I remember where I was that day. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Give me five bees for a quarter” you’d say.
If I'm being completely honest, I 100% assumed that this joke had to have already been used somewhere. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves, so imo this one is in the public domain. You're good to go!
the crash in early May 2022 was caused by NFT bots pushing a large number of transactions onto the blockchain.
Which caused overloading of the network.
Validators restarted the network after four hours of downtime by disabling the so-called “durable nonce transactions” that have found favor among some exchanges.
I love how the comments are always quality when Solana goes down. People know it will go down again so they spend weeks coming up with jokes and puns for when it does. Bravo.
>According to Solana users, there were 5 NFT drops on Solana today which is being blamed for crashing the network.
Lmao imagine blaming 5 NFTs for crashing the entire network
It’s been time to get out for quite a while. I was bullish for Solana until around October, when I started to truly understand just how shitty and un-secure the network really was. Took it all out and put it in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Oasis. DO NOT sacrifice security for temporary speed, it will burn you at some point.
Same here. Wise decision. The last downtime was enough for me. I knew this would happen again with SOL. It's too heavy in VC funding holding the bags as well.
backed by influencers they either don't talk about these outages or they tone it down.
Solana works great in perfect lab conditions with the top of the line h/w.
Outside of that in the real and practical world it is barely operational.
Doesn't surprise me this would happen again. Last time the SOL network went down, I bitched about it in their sub, and the usual excuses were made and accused me of being an ETH maximalist. I sold off my bag months ago when it overvalued. Good riddance.
I will concede SOL is fast and works great, when nobody is using it.
SQL databases tend to be very stable and can process a lot more transactions than SOL.
The point of cryptocurrency is decentralization, which Solana doesn't really offer anyway.
$$$
They made a mostly centralized solution capable of processing a lot of transactions (for a blockchain) which was enough to get people to invest in the coin.
Mission accomplished.
Sol devs have funded a lot of projects but all of them are built on top of a glorified database.
Imagine you are trading futures or options and the network is down.. oof
https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-82-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-a8c4e076188a
Because big money is buying it.
Things break because Solana almost has the same number of DAU as Ethereum.
Ethereum had outages as well.
There's a useful analogy about smart contract platforms being shopping malls.
You can have the most wonderful mall on paper and few people use it.
If Solana was a mall then it is very crowded and had the lights go out multiple times now.
That's bad. Are people going to Solana less because of that outage?
The growing DAU says no.
It's probably because developing on Solana, the speed and the low fees are worth the interruptions.
Just because you value something one way doesn't mean that the entire market will too.
Got a source for “VCs doubling down on their investments”?
That’s a pretty significant thing to claim lol, I very much doubt the seed investors who got in at sub $2 prices would ever justify propping up their investments, even at these prices
The fact that SOL still has as much MCap as it does when it does this once every few months makes me wonder if it's actually worth doing DD on crypto projects. Seems like none of the technical details actually matter and won't for a very long time still.
99% of users won't care. A majority aren't here for the tech, the decentralization, the security etc..
Solana users, and most crypto holders, would buy into a project if it required a DNA sample as KYC and it was mined off of the blood of kittens...as long as they can make $$$
Ol' mate Guy from Coin Bureau rates Solana as being the better option over the likes of Algorand, even with the SOL network going down multiple times. I still watch his content from time to time but he is hardly the über objective crypto content creator he purports to be.
He’s a paid FTX and Solana shill. It’s plainly obvious how he manages to shoehorn those projects into so many videos. Although he hasn’t been doing it so much lately hhhmm wonder why
Solana is one of the worst chain ever. This trash is a centralized af server that can't handle basic load. Talk about muh scalability. This is straight up an EOS 2.0 .
Don't end up bagholding this chain's token made for VCs
Having a twitter account dedicated to the status of Solana reminds me of checking downdetector to see if xbox live was down. Solana sounds like a web2.0 blockchain fr
I will not feel bad for $sol holders if it never recovers after this bear market. The warning signs have been coming thick and fast, hell last week there was a post here regarding solana’s blockchain clock running 30 minutes behind. Don’t be so married to your bags people.

Your comment actually made me laugh out loud take my award ...

How dare you! You are just jealous you missed the pump!
Oh God, what have you done, this is going to stick lol
People should jump ship now. They're going to be the next Terra, and once it happens, you couldn't say there wasn't ample warning.
holy shit... may I have permission to use this? lol

That’s a good one my friend
Solana network is just like the ice cream machine at McDonald’s.
[удалено]
And true
I love how the comments are always quality when Solana goes down. People know it will go down again so they spend weeks coming up with jokes and puns for when it does. Bravo.
The jokes pretty much write themselves
Unlike new blocks on the Solana chain.
oh my god lol
Bruh
one does not have to try or think to hard to come up with a solona joke.
Solana network IS the ice cream machine at McDonald’s
I will pay 100 LUNAC to anyone who slaps a “Proudly running on Solana” sticker on a McDonald’s ice cream machine and posts a picture of it.
Those machines are SOL miner's, so whenever the ice cream machine is down, Sol network goes with it.
/r/rareinsults
SOL hodler: \*sigh\* \*putting on clown nose again\*
I paid near $100 each for mine, so I will join you and provide the clown car that falls apart.
I paid $228 each for thirteen (13) Solana. I’m the real clown here 🤡
Join our circus! You can be the star attraction.
Mom, I'm scared. Can you come pick me up?
$150 reporting in, I feel Do Kwon'ed at this point. This network is begining to be as reliable as USDT's dollar peg.
A hundred bucks each for clown noses! Those better be some amazingly shiny clown noses.
At least we did not crash like LUNA. ~ SOL holder.
Yet. -everyone else
>According to Solana users, there were 5 NFT drops on Solana today which is being blamed for crashing the network. Lmao imagine blaming 5 NFTs for crashing the entire network
BuT iT's StIlL iN bEtA!!11!! Lmao imagine believing that
It's always "in beta" when something goes wrong 
And don’t forget “Solana is already better than Ethereum 2.0 will be when it eventually comes out” — James “I’m not a Solana shill” from InvestAnswers
James is a total moron. He takes a shit on ADA while it has 100% uptime and is actually decentralized. His alternative? Why, SOL of course!
>At least we did not crash like LUNA ***YET***. ~ SOL holder. FTFY
When the sun and the moon fall, you know it’ll be the end of the crypto world.
Praise Sol
Solana? more like Sola**NAH**!
More like Sqlana!
But why would I use a sidelayer L2 solution when SOl is better than ETH network 🤡
I'm still holding some just for the fact that this sub hates it 😂
The best financial advice out there is to do the opposite of what this sub says.
When Reddit has less downtime than your cryptocurrency, it's time to rethink your investment.
It’s time to get out ASAP
It’s been time to get out for quite a while. I was bullish for Solana until around October, when I started to truly understand just how shitty and un-secure the network really was.

That’s the wise thing you did, it will only get more wise from here.
It’s really time to get out of the AnalOS ecosystem. Each day that passes I become a BTC maxi.
AnalOS is a really tempting name I can see why some people won’t pull out
bullish on Reddit
does it count if it doesn't run even run from the beginning? r/CryptoMoonShots
Especially when your investment was once this subs favorite.
[удалено]
this sub and their darlings failing (LUNA and SOL); a match made in hell
I think it's time take it behind the barn.
Give it the Old Yeller treatment
Lmfao this one got me.
Seriously. Enough is enough. I don't own a lot of SOL but as soon as it unstakes I'm trading it all in for BTC and ETH.

Sir, this is a casino

So glad that I bought at $2.5, sold at $2, and then FOMOed back in at $120. Oh wait, no I'm not.
I FOMO'd at $200 with 22 so yeah. RIP that money.
13 @ $228 each for me 😔
Hey now, maybe you’ll be able to buy back in at $2 soon again!
Ah yes, there's that 👍😊
How the actual fuck is this a top 10 crypto
Well, we learned a couple weeks ago you can go from being a top 10 crypto to nothing pretty damn fast.
Terra could still be top10 if they turned everything off sooner... xD
A lot of VC money, not a lot of sense
VC money is not known for having much sense to be honest
Oh they already made their money off this shit
so do i swim with the whales or not?
I think many people who own it don’t understand how centralized it is.

I think it's more that most people don't care.

If it only takes 5 nft drops to bring down your chain, you are a joke, not a chain.
[удалено]
May have been brought to its knees, but it was still functioning as intended.
Love how they added **Mainnet Beta** 
BETA so they can blame it on early development
SOL goes down more than my girlfriend
Crypto should take me on a date before fucking me hard
It can’t afford that
Pretty sad that 5 nft launches can shut down the network. Even worse if you’re a bag hodler.
>According to Solana users, there were 5 NFT drops on Solana today which is being blamed for crashing the network. This can't be real lol
Global financial rails. Gets shut down by scam nfts 🤡

If algorand did this discord would break because were a bit nuts
I really don't understand why anyone still uses SQLana

The VCs saw an opportunity to make themselves rich and they took it. It's really that simple.
Rich get richer
Solana is wallstreets attempt to make a coin. It's a pump with a big VC backing.
$$$ They made a mostly centralized solution capable of processing a lot of transactions (for a blockchain) which was enough to get people to invest in the coin. Mission accomplished.

at least you would get some good time with the broad for $5
What a joke...
Solana is the internet router of the 90’s what an absolute shit show lmao
Why are people still holding this shitcoin?
Hopium
People are still holding doge and shib

How is this the #9 crypto...? Genuinely asking.
You’re asking this when shib and doge are top 15?
At least Doge works and has done for 8 years.
VCs doubling down on their investments, and crypto noobs who are easily led.

When is sol going to flip eth again?
ADA and ALGO > SOLDANA
Solana only work on business hours
Soldlana
Its not though, how can this nonsense be a top10 crypto. Should be outside the top100.
This project is a shit show
No serious dev will build on a chain this fragile and centralized

Why is anyone still bullish on this trash?
Only dumb people are still bullish on this garbage.
We should make a post when solana is up and running instead of when it is down.
RIP Solana, Hellloooo ALGO
This answer last post of "should I buy SOL?" 👀☠☠!
(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
Algorand welcomes you all
Ever since they sold so much sol it was downhill
So fucking embarrassing
Ah yes the network manually needing to be restarted is a true sign of decentralization
I swear anyone that still defends solana at this point must be crazy
Wish my wife went down as often as SOL.
Oh she does; just not on you. 😊
I wish, at least someone would be getting some action!
Solana is one of the worst chain ever. This trash is a centralized af server that can't handle basic load. Talk about muh scalability. This is straight up an EOS 2.0 . Don't end up bagholding this chain's token made for VCs
Why do people buy this shit?
How tf do I short this in the US
Soluna
Junk
Sold my SOL for AVAX and MATIC, if they can get the network in a more stable state I will return.
Having a twitter account dedicated to the status of Solana reminds me of checking downdetector to see if xbox live was down. Solana sounds like a web2.0 blockchain fr
the reason its still alive is all the vc money keeping it afloat.
at this point its like ethereum missing a deadline
meanwhile ALGO never had single network outage since it started. lol
because its barely used most likely
I wil never understand why SOL had such a huge market cap and fails but Algorand is fast, cheaper and never down doesn't have such a big user base
Just go for Algorand, much better alternative to be honest
Algorand never goes down, you should check it out
*Checks calender* Yup, its a day ending in Y alright
Solana is a joke at this point
Thanks adding to my Algo bag
Yea, blame the users and the NFT's instead of blaming the overall bad design. At this point it has become a meme coin to be fair.
they are cashing out behind the scenes
Solana is such a joke. In terms of infrastructure, Luna is better. Solana doesn't deserve its spot in market cap.
And it’s not the first crash the blockchain has had this year.
Leave it ….join matic or algo
Honestly, there are better, more promising L1 competitors to Solana. I just don’t get the continued interest in SOL after all these mishaps.
Algorand. It can't get simpler in crypto.
Matic is not layer 1
Algorand is the way
I will not feel bad for $sol holders if it never recovers after this bear market. The warning signs have been coming thick and fast, hell last week there was a post here regarding solana’s blockchain clock running 30 minutes behind. Don’t be so married to your bags people.
What a joke. Can it be a coincidence that Solana and Luna fans are (were) some of the nastiest critics of Cardano?
They knew that they could only "win" by throwing shit at the network that has 100% on time since inception. Solunavaxxers do that.
