We have a lot to celebrate. We’ve just reached 800,000 blocks on the network and it’s been running continuously for all these years! Security, decentralization, and the transparent store of value have all been securely operating non-stop for 800,000 blocks now. It’s a pretty awesome milestone, isn’t it? Some unknown miner got the 800,000th block and now we can’t wait to get to 840,000 blocks.
To mark this momentous occasion, I’ve decided to allow my dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to take place today at the same time every week since 2019. It’s a great way to escape the matrix!
Solana is looking on in amazement. It’s impressive that we can go a full year without an outage. This feat definitely has an effect on its market value. We can look forward to a future where we celebrate block numbers as public holidays!
So congratulations to everyone! We’ve made it this far and there’s still 40,000 blocks to go. For those of you who are just reading about this for the first time, it means that we’ve reached 800,000 blocks on the network. We can also see that there is a memory usage of 520/300, and the next block is in reverse order.
It’s been an incredible journey and we can’t wait to reach the next milestone of 1,000,000 blocks. Here’s to many more successes like this one!
