Stag open beta is here! I have a public node with an open UI as well as a public node with a closed UI for it to exchange data with. So far, they have been sufficiently exchanging blocks and transactions with each-other so I am opening up the beta testing phase for public use.
What to do!
Go to the URL listed in the "Where to go" section and create an account. Write down your password somewhere or save it to your computer. There is no need to worry about security as this is only beta and upon official release, all coins from beta WILL DISAPPEAR! Once you log in for the first time, you will be given a public key. Post your public key here along with the amount of STAG you want to use for testing. I will then send you some STAG using your public key! After that, play around and goof off! If you find a bug, please post it here!
What NOT to do!
Don't use the password you used for beta for a real account when Stag is finally released as the server is set up for debugging and I WILL see the passwords you used in beta! So please, don't tempt me by using a password you used for something else or using the same password for beta as you do for the initial release!
Also, don't report typos (yet)! This includes instances where something says "NXT" instead of "STAG." I will get to these later.
What to expect!
Likely the biggest existing bug is the fact that when you try to make a transaction, you will see an error stating "Could not verify signature (Server Side)." Despite the error, the transaction IS excepted and will go through in the next block. This has something to do with the fact that you are logging in remotely (i.e. you are logging into Stag through something other than localhost). I am aware of this bug and will fix it, but it is not my highest priority as every day use of Stag will be done through localhost.
