State of development: Week of Oct 16th, 2017

Full steam ahead.

The Big Spenders release is our biggest release ever. We have 40 tickets open, with more to come. We made this a 3-week sprint and left an extra week for testing since this release is the first version of our testnet.

We are looking to release the testnet on November 15, with very limited capabilities. We will not have oracles, state channels, smart contracts or governance. Bringing up a testnet with just the spend transaction and iteratively upgrading it gives us the chance to iron out the kinks in our hardfork deployment approach. The idea is to treat the testnet with just as much care as the future mainnet.

Stay tuned and let us know if you have any questions or issues!
