Below you will find my write-up as an independent after action report for the issue impacting Cardano late last week, along with things I learned, why I was impressed, and what I think we can do better at in the future. I try to strike the balance between confronting the seriousness of the issue, while defusing most of the over-stated positions from talking heads on Twitter. This is an adult conversation, not whatever the children are engaging in on Twitter this week. I don't think it's productive to get into debates of what constitutes "downtime" or not; Instead, I tried to equip you with a framework where you, dear reader, can think about these things for yourself, and decide what you want to call it. I just ask that you make that decision for yourself, or allow your audience to do so, rather than parroting some pre-decided talking points. More informed discussion leads to a higher quality industry overall. 314pool.com/post/cardano-pos…

BUT WAIT, ONE MORE THING! @hoskytoken reached out to us and generously offered to sponsor a surprise award! The BIGGEST LOSER of the trading competition, calculated as the highest peak-to-trough account value, really took the spirit of the testnet to heart. @rasunner will receive 1000 ADA worth of HOSKY for embodying the Hosky spirit and driving a maximum drawdown of 35%! A fun bit of additional trivia: @rasunner also had the most fills of any eligible participant in the competition: 1,583,398 fills!
