Announcement: Mainnet will be launched in 4-6 days!

Exact time depends on finals tests on testnet and how stable they are. Assuming we have no last minute bugs, this will be in about 4 days on October 8. Follow this forum thread of updates on the exact time.

Genesis plan:

1. The genesis block will be mined immediately before the launch and be committed to git before the first nodes are live. A current events headline will be used to prove it's fresh.
2. Announcement will be made on the forum that the nodes should be launched.
3. Two seeds nodes (seed.bitcoinroyale.org and seed-two.bitcoinroyale.org) will be launched from genesis. These seed nodes are just full nodes, they are not doing any mining. They will enable new nodes to join the network and propagate the chain.
4. This means the network relies on you as miners to move forward. If there are no external miners, the chain will stand still until a new miner becomes online.
5. There is no pre-mine. The genesis current event events headline will prove this. All mining is fair play to anyone as soon as the genesis event occurs.

This is your chance to be part of the genesis. Launch your node as soon as the genesis block is commited to git.

How can you get ready?

I took the time to write thorough documentation with everything you need to know. Please take the next few days to go over it, review the codebase and experiment with running testnet nodes:

* How to run a Bitcoin Royale wallet

* How to solo mine Bitcoin Royale (BTCR)
