Hi everybody! In the recent weeks, we’ve seen the demand for computation on ICP significantly increase. This is of course great news, but also leads to some challenges. We now see that there are quite some subnets that are running at or almost at maximum compute capacity. This means that canisters h…

I’m not from Yral team but I’m member of the Yral SNS DAO. What you are suggesting is simply ridiculous, like if ICP was just a kids playground - if that’s true, don’t expect anyone to really use it - effectively turning ICP into another meme.

for everyone else with a project on ICP it’s already turning into a meme with the current scaling issue. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, you get the same result ( a meme chain that promises “infinite scalability” but can’t actually deliver it ). There are of course reasonable limits to “infinite” in t…

I feel that you don’t get how serious problem this is, lets try other way. Github is broken for over a week… Netflix is broken for over a week… Fortnite is broken for over a week… whatever successful is broken for over a week… And Github, Netflix, Fortnite, … load is causing troubles also to o…

lol what? yeah, all those classic web 3 projects that are hosted on ICP :laughing:

No, those are successful Web2 project, hosted on AWS, Azure, GCP, … - and these cloud providers don’t let them being down even for a day. And don’t kick them out when there’s a problem :saluting_face:

I think you miss understand the problem, they aren’t comparable. If Github goes down then it causes problems for other projects that rely on them. Github doesn’t cause an issue for another project that is hosting by the same cloud provider if Github has a problem because they’re hosted on separate V…

This is about principals, not technicalities, it’s not kids playground, it’s not ‘everyone has a right’ - it’s a business - you don’t kick successful client away, you don’t cripple them - they pay for the services, you support them as much as you can.

This is about technicalities though. If you want to say broad statements then why are we bothering to talk about scaling issues at all? I agree, it’s not a kid’s playground. You’re missing the point I’m trying to make, NOBODY IS KICKING YRAL AWAY. The idea is to MOVE THEM to a DIFFERENT SUBNET. It’…

I agree that we should classify this as “degraded performance”, thanks for the suggestion.

Has the cycles faucet coupon code stopped being given away?
