Cold Reception? Crypto Critics Ignite After EOS Blockchain 'Freeze

You may have missed it, but over the weekend, transactions on the live EOS blockchain came to a complete – yet temporary – halt.

Coming less than 48 hours after the much-anticipated blockchain network went live, the announcement kicked off a social firestorm (not to mention a reported 5 percent drop in the value of the network's cryptocurrency).

Something tells me @ned is enjoying some schadenfreude at @dantheman's expense over the launch and amount of bugs with EOS. Block.one's launch of their highly anticipated EOS has been anything but smooth.

Good relationships are not built on lack of conflict, but on how well you resolve conflict. Let's see how initial problems are tackled.

Compare the launch to the #TRX Tron Main Net. Not a peep on that side. Everything purring and running as smooth as can be.
