What happens when half of the IPFS network is down?

So how did 60% of the network become manually mis-configured? Or does a single company (cloudflare?) make up 60% of the network?

From my reading, they mis-configured it in their use of the library - using the default value instead would have avoided the problem.

Someone did some digging on various non-Bitcoin crypto coins and found that a huge percentage of the whatever it is they run were just running on AWS.

Like the entire application binary was mis-configured. so anyone running the newest update would be misconfigured

Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd that the article starts off bragging about what was an outage?

And I as soon as I hear “we were still running with half our network down”, the first thing I think of is that no one really is using IPFS at all.

"Connection was reset."

Well, that might address the mystery :-)
