The IOTA network couldn't process transactions for more than 15 hours after a software bug caused a "Corrupt ledger state." While IOTA's developers managed to resolve the issue, the company's response to the issue made it front-page news on the comedy section in the CryptoCurrency subreddit.
IOTA team resolves a minor bug that left the network unable to process transactions.
He called for IOTA users to "Display some gratitude" as IOTA developers have dropped "Everything" to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
IOTA developer Gal Rogozinski released a mainnet upgrade that resolved the issue that handicapped the network.
According to his GitHub post, the IOTA Reference Implementation node failed to account for transactions shared between two bundles.
The news about IOTA being down for more than 15 hours spread like wildfire through the crypto community.
It wasn't the bug itself that led many to criticize the network, but the way the IOTA team handled the issue.
These reactions earned IOTA a place in the comedy section in the CryptoCurrency subreddit.
The reactions to the post were mixed, to say the least, with half of the Reddit community ridiculing IOTA for handling the issue poorly, while the other half defended the team and called for the topic to be removed from the "Comedy" section.
Some have even pointed out that the downtime the network saw showed that IOTA can't compete with Bitcoin or Ethereum, both of which have had a "100% uptime" since their inception.
