Cryptocurrency ops are so vastly different from running a social website that I can't even think of any overlap
I know nothing about how cryptocurrency works, but wouldn't social media outage sources like multiple server failures, hurricane, tornado, sliced fiber line, etc... affect the kind of cryptocurrency that Facebook is embarking on?
Or is there something in the "distributed" nature of cryptocurrency that makes it more resilient? Is Facebook using that model, too?
