ShoutOut To Steemit Inc. And All The Witnesses For Patching Up The BlockChain!!!!
Tough times create tough people!!!!
Last night we had a pretty scary situation unfold. The entire blockchain halted. Just like that not a single transaction could be performed. Every time the page was refreshed the dreaded 504 messaged appeared across the screen. Nothing was working including Steemd. This was probably the scariest thing I have experienced here.
To be honest I had a lot of faith that Steemit Inc. would come through with a solution but the unknown was still scary. I stayed up all night until a fix was implemented. Not a single discord server dedicated to the Steem Community was inactive. People were coming out of the woodworks all trying to find out what was going on. It was as if police sirens were going off and everyone was pulled by the lights trying to see what happened.
Blockchains are designed to run forever. Once the Genesis Block is produced theoretically it should run forever. Some Blockchains need improvements in order to continue forward and grow or should I say say all Blockchains. Which is why an inactive Github raises eyebrows. One thing that all blockchains try to prevent is double spending. If the technology is good than this is something that is virtually impossible to achieve. In the case of Steem there were measures in place to ensure something like this never happens. But if something were to fall into the cracks than the entire blockchain would freeze. I'm not the most tech savy but in a nutshell that's what happened yesterday.
We should all be pretty happy and ecstatic this this situation was handled so quickly. We have seen tons of coins die once a bug hit the blockchain. But Steem is no ordinary coin. In my opinion it is THE most undervalued coin in existence. I'm not giving out investment advice but if that's how you wanna take it than go buy a shitload of Steem!!!!!
I am very happy here in the Steem community and I plan on being around for as long as this blockchain exsists!!!!!

Yes! Way to go Steem development & witnesses!! Steem on indeed! 🙌❤😊
Steem becoming more and more a big deal now...... Thanks for their work it's a worthwhile sacrifice indeed we are in it to stay up together.
It certainly seemed too weird not to have access to Steem I was worried thinking it was my internet that was probably slower than usual and today I see this news! Good thing they sorted things out in time
