Welcome to @toly, co-founder of Solana!  

He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

do you think solana the network could be ever shut down if US regulators decided to turn against solana labs?

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

wasn't provocative, i'm just curious how you approach this topic, im coming from the eth side of things where people overpay for security and overfit hardware reqs for raspberry pies


do you think enough users right now run their own solana nodes for the network to be always available to transact with?

the code is open source, anyone can pick up the code and run with it, and there are so many copies of the state that its virtually guaranteed that at least one replica will survive.  So if the users want to they can always continue no matter what happens to labs.  So what does shutdown mean in this context?
