New block explorer should be up late this evening or early tomorrow morning.  I'll be catching up on a few bounties as well as testing a few sig designs. We will run the giveaway on Twitter tomorrow so that should be fun. There really isn't much standing between us and the beta at this point, so we expect to (finally) have that operational by the end of this week. The main goal of this is to demonstrate a workable system, and we encourage participation if you are able. There will be incentive for this because we will need feedback (positive or negative).  All we ask is that you go into this understanding this is a beta, and it's purpose is to produce any potential problems so that we can eliminate them. If there are issues, rest assured from a monetary standpoint it will be made right. It is good to finally see all of this coming together!
