Dear PRL Community,

Thank you so much for your support over the past  month. The effort that everyone has committed to raising awareness and promoting Oyster has been truly unmatched.

However, because of the rapid growth in the community, we have fallen slightly behind in releasing the testnet. Mainly, Bruno has been spending more time answering inquiries regarding how the protocol works, which has consumed a lot of his time for development. But fear not! The Oyster team is quickly coming into form with a handful of key hires made over the past week. Additionally, Oyster is looking into hiring developers to aid Bruno in the completion of the testnet. Right now, we are aiming for a January release for the testnet so that we can deliver a product that not only reflects our standards, but meets the standards of all those supporting us in the community.

There will be many ups and downs as we move forward with Oyster, but I can guarantee you that with the continued support of our amazing community, there is nothing but success in Oyster's future.

Thanks for all your support once again.

Currently, the only translation of the Oyster website is Chinese we are open to more. Also, the only version of WP we have at the moment is in English.

Yes, Sylon was paid.

I would like to point your attention to this excerpt from Malwarebytes blog:

The reason we block CoinHive is because there are site owners who do not ask for their users’ permission to start running CPU-gorging applications on their systems

Again oyster will have a user consent much like that of the Cookie Law. But ultimately this is up to each individual website. Yes people could block oyster from running in the browser like people block ads. But the website could respond by asking them to pay, or refusing to share your content.

Yes. All scripts can be stopped from running on a webpage. Oyster offers an alternative to ads which could potentially be malicious, and or be visually disruptive to the user. While also reducing storage costs. Oyster allows websites to have their own financial autonomy by not relying on monolithic advertising platforms like Google and Facebook. Any of these platforms can bully a website due to political motivations, whilst the advertisements themselves are rarely assertion-neutral

In the end users have no need to actually block Oyster, it will not impact there experience in any way. Computer, phone, tablet etc. will not be slowed down we have automatic measures in place. If the browser is starting to struggle a bit, the javascript will detect the performance in real time and govern the PoW so that it does not burden the browser or become sluggish

I hope this answers your questions have a nice day.

Here is malwarebytes blog post: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/2017/10/why-is-malwarebytes-blocking-coinhive/

Don't give away the free money 

Same here kinda annoying that it was extended two weeks. Would like to know the decision as to why.. Coin Schedule said over 97% of the 400M was reached?
