It's too late in the day for me to make a progress update, except to say that I have been writing code at a very rapid pace  You all can expect a real update in ~21 hours.

Generally the quieter I am on btctalk and IRC, the more work I am getting done, so don't worry if I'm not posting much here!

I underestimated the scope of this project and set too ambitious of a schedule for it. Zerocoin will be probably be ready within 2-3 months, but I don't want to give any more release dates (either for testnet or mainnet) until I am very, very close. I will not make this mistake again.

I will continue to give status updates, and I have made tremendous progress in recent weeks. As I promised, I will still work full time on this until November 1, and I expect to have a few hours a day after that to work on it.
