People, things re gonna change quite soon.
Let me quote what Paul posted on reddit a few days ago:
"A couple of months ago I said we were weeks away from a testnet. Our schedule is dictated by testing, and we are testing the heck out of M2, so we are at the edge of that statement. We are quiet, but as Github shows we are hard at work. I am not ready to delay out to 2017. I've been terrible at estimating our schedule, so I'll not say more than that."
So, he says, WE RE AT THE EDGE OF THAT STATEMENT. Does the edge mean 6 months? No. Does it mean 3 months? No. It means soon. So, be a bit more patient and let s launch this ship.
