I don't really recall a lot of Steemians on twitter during the down time. It seemed like very few people were talking about it in the first 24 hours in twitter. Felt almost like a regular website not a blockchain

Having our fund inaccessible even after the blockchain was up is unacceptable. 3 years and a half and Steem is still dependant on a single entity. That's just proof Steem is still not ready to onboard the masses, that's not the fault of the engineers. It's really the fault of the founder and CEO @ned
