I hope everyone understands RC4 HAS NOT LAUNCHED YET... its out in spork mode. It is meant to be this way. Roll out RC4 to the adventurour to play with and report bugs "large scale" - which are just little pestering things and nothing major.
No one need to update unless they dont want to. Except pools if they dont want orphaned blocks when the fork is set.
So RC4 beta-testing now?
Release Candidates are betas by definition...
^^ This 100%.
Wait until v1.0 before being too critical.The problem is that you can't keep moving the goal posts. RC4 was supposed to be a big deal. It wasn't and now people are talking about v1.0 instead. That's not going to fly. It's been next week for several months now. Either you have a working product or you don't. It's actually a very simple concept.
I would respectfully disagree with this. RC4 is a release candidate. Its beta, and you've probably been around software development before, I assume. Evan and the dev team stated what was going to be included in RC4 and they have delivered, there is expected to be bugs in mainnet because NO ONE can replicate mainnet real world in a testnet enviorment. As you must be aware...no where does anyone on here state that this is a final release. I'm sure there have been individuals on this forum and possibly others that may have been pumping that as such for their own gain...but no one from the official team has EVER mentioned that.
Again...Beta is a Beta...can we at least agree on that shojayxt?
I agree it is. A release candidate and therefore classified usually as beta
