I'm a developer/sys admin myself and there's so many things that have to be done correctly. Also, expecting hundreds of thousands of users at a single time, after you've never experienced it (load testing can be VERY different than actual usage) is just asking for trouble. While they may be "under attack", I think it's most likely a lot more accurate that they just weren't prepared for the traffic. It'd have been better to do something like adding users in waves – VIPs can invite 5 users/day from Fri - today, and then today thru Wed anyone can invite 10 people/day. You help gradually increase the load while also seeing where the pain points are to fix. Then after that, everyone joins and your probably in a great position.
A short list of things that much be correct and ready:
Huge caching server
Database with proper load balancing
Proper web load balancing
Huge pipe with multiple redundancies
That's just a quick out of the gate thing.
All that said, I do hope and want this to succeed...
I'll add to what you're saying. I've worked with some brilliant devs, and I had some insanely sharp cats on the engineering team I was on. Sometimes things do not work as expected, someone missed a config setting or a typo that looks right but contributes to the problem, you get hammered foreign sources intent on bringing you down.
Now considering Frank: The cabal/left/useful idiots want this to fail and will do everything in their power to do so. I am doubting this tech snag is an accident. What better way to get data from attackers than to present 'launch day" which is actually a way to trap and extract data, IPs, reverse hack? Then say, "wow we were overwhelmed b/c we didn't expect this amount of traffic (wink wink) and we'll be back Thursday. I highly doubt that they spent 4 years working on this to bring a substandard product. There is way more going on that what meets the eye.
Stop thinking about how things work normally, this is unconventional warfare folks, and will be handled as such.
They underestimated the demand for the platform. When I heard they were just gonna launch this site without any special consideration for the amount of traffic they were gonna get slammed by I decided I would take the "wait and see"'approach before trying to join it.
What you are stating about Lindell underestimating the platform demand is not correct. I heard his interviews on BardsFM on Friday April 16th. Lindell specifically addressed his servers being ready to handle 1 BILLION accounts.
Just to follow up – they may all be correct and there could be a massive attempt right now. I just know launching something this massive at a single time is asking for trouble, and that's all I'm saying.
I'm still waiting for access to the site myself. I thought the phone number VIP thing was for access, but I never got an invite.
Not entirely sure why the downvotes...

I personally like the Frankathon alternative while issues are worked out.

^This^ makes sense. I like the reverse hack angle.
They underestimated the demand for the platform. When I heard they were just gonna launch this site without any special consideration for the amount of traffic they were gonna get slammed by I decided I would take the "wait and see"'approach before trying to join it.
