Release is less than week away so when do we get the miner? You should let people test the miner somehow for a fair launch... You don't want that drama when half of OS X users are screwd etc. do you?

This could be a good addition. And as the above post say'd it would be good if the miner was out a bit earlier so the users can set up their machines and test that everything works. Decred should do everything to avoid as much launch drama as possible. Im guessing quite a few small miners want to give it a shot also.

Testnet and miner binaries will be released a week prior to the launch of mainnet. This will be accompanied by miner specifications, so everyone can prepare adequately and get comfortable. Please do note that the current tentative date for launch is the 25th, but this may change on the basis of testing and development. The software will take precedence over dates, that's why they're tentative.

Ah ok thank you for making that clear. I fully agree that the software and making sure everything works comes first, no need to rush anything. The one week period should give everyone plenty of time to set everything up and to get to know everything released.
