Few weeks ago i was reading about the new Lighthouse project from Mike Hearn...He won the bounty for it and it should be launched around august i think (i am not sure), but i didn't read or heard anything since that time about launching the Lighthouse...About OpenBazaar, there is almost every week some news, nothing about Lighthouse....So what happened? Did i miss something?

Thank you people

What is the Lighthouse project?

Open-source decentralized Kickstarter for bitcoin core development and other related projects

I'm a bit curious on the status of Lighthouse as well
According to the Github Mike is still uploading code there the most recent addition was two days ago

yes there was a lot of hype but I have never heard much after they won the money.

It looks like lighthouse was launched.

I'm thinking about giving it a try... Anyone used it yet or tried it?

I was trying it out. I think my Bitcoins are stuck. I clicked on empty wallet and entered my address now it's showing 0 balance and my Bitcoins are still at the address I first sent them to.
