The original Decred launch date was for January 16th, but has been delayed for one day due to the overwhelming response to the Decred airdrop, according to the Decred countdown clock? According to the countdown clock to closure of airdrop signup : https://decred.org/ the airdrop signup will be continuing until tomorrow evening. Does this mean the launch for Decred is delayed by one day?
As far as I know Decred Airdrop was scheduled for 18th of January and nothing changed. That's the day when wallet will be released and users get their coins. Testnet also should be available. Mainnet estimated launch day is 25th of January, but it's still not confirmed.
So whoever created the FAQ had it wrong then, they listed January 16th as the launch date for the airdrop , when it should have been January 18th: https://forum.decred.org/threads/frequently-asked-questions.36/ They were probably calculating the arrival date via the countdown clock and got the math wrong, at a guess. Surprising that no one fact checked the FAQ.
QUOTE Jan. 18th launch? ********************* I don't believe the coins will be sent on that day, only the signup period will end. For the coins to be "sent" the network must me functioning (mainnet) and someone must mine those transactions... We are getting close however a little more patience is required. ********************************* plenty of patience here, no complaints. Just thanks for helping sort out some of the confusion So maybe the coins will go out January 25th? *********************************** I think the excitement is warranted... We are all on the edge of our seats waiting for this exciting project to launch. I believe however a delay of a few weeks will be required by the devs due to the strong demand for the airdrop...
Please read the official announcement by @_ingsoc: https://forum.decred.org/threads/airdrop-conclusion-and-road-ahead.217/ Emphasis mine.
I am ok with waiting for things to get ironed out. Nothing destroys a blockchain/coin faster than crappy code. Plus, it gives us other developers time to iron out how we can help the project, web wallet anyone?
Hello everyone, Another quick notice to let you know airdrop enroll ends on 18 January 2016. The project expects one or two end lots of e-mail invitations to go out during the week of 18. This date is not the date coins are airdrop available for participants who have confirmed their invitations by generating a seed, checking it, and send a Decred address. The coins will not be available until the release of MainNet is hesitant right now. Once airdrop completed as described, 100% of the project's focus will be on getting the software ready for TESTNET and binary miner to public disclosure. Mining specifications will also be provided in one place so that everyone has the same information and the process is conducted fairly. MainNet will launch a week after this milestone is reached - assuming no significant technical problems occur. Updates will be posted on this segment - as they occur - on the progress on the release of a public TESTNET and mining software. All developers are working full time and every day in getting it ready for you. Hang in there! Thanks to everyone who spent countless hours helping others through the process and answer questions. It became the foundation that runs the project. Regards, Decred Project
What's the point of generating a bad english version of the official announcement? Two messages earlier I posted a link to the official announcement by _ingsoc. Did you run it through Google Translate English to Language X and then back to English?
It should have been, over the link that has posted the _ingsoc a look there https://forum.decred.org/threads/airdrop-conclusion-and-road-ahead.217/
kkkkk was not so, I translate into Portuguese and then spent the Portuguese into English, may have given a difference, that's RRSS.
Yes, that's the original one in good English. But where did you get the one you quoted in message #8 which is a bad English version? Did you run the good one two times through Google Translate or something?
kkkkk was not so, I translate into Portuguese and then spent the Portuguese into English, may have given a difference, that's RRSS.
