Title: I'm lost - Help me catchup.
Post by: NineLives on April 02, 2014, 01:17:49 pm

Just been on a long Holiday and I'm now lost.  Please can you guys help me brief catch up?

Main question.  BTS now mine-able?  (gulp).
If its not, when is it predicted for launch?
Is there a wallet ready?

Ta..

No. Its (will) be a scrypt/sha miner platform which then buys bts for you! much like blackcoinpool

a test for the testnet launch before NYC conference (ie, this week)
the real XT chain is announced to be released after NYC

What is the difference between X and XT? I thought XT was the test flavour of X but then it's being talked of as it that's the real BitShares X.

XT is the test chain and proto-DAC for X family
