Question: The Test-Network was supposed to go live on the 1st of March why do you keep postponing the release? Answer: GRIDNET is a system which is being developed entirely from scratch. The project is probably the most ambitious blockchain project ever conceived. During implementation and testing, we have decided to take some drastic measures and introduced majors changes to the overall direction of the project.
Particularly, we have decided to move away, entirely, - from the UTXO model of transactions.
We have decided to go with an account based model all the way, instead. The aim is to farther underline the capabilities of GRIDNET platform as a global computational machine.
We have been experimenting with many database engines including MySQL, LevelDB, HyperLevelDB , among others. Our final choice is RocksDB.
These design decisions all have added up to our decision of postponing the deployment of a public Test-Network.
Introducing major changes to a large public network would be problematic and miss the point of public tests which are supposed to reflect most closely the final product and environment.
While still doing major development maneuvers theres no point in public tests.
Question: So, when will the Test-Network go LIVE?Answer: As of 28.02 we are thinking in terms of weeks. Please subscribe to our Newsletter and follow as on Twitter for more information.
