Did it go down 12 times for technical reasons or was it intentionally pulled down? Something to wonder about.

  Doesn't sound very decentralized at all...

    No it just had bugs that got fixed. Decentralisation does not imply perfection.

  Is there a difference? A decentralized protocol that can be DOS'd by a reasonably successful criminal gang isn't all that useful.

  It goes down for an incredibly stupid decision. Transactions on Solana are free so spammers can produce millions of transactions per second and at some point validators simply crash. Solana has subsecond transaction processing so a validator being down for more than a second counts as a downtime whereas with Bitcoin a block taking two hours to mine is completely normal. Bitcoin doesn't have the concept of "downtime" only the concept of delaying the next block.
