After large-scale regression and load testing we have identified a small issue with the certificates service. Because we are intent on delivering the best product possible we will be keeping this service (certificates) on the testnet ONLY until the issue is resolved. We are working diligently on this issue now and have been up all night trying to resolve. We do not want this to impact the launch, all other services are working as expected.
We will be working throughout the day/week to address this issue and once it is verified on the testnet we will release it on the main network. We will still be launching with all 4 services, the only service that will be in "beta" mode is the certificates which will be testnet-only until its deemed suitable to move to the main network which will be as soon as possible.
As always we're looking out for the what's best for the coin, investors, and the long term stability of the network. By keeping certificate services on the testnet it will allow a larger group of people to use, test, and provide feedback which may provide us additional insight into the fix. In the meantime devs and users can start building markets, storing data, and reserving aliases while we address the issue with certificate services.
Still planning to soft launch as scheduled, apologies if I'm unreachable I'm working with the team on these issues.
tl;dr
It wasn't that long and also lumamine has been offline for a while now.
