Hey McVenture. When can we expect a new update and what will it be about?

Hey Geenstijl,

Aside from an interesting announcement that you can expect to receive over the next week, the next major update will be when Rise releases forging to the community after it has been updated with the latest LSK code. This might sound like a trivial task to accomplish, however it's not a matter of a few mouse clicks. The VM nodes that run for the 101 delegates to keep the blockchain and network secure and sustained need to be brought up to specs, the LSK code itself needs a lot of skinning and customizing for Rise (not everything can be fixed with a simple "search and replace"), the different software elements (wallet, explorer, delegates, nodes) need to be customized for Rise. All this is being worked on right now by our new dev. He has set up a testnet and is making the necessary changes and updates. Thorough testing is required as well. After testnet is stable and ready to go mainnet, documentation will be released so the community can immediately start setting up their own nodes and become Delegates which will also position them to win one of the prizes made available through the Rise Delegate Contest announced earlier.

Thanks for showing you guys are still working on it, when devs stay silent for too long I always start to worry, I almost believed the scam accusations.

I'll become a delegate soon and ask some people at Shift to help too.
