Hi! I've just sent a message to arkecosystem to claim the bounty signature campaign.

ARK is a long term project, we don't need to be so urgent to trade, I am very patient with you guys, no rush, no urgency, be preparing well and then release, if we can be launching at polo, every wait is worth.

Just wanted to give everyone the confidence to trade ARK, I entrust all the teams that have been working hard for this project, an issue to be distributed ARK, the team knows better trading sites that are good for society ..

launch date is not set in stone yet

Congrats on winning 5K ARK!  Will come your way after mainnet launch!

Now for the Technicals…

Last week we announced that the launch date would be pushed slightly to later in February. We would like to take this opportunity to talk a little bit more about why that is. With the latest testnet round, it became clear to the development team that there were a lot of underlying issues that could only be fixed by re-writing major portions of the core code.

For starters, the event management was not to our liking and could not simply be tweaked to function the way we believe is necessary or in a way we think makes sense. This requires a major rewrite to meet our standards and to make the network function how we envisioned. This is the case for several areas of the core code and is where most of our time and energy are currently focused.

Fixcrypt is completely rewriting the node management with a single point of entry that will deal with node state: (rebuilding, downloading blocks, broadcasting, forging etc…). It added a bit of work, but he is progressing well and we are seeing great results so far.

This rewrite of the legacy code will enable many improvements within the protocol.

Things in the pipeline:

• Relay nodes (high level API access) and forging nodes (less API access + more security) are clearly separated.
• Crazy fast rebuilding speed (because we are now able to mount the network interface only when being rebuilt…)
• Broadcasting block headers only, since most of transactions are likely already received by all nodes before a block is forged.
• Better block processing (no need to remove unconfirmed transactions that are included in the block).

Making changes to the protocol starting with the following:

• No maximum block size
• The only limitation on processing will be the # of transactions that the forging node can verify and include in less than blocktime/10

After these changes, the network will scale more directly with the power of the forging node hardware. That means when ARK mainnet launches, medium grade equipment may be good enough to run the network, but as we grow over the next year and beyond, delegates will definitely be required to run more robust hardware to keep the network going strong. More details on recommended specs will be available once we have had a chance to test the capabilities of the new code.

A new internal testnet version will be pushed out early this week. We will need a few days to monitor performance before we roll that version out to the main testnet group in our ARK slack.  Things are moving fast and a complete rewrite of a major part of the ARK core needs to be done right. We won’t release until we have conducted a thorough and productive open testnet period of all of these changes.

Rest assured FIX is 110% confident in this course of action and so are we. Here is current testnet github. https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-node/commits/newtestnet

For those of you more familiar with github, we have launched the AIP(ARK Improvement Protocol) section. We encourage everyone to look into ARK on a more technical standpoint and share your ideas.

Now for all of the apple fans in the community, say hello to the official ARK testnet IOS app.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/arkdelegatetestnet/id1195404477?ls=1&mt=8

The only bad thing about ARK being on the apple store, is you have to wait for the new testnet release this week to use it.

That’s all for week 6. Stay tuned for more updates

And when is the mainnet launch?

email [email protected] if your winning email address is different than your TEC email address.

Bounty will be distributed after mainnet launch once we get the first day rush or two out of the way and make sure the network is working.

My opinion is same as yours, the ark token is very closed to lisk project, lisk and poloniex has good connection, guys remember the huge pump on poloniex? I believe that the ark team is awesome, and ark will be on poloniex.

Same question. Also will the bounty hunter receive their coin in the same time as ico investors?

wanna ask about arks that people won in lotteries, is they already on tec.ark.io accounts, or it will be there after mainnet will be launched?
and do i need write from my email again to get them, cause when i won i wrote an email and get answer that i won and all is ok

This is the weekly update from our slack a few days ago...

ARK Week 5 update:

We would like to start by congratulating our previous design contest winners: Sormin, Densmirnov, & Jamiec79.

This weeks winner is:  mjbmonetarymetals

Congrats on winning 5k ARK!

Also, thank you to all of the other new submissions. We really enjoy seeing what you guys come up with.

Mainnet Launch:

We continue to make great strides towards release. After extensive testing by our testnet crew, we have seen several large bug fixes that needed to be addressed. Thank you all for your dedication to helping with testnet. It will show in the final product for sure.

Due to these bugs, the holiday period, and the time required to code and issue the refunds after the TEC ended, we are still at least several weeks away from being ready to launch. The network is stable and performing well on testnet, but we want to make sure we look for all possible security vulnerabilities prior to launch.

We are close, and want to deliver a solid core product to the ARK community. Therefore, after a  lot of internal debate, we have decided to push ARK mainnet launch back at least a few weeks.

As a team, and with our experiences with cryptocurrency launches, we feel it is more important to begin life with an amazing, stable, secure, and reliable product to base our future use cases on, rather than one that needs patches and updates just to stay afloat a year down the road.

So at this moment we cannot give an exact date, only that February is still considered our mainnet launch month until further notice.

We are in contact with exchanges, but cannot give any more info on which exchanges.
We hope you can all understand that we cannot talk about this just yet. Please be rest assured, ARK will be on exchanges at launch :wink:.

We are also currently in the process of closing a strategic partnership that will benefit SmartBridge and the ARK Ecosystem. This well known partner will add promised functionality and abilities to the ARK SmartBridge that will help propel ARK into the future!

Stay Tuned!

How do the tidings from ark?
When will be the launching of these coins originally?
According to info last week ARK will be launching in early February, and is now approaching the month of February.
Please inform about this sir and the development of the market?

release date same? mid feb?

Bittrex won't have too much volume and hype but if it's added to Poloniex that would be dream come true. Poloniex has the best altcoin volume right now. We saw how crazy Pascal's launch was. People wait too long for Ark, they deserve a good opening. It's not about crazy %200-300 short term profit but bigger adoption and higher trade volume, which is healthier for any coin.
