Launch Mainnet Launch Date

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

 

yep, i'm looking exactly at that site. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/

And there are 3 CST's:
Central Standard Time - UTC-6
China Standard Time - UTC+8
Cuba Standard Time - UTC-5

 

If you check the posts in this thread then it has to be Central Standard Time - UTC-6 .

 

Thank you! That was what I'm looking for.

 

I also asked. (First, but I don't want to brag... ) And it is 18:00 GMT.

 

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 I clear out the time after I read the reply to your post.

 

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.

The software will be made free and open-source at 12:00 PM CST February 7th, 2016

Is there any delay?

 

Also was about to ask this, should've been somewhere for about an hour now?

 

Yes, There is 1 hour delay now....
What's up?

 

Check again, it's already up: https://github.com/decred/dcrd/releases/

v0.0.1 mainnet: https://github.com/decred/dcrd/releases/tag/v0.0.1

Refresh your browser and if you still can't see it delete browser cache and try again or use another browser.

 

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.

 

How is the development of PoS and PoW pool software coming?

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.
