Title: Maintenance at ICANN will affect bitcointalk.org?
Post by: Findingnemo on October 12, 2018, 05:12:41 PM
Today I constantly keep having some news that ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers who is going to shut their servers and database for 48 hours for the maintenance purpose in youtube and social medias.And also they said if they shut their servers then it will affect most of the websites in the world so there will be problem for accessing our forum if they are doing maintenance works?

Or its just a rumour? ???

It's not a rumor as there is a Maintainance brake occurring with the global internet Key servers. It may last up to the next 48 hours.

So the whole world is going to face that 48 hours without internet or just the website can't be accessed?Because in the article you have linked says that most of the domain names will be unacessible so even if the ISP provides their services what site we are going to search?

What will happen to bitcointalk and crypto community?

If you read it carefully than you would know that it would only affect the internet users whose service providers have not been prepared for this incident. Rest all will be working as usual as some initial precautions can make this whole process ineffective to the users.

I think Bitcointalk will have no effect due to this specifically as it depends on the internet connection of the user.
