it appears all 3 nodes are down for a couple of hours now at least :(
if they manage to bring the nodes back stable, I'd be happy to sent you some xmr for the upgrade 3 weeks ago
Hi Monero community,
I have started crowdfunding another Monero node at bitnodes.net and have purchased 25 of the 50 shares required for Monero node #2. The initial node is running correctly and is stable. Once this second node is funded Monero node #3 is free. These are managed for one full year for $50.00, which I think is a good deal. You can donate whatever amount you want from 1 share ($1.00) to 25 shares ($25.00).

Thanks drfred. Yeah, they had 3 nodes down at once several times in the past. I'm not too happy about that myself. I can understand 1, maybe 2, but not all 3, and down for a while at that. I was hoping up-time would be more important to them.
If all 3 nodes are down and then back at the same time, chances are they put all three on the same machine, each under different IP.
Three should never be down though. At the most, one, for maintenance, while the other two are working properly. That was kind of the point in getting three up and running. The only time three nodes should be down is catastrophic failure of the data center in my opinion. Maybe my standards are too high. :-)
Update on these Monero nodes.
Upgraded the three Monero nodes to:
Cost was about 89 XMR. They said they were having to restart the nodes too often, so needed more dedicated hardware for them. 89 XMR didn't seem like much, so I went ahead and did it.
