It's better if they sort all the bugs out now, rather then after the live release, where real money is at risk.
I agree, Ethereum is progressing with its testnet and is looking to become quite useful.
We will still need to wait a bit longer to see what gets built in it but I am cautiously optimistic myself.
But as with all things wait and see is the mantra here.
So there is no hard plan for when it will go live?
Obviously it needs to be ready for public consumption before being released, but it would be good if that could happen sooner rather than later!
I imagine a lot of investors are quite worried. about the delays.
If I remember rightly, the wording of the IPO type thing offered no guarantee that anything would actually be delivered.
