Solana Down Again?
This is just a random rant post on how angry I am at Solana
Solana is one of the worst blockchains i have ever used and this is making me so sad, I usually don’t use Solana because I felt I had other options like Hive, XRP and BNB for blockchain low fee transactions. Just when I decided to be an active NFT flipper, and the particular NFT project is on the Solana blockchain, Solana decided to shut down unnecessarily. It’s been more than 3 hours since I made a transaction on the blockchain and the transaction has not been processed yet.
Remember when it was tagged the Ethereum killer? Because it was expected to be more scalable and less cheaper than Ethereum, well the only feature that can consider it an Ethereum killer is the low fees, aside that, Solana is one of the worst blockchain networks I have used. How can a supposedly decentralized blockchain keep going off and having downtime all the time? Is it truly decentralized when a team is at the backend waiting to pull the plug without no explanation whenever?. Few days ago, the blockchain time was 30 minutes behind the global time, another insignificant that is still a flaw.
For a blockchain that advertised to be on the high performance side, this is the lowest performance I have gotten from a blockchain, sadly this is the second time I am using Solana and on both times it had downtimes. Now I feel like that annoying customer that always want to see the manager, because I would like to meet the Solana’s manager, everything seems really centralized around here. I stopped using Ethereum because of its lack of adequate scalability. This is the second time a blockchain is shutting within a month, c’mon, that doesn’t seem to be a good reputation for the project.
This current shutdown was said to have been caused by too many transactions, excuse me, this blockchain is no way scalable then. This means that we have been deceived and the platform has been given a false advertisement making builders build on the blockchain thinking it was a blockchain with high scalability. How can they have 8 shut downs in a year and 2 shut downs in a month, having people like me getting their assets stuck on the blockchain when I have an NFT to buy, while writing this, the floor price of the NFT keeps increasing, I only hope that it doesn’t increase further and Solana sorts this issue to prevent things like this from happening Everytime.
Thank you so much for reading and listening to my rant about Solana I feel better now
