Over the past year or so, I’ve seen countless Solana maxis dunking on people who claim the chain has halting issues. They usually use a belittling tone.
Yet here I am this morning, unable to make any Solana transactions, because the chain went down… again.
Considering the huge investment required to be a Solana validator (around USD 15k for the hardware only and, if I correctly remember, 10k staked SOL), and the centralized points of failure that affect that project, it simply cannot be named "blockchain".
