Last week masknetwork blockchain become increasingly unstable (web nodes constantly crashed every 2-3 hours due to a memory leak in java node code). Also in the last 48 hours the network unexpectedly forked two times.

We reached the conclusion that masknetwork blockchain is not fully functional and it's not safe for regular users. Due to software instability, using masknetwork right now is a risk for exchanges, regular users and node operators. As a result we have switched the network to testnet (all node operators agreed).

The real net will be realaunched on January, 5, 2017 after we perform extensive stress tests. It's not "game over", it's just a delay. Those who invested back  in 2015 know that we keep our promises.

All addresses balances, address names and other important data are well preserved and the real network will include them at launch. Nobody will loose anything.

In case you have pending maskexchange transactions please get in touch with customer support.

The only good news is that all web node operators reported a huge increase of signups / users retention since launch (3 weeks ago) and the feedback they have received from users was amazing. Unfortunately masknetwork is not stable enough and we need more tests. 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused
