Particl Open Marketplace Development Update
If you’ve seen the latest Particl Open Marketplace update posted on #progress-updates , it mentioned the Particl developers were busy fixing a market startup and switching bug before pushing the build out to the public. Well, we are excited to announce that the issue has now been resolved and the build is currently being compiled and prepared for release tomorrow. That means a few things:
1) The testnet build is going to come out tomorrow. It will include all the bug fixes identified during the last testnet run, as well as a couple of improvements that have been suggested by some of you! Also, and probably more importantly, this build will contain the fully anonymous escrow system powered by RingCT!
2) The Particl Open Marketplace will move up to mainnet on the 12th of August! :tada:
3) The testnet bug bounty will be shortened up so that the Open Marketplace can effectively move up to mainnet on the 12th of August. Instead of running for two weeks, it will run for a duration of 7 days. The Particl developers are quite confident in the stability of the build, hence why it’s been opted to shorten the duration of the bug bounty in favor of keeping the 12th of August launch date.
4) A permanent mainnet bug bounty will also be issued tomorrow. This will allow anyone that finds a mainnet bug on Particl to be properly compensated for their disclosure. It will also provide a clear framework on how to disclose bugs properly.
5) The most exciting part of it: on the 12th of August, it will now be possible to safely buy and sell goods and services, in full anonymity, on the Particl Open Marketplace using real funds! :rocket:
So here we are, after years of blood, sweat, and tears, in the last mile leading up to the release of the marketplace. Let’s get as many testers as possible in the next few days to make sure all the bugs are effectively fixed, and let’s rock it! This marks a very important moment in the history of Particl, and from here on out, it will get very, very interesting!
A project update, with every single detail you need to know, will be posted on particl.news tomorrow, so keep an eye out! :eyes:
Disclaimer: If a significant bug were to be found during this testnet run, it would need to be fixed prior to the release, which may affect the launch date.
MARKETPLACE GOES LIVE 12th AUGUST 2019
