Title: When is official launch time?
Post by: Thom on October 12, 2015, 09:55:10 pm

I know it is "tomorrow", but is that at midnight tonight, midnight UTC (has that already occurred?) or some other time?

I am inferring that the genesis block will be from the last block timestamped before 9AM tomorrow. 

As far as launch goes.  Dan said that he will be posted the genesis on the forums to give us all a few hours to look it over before we go live.  I think he also stated that they would launch the network and make sure its functional before providing the seed node port so we could all connect to it.  How long all of this takes is anyone guess.

Our goal is to minimize downtime.

Genesis block will be produced tonight, and a patch applied tomorrow.   So you can check tonight and then verify the patch didn't change anything you cared about.

Awesome news.  I have moved all funds to my wallet, and am ready and waiting.  I'm kinda stupid excited.
