Hello Everyone!

Just getting caught up here after a busy day at my end and noticed Biker had posted some great info about the fees. So, I thought it was important to first of all say that the numbers he is reporting are not to be considered as anything other than test numbers.

What Borz is doing here is actually playing with his scaled fees theory, and was trying some scenarios today. But, the final fees system will be very different and will possibly even have some trust factors involved, which would result in free transactions between friends and things like that. It is also important to note that a security feature was being tested and if a transaction was less that the normal fee, the fee doubled and this is to fight transaction spam of 1 XBY, which in this case would cost the attacker 101 XBY for 1 transaction...

So, there will be different scenarios worked through before our next live wallet update.

Otherwise, as you could see the testing was otherwise very fast and successful today and we did in fact add an additional 7 testers to the TESTNET tonight. We will continue to add people while we work our way up to the full 512 nodes and at that point, some major testing will occur.

Anyone else interested in participating, please be sure to download the latest wallet for your machine at the ANN and then get in touch with @rule144 on Slack for further instructions.

If you want to see the transactions and blocks being mined by the STATIC miners, you can see from the TESTNET explorer:

Again, keep in mind that we are sorting out the bugs before the PUBLIC test. This is however, our first look at the live tech!!

Thank you all for your patience Smiley
