It is live and functioning on the test net. They are mostly polishing and getting better UI in place in prep for a launch later this year.
Honestly, a lot of these customer facing DApps need the massive Mist browser update coming in Metropolis to be meaningful.
Ya man, WTF is going on with Augur after 18 months.
Betting on a binary outcome is not exactly new or rocket science...
And the last time I looked at the Augur "test net" site (a month ago)... it looked like something you could wip up in a hackathon.
Oh well, another $50 million down the drain...
For a gambling site planned by some 20 somethings that seem to know nothing about the gambling world...
And think semantics like "prediction markets" and "wisdom of crowds" will shield them from US anti-gambling laws.
I'm not sure if referencing Mist (or what today is called Ethereum Wallet 0.7.3) is helpful...
Since even the latest build is bug-ridden and clunky (I run 2 of them continuously, with or without GETH)...
It has trouble finding peers and staying connected to the network with no solutions in sight.
Basically, starting with Homestead ETH, etc...
I have yet to run anything produced by Ethereum Group that was reliable and user-friendly...
Say, on the order of the Top 10,000 free, reliable shareware apps you can download.
If ANY shareware app behaved as badly as official Ethereum software... I would instantly uninstall it.
Augur could still be the big loser here...
If Roger Ver puts some financial muscle behind Hivemind... look out.
