Hello,
Does this mean Mainnet will go live without any previous testing on Delegate voting/forging?
Vote shifts and memory tables are pretty complex and need solid testing.
If you dont have Testnet ready to experiment, im betting your GenesisDelegates will have to keep forging for months before you figure out what will work.
Not having a full Testnet during ICO is a big red sign.
You just get all BTC first and investor need to hope for the best.
Dear Team!
Why do you want to running all the 101 nodes by yourself? Why not let the community setting up the delegate nodes? (Like Lisk)
Then people would be able to "mining" this coin.
Or do you want to take all the forging fees too?
Cheers!
Thanks for the question!
We are only planning on running all of the nodes ourselves initially. As soon as we launch main net, you can become a delegate, and start getting votes, as soon as you have the votes to overtake one of our servers, you will become an active delegate. We will always run 101 delegates, to ensure that we always have enough active, 100% (or as close to it as possible) uptime delegates available should others drop out.
We definitely don't want to always run delegates ourselves, and have all of them all the time, and we definitely don't want to prevent anyone else from being able to become delegates so we can share the rewards for doing so.
We are aiming to have the mainnet up immediately following the ICO. And also whenever exchanges decide to pick us up.

When can we trade the coins after the ICO ?

Testnet is very stable right now. We are releasing testnet 2 shortly which will allow delegates to jump in for testing. Our escrow partners will not release our funds until everything is functioning as it should.
he ask for more than 4 btc just to list the ICOs on his site.
