    Hello everyone,

    Just a quick update to solidify a specific date and time for mainnet launch now that testnet has been live for a while. The original plan was to bring mainnet up on February 3rd, 2016, in the event that no serious bugs were discovered during the week of testnet. However, operation of testnet and feedback from users have made it clear that the network will benefit greatly from two distinct factors that require completion or work prior to the launch of mainnet. These are:
    • PoW pools - the project is currently assisting developers who are working on pools for PoW mining
    • PoS pools - the project will complete and release a basic stake pool for those interested in PoS mining
    As such, the specific date and time scheduled for mainnet launch is 12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016. The software will be made free and open-source at 12:00 PM CST February 7th, 2016 - one full day prior to the launch of mainnet. Hopefully progress on these factors will afford everyone a little bit more time to become familiar with the software and make arrangements for the launch day!

    As always, thank you to everyone for their hard work and effort in helping others along the way!

    Sincerely,
    Decred Project

    The professionalism shown throughout this entire project is amazing. Hitting every deadline and not rushing through things is the key, and you guys must be well aware. With the buzz this project already has, I see this currency doing big numbers in the future.

    yep, if the protocol is similar to bitcoin. I've already talked to them.
    They just don't guarantee that will be so fast if it's something very different, as ethereum.
