The current state of Qeditas is as follows:

A testnet version (not yet released) is able to connect with peers (on a local network for the moment) and share the most important information, e.g., block headers, block deltas, and so on. Each attempt to run it has resulted in a fork within roughly the first 200 blocks, so there are definitely bugs. The debugging process is tedious and it is difficult to estimate how long it will take. Perhaps I will simply stop giving updates on this thread until there is a version that seems to run locally without forking. If and when that time should come, my plan is to release another alpha version (0.0.2) so that interested people can try the testnet. During this initial trial phase the testnet will probably be reset on a weekly basis.
