Okay thanks for clearing all that up SyRenity. We appreciate it, though in the future, please try to maintain better communication with the community in periods such as this.
Are you joking? I have been here saying all of this the entire time?!? I don't get no respect!! I specifically mentioned SyRenity & Boris, as the people who should maintain better communication in times like these. If you check my previous posts I acknowledged both you and samsmith16 as keeping communication up during the developers absence in this thread.
Although you gave us some info, it wasn't enough for anyone to grasp the situation. If you look at the rest of the community's responses to my posts, you'll see that we continuously asked for more info.
There were some key questions which SyRenity managed to clear up :
Q :
Why was the network put offline?A : This was done as an emergency measure to avoid possible forks with the PoT stability issues that we have discovered, while we are working on a proper solution for them. The intended pause period was expected to be a day at most, however unfortunately re-working the PoT took much more time than planned, thus causing the extended delay.
Q :
Was it stopped Intentionally? How can you stop a decentralized network Intentionally?A : Foundation own nodes where stopped, which form for the moment the majority of Crypti network.
Naturally people running their own nodes are not affected by that, however the main services (exchanges, etc...) are working with Crypti nodes.
Once we get the Windows version out, we certainly looking for a change of this situation, where Foundation nodes are the minority.
Q :
What will be the next version coming out 0.16D/0.17 and will the Windows Wallet be released?A : We will release the new 0.1.7 version (both Linux and Windows) to the wide circulation.
(Boris kept on saying that 0.16D would be coming out to fix bugs and 0.17 would come later with Windows Wallet in tow. We now have confirmed that the next release will be 0.17 not 0.16D and will contain the Windows Wallet
Q :
Does this now mean that the network will remain down for however long this PoT fix takes, possibly weeks?A : We are working to restore it to fully functional order as soon as possible, with the target to have it up and running within days.
Before SyRenity posted we barely knew why the network was down, let alone when it would be online again. He came and he answered most if not all of our questions, which is what we've been asking for the past 4 or so days.
