RE: Steemit.com times out? Edit: It's back!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I’m using the eSteem app and can interact with the STEEM blockchain so that shows the decentralised strength of STEEM.
Could be another DDoS attack?

Something not working mainly shows that something is not working.

That’s true but there is always a reason or reasons. From what I have read there have been a number of DDoS attacks against Steemit.com in recent months and also growing pains of the increased user numbers could be a reason.
My point was mainly that being a decentralised blockchain based social network STEEM is resilient to these interruptions as it can be viewed and interacted with via multiple entry points @esteemapp, @busy.org, chainBB, @zappl etc
