When Blockchains Go Down: Why Crypto Outages Are on the Rise

joyprokash12 (25)in #bitcoin • 6 years ago

Berniesanders (not to be confused with former presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders) is an institution on blockchain-based blogging platform Steemit.

Steemit allows content creators to earn crypto – at least, crypto that's native to the Steem blockchain, of which there are three – for popular posts. While recent successes include waffle recipes, romantic fiction and crypto punditry, berniesanders gets a pretty steady paycheck (about $30 at a time) for his single sentence, self-described "shit posts."

A recent sampling: "Are you having fun? I'm having fun." ($60), "I'm on a boat!" ($31), "Show me your shoes." ($30) and "How many comments can a shit post get?" ($263 and 319 comments).

But for a few hours on September 17, the Steemit community was deprived of berniesanders' wisdom.

On that day, Steemit became unavailable when Steem suffered an outage and stopped adding new blocks. The blockchain and the apps on top of it had gone dark.

Steem's outage, the company explained, was related to an upcoming hard fork update. The code for the fork was being run by some nodes in advance, and as such, these nodes split off onto an incompatible chain when certain safeguards failed. The nodes accidentally hard forked the network early, and as a result, the nodes couldn't come to consensus on new blocks.

"The blockchain was the piece that was halted in this case," Ned Scott, the founder and CEO of Steemit, told CoinDesk. "But it caused a ripple effect, a domino effect on all the apps built on top."

For the Steem blockchain, that's 400 applications, according to Scott.

And several of those applications likely had confused, worried and sometimes angry users wondering why they couldn't interact with their favorite blockchain-based tools. Case in point, once the Steemit network began functioning normally again, berniesanders returned with a post tagged "testingshitsteem," "amateurshitdevs" and "deadchain."

That's perhaps a bit harsh.

Sure enough, other users weren't quite so critical. A Steemit user going by "alphasteem" (she of the waffle recipes) said:

"I guess that's the way things work with new technology."

The only problem is, that's not how things are supposed to work with this particular piece of new technology. One of the most frequently cited advantages of blockchain networks is that they suffer zero downtime – or close to it.

For example, there's a website dedicated to tracking bitcoin's uptime since its launch in January 2009: 99.992559576 percent, at the time of writing. And the Ethereum Foundation describes the network's applications as running "exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference."

In recent months, though, major blockchain networks have seen downtime, and the trend has some people wondering, WTF?
