Subtask of #156

  • We currently have the status.grid.tf to display the state of the grid, that is very good
  • When there are issues on the grid that affect services, we should be able to communicate it clearly so users know what is going on and when we expect a fix
  • GitHub has a nice way of doing it with githubstatus.com
    • Their status format is more or less as good as ThreeFold's status format (see first picture below)
    • But how they communicate the downtime/issues is very effective IMO, and we could have something similar:
    • Example when an issue arises (see second picture below)
      https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/qd96yfgvmcf9

Specs

  • When grid services are down, provide info on the situation on status.grid.tf, as GH does
    • Thus users/farmers can consult it and be in the know
    • It would even be great for support circle, as they could simply share this to the users/farmers asking for help concerning such situation
