Hive Engine is down - Recovery in progress
By now many people would have noticed already that Hive Engine is down and the witnesses are trying to catch up. It is expected that it can take at least a day or two for a fully functional Hive Engine as we don't have any concrete solution yet. There are a few proposals on what can be done to handle this but most of them also have their own advantages and disadvantages. 

There are so many projects that are dependent on Hive Engine right now and the code optimization is very important for Hive Engine considering the fact that it is struggling to process blocks one by one. Another problem faced by Hive Engine team is that even if someone is interested to build something, there is not enough revenue being generated to compensate further development. Sometimes issue fixing also becomes a challenging one.

## What happened?

Last night there was a heavy spamming happened where one specific account broadcasted hundreds of transactions trying to place some micro orders in the market. This caused a heavy delay in processing the hive blocks. The spam was done specifically by an account called @shaggroed which appeared like an intentional spamming. The good thing is that the spamming stopped at one point which is on block number 93051117. The witnessess will have to reach this block and only then the block processing will become faster.  

There is a possibility that the spammer might get back to spamming after we are all caught up and the chain is back up again. So the only way to handle this would be to have the solution implemented so that in the future such things can be handled. The first solution would be to restrict the number of transactions per user which will be only 20. I guess I myself might have to update some of my bots if at all this change happens. The next change might be to add a number of market orders that caan be placed in the market. 250 open orders per user will be a decent value I believe. 

Now we have to be patient until the issue gets resolved and the block processing gets back to normal. It is also advisable to no do any heavy activities on Hive for Hive Engine.

Yes most of us are fully dependent on hive engine due to the layer to tokens and it feels weird if hive engine is down. I am sure the team will come up with something new and that is going to be helpful and beneficial for all the users who are here. Many peoples only do trading don't post and that is the only source of income they do have. I am sure they are having a lot of trouble then the past a few days and not sure how long it is going to take I hope in this will be all settled by the weekend thanks for the update great post as always.  have a great day and weekend ahead.

Well, thanks for the update!

This is certainly concerning, especially if you view this in the context of *actually* being a variety of DDOS attack... and it's a pretty good bet that *"shaggroed"* is driven by someone with a personal axe to grind against Hive-Engine co-founder *"aggroed"* if you extrapolate the greater meaning of *"shag"* from the perpetrator's name. 

I'm sort of in favor of some *"limits"* on number of transactions... if we believe in the foundational notion that what we do here is ultimately *"Proof Of Brain,"* then there's little need for any one account to transact more than once every few seconds. Or whatever interval seems reasonable. In other words, put a plug in the pipe *upstream* from where the chain can effectively become overloaded... a bit like a localized Cloudflare stop. 

But I am not a technical person...

It's a tough situation, but with patience and the right solutions, we can look forward to a more resilient platform. Let's support the witnesses and developers as they work through this!
