For those following along in Discord & Twitter regarding the Solana restart, please be patient. There is sausage being made right now. Nothing is final except that we don’t want to restart into a 100 Gb/s flood of bot traffic. Shut down your bots so we can restart! #solana

The @OREsupply minimum Priority Fee is moving up quickly. 100K microLamports is the bare minimum now, and you'll miss some TXs. You'll need more than 100K PFs to land every TX.

… and last night I saw a TX confirmed in 290ms! I didn’t think that was possible, but it must have landed in the tail end of a block and quickly confirmed in the next. The Ping Thing currently shows 509ms fastest confirmation over the last hour.

The potential for this to happen is why I got excited about Solana in the beginning. Retailers can receive point-of-sale electronic payments in seconds without the credit card tax. Moving 3% of revenue to the bottom line is a huge win! #solana

It is time to build web3 social media primitives on fast blockchains ( @solana , @SuiNetwork , & others). A standard backend will give a strong network effect for users + allow for experimenting with different models on the front end: User-pays, ad-supported, etc. Who’s on it?
