I think it comes to what the market can bear. Which for us yes that the best we can do. Blockchain development has a lot of young and unproven talent pools in it. It’s not like they can just plop down $10 million a year per person and scoop up what is available out there. A quarter of a million might get you some former Microsoft layoffs. Otherwise you are out sourcing to cheaper labor markets.

I do wonder what the actual financial impact an hour of down time has. While it might not be a crazy amount for now. For this place to take off these kinds of downtimes just can’t happen. With that would require a lot more redundancy and investment into quickly getting things back up and running.

I think communication could have been handle better. The “we are looking into it” on Twitter with no follow up a few hours later was frustrating. With most people turning to directly to witness for getting anything further than that during the event.
