I just tested the new release of the testnet, I was impressed by how fast it is now to connect to the network.

Tested the new luna. Very fast. Nice job, waiting for the main net.

Did your hash rate drop?
Mine dropped from 27kH/s to around 5. :O

The global hashrate and my personnal hashrate both decreased a lot. It's probably because they changed the algorithm. I dropped from 12 kH/s to 1 kH/s.

Also, the blocks seems to be heavier. I don't remember the blocks' size on the previous betanet, so if may be totally false, but currently an empty block is 555 bytes and a block with 4 transactions is more than 1 MB.

PS : the reward has dropped from 50 NET per block to 5 NET per block.

LUNA HAS LANDED: New Version of the TESTNET

We are happy to announce that at 2017–11–23 at 17:53:48 Luna has landed in our release branch and is now live for the public.

This is the final major update before the Nimiq Mainnet launch. Luna introduces all remaining core protocol features such as:

- Nano clients establishing consensus with the network by downloading just about a megabyte of blockchain data.
- Light clients that securely sync to almost full consensus by downloading just about 100 MB.
- High degree of miner decentralization by using Argon2 as memory-latency bound Proof-of-Work algorithm.
- Multiple significant performance improvements such as WebAssembly modules, Ed25519 signatures and fast database transactions.
- An intuitive address format designed for usability, based on the IBAN standard.
To learn more about the guts and features of Luna please read here.

So the website was updated now Q1 2018 for mainnet, not December as it says in the title of this thread.

Watching the vlog did you ever see a more self-absorbed, out-of-touch group of people? It's all beards and bro-fisting, dizzy with conceit after all the millions they raised to support their new jet-set lifestyle, which is excessive and inessential to this kind of software project.

The reason for the delay? They want to give time for people to swap their coins. Bullshit! Q1 = 3 months. It won't take 3 months to do that. Eth is at all time high which means anyone who invested in Nimiq has lost big, while the money they took in the ICO just keeps growing like one big huge sushi plate.

Tezos is getting sued, other projects that break promises will follow. Being a skateboarding hippy with your head up your ass won't protect you, nor will a Swiss foundation.

Patience, the project has lost none of its potential.

I would love to see Nimiq work right from day one so the best thing they could do is take their time and make sure it's ready to be launched. If needed take more time, don't be like Electroneum for example

Luna-beta net announcement told "November", so they are still working on it. I guess they adhere to deadlines - but if it would need some more time, they should take it.

I agree, Al. Deadlines and roadmaps are too often 'investor pressure.' I'd rather wait, and get a better product.

Is there any news regarding the launch of Nimiq? I haven't heard anything about it since the ICO some time ago

Not really.
Does anybody know if Luna has been released to public test net?

First I will ensure that the bitcoin site is legitimate enough to buy bitcoins i en will watch for someday that the bitcoin is high enough for me to market in order that it will return to me at high risk.th

Tee hee – some sort of auto-translation gig. They’re turning up on another BCT ANN thread I frequent.

The ‘recent posts’ is a give-away: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/rarerips-1281316

Stuff like: ‘ . . . crypto its more viewed as investment automobile than medium of exchange but we're at begining of a shinny tendency.’

Any bounty for the Luna Testers?
Providing bounty will get more testers will increase Nimiq's community user base in time for the mainnet launch.

End of 2017 is just 6 weeks away.

Seems like plenty of time in the world of crypto. The guys have been doing a decent job till date. Expect to see mainnet launched soon.

~~Whats the difference between luna and the first test nets?~~

edit: the blog post explains that well
Hopefully the mainnet launch is on schedule

Any plans to add fiat to NIM exchange?
