Alipay is down again, Bitcoin is telling you to use blockchain!

This morning, many friends who wanted to pay for food suddenly found that their Alipay could not be used. I was one of them. There was really no way, and the takeaway did not accept Bitcoin payment, so I had to use a bank card.

Not long after, the editor of Alipay posted an explanation on its official Weibo account:

"A little after 10 o'clock this morning, a computer room in South China of Alipay experienced a malfunction. Our technical team urgently switched the business to other computer rooms step by step. This affected some users' use of some functions. We are very sorry for this. Currently, the relevant business is being restored. It is recommended that affected users try again later. At the same time, the security of your funds and information will not be affected in any way. Please rest assured."

Soon, some users were dissatisfied, and comments appeared one after another:

"I have to submit again and again!!! Baidu Waimai has told me that I have eaten enough today and should come back tomorrow."

"My wife's shopping cart is still not cleared, thanks to the brother who dug up the cable (so smart~)"

“The copywriting is “Popularity exploded, try again later””

"It seems that many people have starved to death. Next time, please don't cause a breakdown at a takeaway point."

"I couldn't log in this morning... I thought he ran away."

…

I guess at this moment, the mood of Alipay editor must be like this:

You should know that this is not the first time that Alipay has been down. As early as the afternoon of May 27 last year, some users reported that their Alipay had a network failure and their accounts could not log in or make payments. Alipay officials said that the failure was caused by the cutting of optical fibers in a certain place in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou. This incident caused some users to be unable to use Alipay. Subsequently, Alipay engineers urgently switched user requests to other computer rooms, and the affected users gradually recovered. At 7:20 p.m., Alipay announced that user services had returned to normal.

At this moment, I just want to say a few words:

Why doesn’t Alipay learn from Bitcoin!

Bitcoin has been around for more than seven years, but it has never crashed. This is due to the magical technology called blockchain.

Through p2p nodes, the ledger is dispersed to the whole world!

Do you think Alibaba has not noticed this technology? You are wrong. In fact, this technology giant has long been interested in blockchain.

On July 9, at the first Global XIN Charity Conference held in Hangzhou, Ant Financial stated at the "Internet Charity" sub-forum that blockchain technology will soon be launched and will first be applied to Alipay's charity donation platform.

First applied to Alipay’s…charity donation platform.

Well, maybe one day Alipay’s payment function will also be able to use blockchain. Then, foodies won’t have to worry anymore!
