We had a successful release of the Ethorse dApp on Kovan Testnet last week. We received positive and constructive feedback from our community (posted here and here). We are extremely thankful to the community members who are helping with this effort and providing feedback contributing to the success of Ethorse. The network connectivity issues we had in the beginning are not present anymore. We are continuing to update the dApp and implement new features based on the feedback we receive. Below are some updates we have rolled out so far.

The Betting period for all races have been increased from 1hr to 6hrs, so there will always be a race to bet on

Added two new 1hr races. Now for every 24hrs, there will be four 1hr races and two 24hr races

See the current coin price the dApp uses before you bet and during the race

Odds calculation is updated to align with global standards and easier understanding (Now includes +1ETH)

Small update to make it usable for now in Cipher Mobile Browser

Other updates — Scrollbar, wordings, price (and %) decimals, disable coin selection after the race starts, etc.

As we continue to update the dApp, please keep the feedback coming. If you need Kovan Testnet Ether to play with the dApp, all you have to do is log-in to the Kovan Faucet Gitter with Twitter/Github account and post an address to receive it. We will be conducting a bug bounty in the next few days. After we address the major items from the community feedback and the bounty, we will release the dApp on Mainnet. Thanks again for your continued support to the success of Ethorse. Together, we should all be proud of the progress we have made so far in a short time.
