    Hi, can youy please specify time in UTC? For people living outside of U.S it's really not obvious what does 'CST' mean,
    China Standart Time? Central Standart Time? Canada Standart Time? Thanks and sorry for bad english :)

    Well it says 12:00 P.M. CST, 12:00P.M. I believe it's noon(If I am wrong please someone correct me). Then you can find time differences in sites like this one: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/cst

    Don't worry. I already had written a reply to ask about that a couple of weeks ago. But then deleted it to not sound pedantic ;)

    I think a global currency should not use a local time. There is just one time standard for this: UTC

    Yes, GMT is just a time zone too, like any other, not a time standard.

    True... It can be up to 0.9 seconds off from UTC... :) I have just been using GMT longer, so it is what I type.

    Software is posted, but encrypted. They'll give us the key when mainnet opens.

    The platform specific archives have been encrypted with 7zip. The key will be made available when mainnet is launched.


    So we don't even get to install/setup, to be ready and waiting :(

    I am sorry you are right, hope we'll get them decrypted or the password soon.

    But I am sure if there will be a delay it would for a good reason.

    Update:

    It says: "The platform specific archives have been encrypted with 7zip. The key will be made available when mainnet is launched."

    So I guess we have to wait until then.

    That guy "kernik" was fired and no longer works in bleutrade.
    I'm sure the problem with mario has been solved and now all is well.
