THE BIG INTERVIEW SOLANA OUTAGES EXPLAINED

SOLANA OUTAGES EXPLAINED BY ITS CEO ANATOLY YAKOVENKO

The Solana blockchain once again suffered an outage this week… It’s the umpteenth time.

They seem to happen with such regularity – that Planet Crypto spoke to Anatoly Yakovenko for an explanation.

PLANET CRYPTO: Mr Yakovenko, thank you for speaking to us.

ANATOLY YAKOVENKO: It’s my pleas.

PLANET CRYPTO: Solana is always having outages. When are they going to stop?

AY: Probably this afternoon…

This evening. ..

And three times a day, every day this week.

PC: What??

AY: Well, it’s a long time since we last had an outage. In fact the last time we had an outage, was.

PC: …?

AY: …

PC: ‘Was?’

AY: Hm?

PC: You said ‘the last time you had an outage was.’

AY: Oh sorry did I cut out?

PC: Yes.

AY: I said, ‘the last time we had an outage, was.‘

PC: …

AY: ….

PC: You cut out, again??

AY: Oh, did I? That’s really unfort.

PC: Hm.

AY: I said it was ages since our last outage: at least three hours.

PC: Three hours??

AY: That’s a whole 10,800 seconds in which our blockchain was fully functioning. That’s a massive 10,800,000,000,000 nanoseconds. Loads. But you don’t talk about that, do you?

PC: OK… So what WOULD you say to critics who say you don’t know what you’re doing?

AY: I would say: ‘you can go and…. Yourselves.’

PC: Sorry – I didn’t catch that. They should go and ‘what’ themselves ?

AY: They should go and ‘…’ themselves.

PC: I still didn’t catch that. You seem to keep cutting out at the crucial moment.

AY: (Sarcastic) Ha ha ha. Very funny. You can go and ….Yourself, too.

PC: You’re cutting out again.

AY: Am I? …Hm. I think I’d better close down this conversation for at least two hours, while I work out what the problem is.

PC: See you later, alligator.

AY: In a while, croco.
