Only the web site was down not the DPoS. Other websites accessing the same blockchain or users/services accessing the blockchain directly with a node were still up.
The Steem DPoS blockchain has never been down since some software bugs crashed it once or twice in the first few months.
Again I repeat that I visited busy.org several times and it refused to load any data from the blockchain. I even tried loading from different IP addresses through a VPN after it was not loading from my IP address.
I also checked steemd.com and it said reloading the Node.
I know because I was trying to get a url from one of my Steemit blogs and so I was trying to find any way to access the blockchain data and thus I tried every way I know of (as I do not actually run a Steem full node).
How can you refute those events? Where is your proof?
