a "feature" now. "Our chain doesn't follow wall-clock time. LOL
Today's complete halt of the Solana blockchain, where no new blocks were being produced for hours marks number 8 since the beginning of the year. In just 5 months the big bad Ethereum Killer has suffered 8 complete network outages and is still recording time incorrectly. How are applications and games supposed to successfully operate if the underlying blockchain can't even stay running?
Why is this absolute shit chain still in the top 10 market cap tokens? People are still obsessed with it, and venture capital is still pouring into this garbage. Horrendous design and lack of competence is a recipe for disaster, if you can't tell.
I just can't help but picture Solana as the Coyote that always gets fucked with by the roadrunner in that old cartoon. It's fast but can't seem to continue on the straight path because it keeps hitting walls. But why? This chain is supposed to be the most powerful blockchain combining database technology with blockchain tech.
The sad part is, Solana has the disadvantages of both blockchain and database tech, but the advantages of neither one. How long can venture capital billionaires keep this thing afloat? How many more outages will there be before people lose interested in even speculating on the price of SOL?
Look, this post is clearly just me making fun of Solana, and nothing more. If you support it and see it having an actual future other than price speculation, please change my mind. Drop a comment. Show me the way. I just can't get past the fact that this chain can't even keep track of the fucking time.
I couldn't help but share this incredible meme I made the other day again. It's so accurate that it makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time. Maybe they could have used these 6 hours or so of downtimes to uh... I dunno... FIX THE TIME TRACKING?! Maybe I'm just being ridiculous, but I don't really care. At this point, I want the chain to fail.
It's honestly laughable that they keep having these issues and doing nothing about them. What are the fixes? Where are the patches? I get that in the old days, you could just rip out the game cartridge, blow the dust out, and put it back in. That's not exactly how it works with blockchain. People don't like when you pause it and restart it. Just kinda looks shady.
If you're a die hard Solana supporter, I'm sorry but you should really re-evaluate what you're supporting. It's never going to be this infinitely scalable chain capable of being a database at the same time if it can't even stay running. It's fine though, they'll just tweet about it, validators will restart the chain, and the money will keep flowing in as always.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
Thanks for reading! Much love.

Ouch! That's not attractive. For a while I thought Solana was something good to check on but time has me forgetting about it. Perhaps the devs are on vacation :) I do hope they get to fix their chain issues.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The devs must have gone on vacation the minute the chain launched a year ago and never came back lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ayayay! No good huh! But it's fascinating that it seems to have a lot of support.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it's a lot of venture capital money, not actual users, but I could be wrong.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmmm, that's interesting. I wonder whether they'd keep supporting it the way it is going now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Maybe over-invested and can't afford for it to fail.
That might be true... just sad if the devs really abandoned the project.

Or maybe they are on vacation and the yacht wrecked and they got lost haha.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Maybe they took pills and are still on vacation, because the network continues to fail by leaps and bounds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's a waste if they left it for good. Too bad

Yes, I think that in view of this it is necessary to have a moon event to debug the system.
It's pretty ridiculous these layer 2 systems are proving to be total junk in terms of their reliability compared to their layer 1 counterparts. Polygon is almost just as bad
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The sad part is, Solana is supposed to be the best and most scalable layer 1 chain. But it can't even track the time. At least Polygon has the time thing down lol

it's like the bad TV shows that are on at 2 am, they make a lot of noise and bring guests but it's garbage and a cheap copy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It makes me wonder what the VCs are thinking when Solana keeps under-delivering. Is it because they sunk so much money down already that they need it to succeed?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is how I see it. Over-invested to the point it has to succeed.
Well, exactly the same thing happened with luna, the chain fell and made many people lose money, but now it seems that everyone has forgotten what happened and the price continues to speculate and grow.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
When fork and Solana Classic airdrop? lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A blockchain that can't keep track of time, 😂 that's a red flag right there.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I just don't see how people don't see this as a major problem.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly. Most people don't really look deep into the projects. They just put their money where the hype is and hope it booms.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
A lot of it is tribalism.
They justify it by saying that SOL already has more users and greater transactional capacity (as if that metric really matters, just look at BTC's tx/s) than most other projects.
The fans regularly diss on other smart contract platforms like ADA, AVAX, etc.
I don't care how fast the chain is, it can't keep track of time. lol. It could be great but it needs some serious work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol yeah. Tell that to the fanboys.
I love doing that lol
