Qtum Community & Development Updates — August 28

https://medium.com/@Qtum/qtum-community-development-updates-august-28-b8e87411753


Main Network Launches September 13th, 2017


The Qtum Team would like to officially announce the release of our Main Network for September 13th. This will take place right before Wanxiang’s Blockchain Conference. Qtum’s Mainnet will be the follow up to our ‘Skynet’ release earlier in August. Qtum will feature the functionality found in Skynet, like the Decentralized Governance Protocol, EVM on UTXO, Proof-of-Stake Consensus, and mobile smart contract functionality.

This is a major milestone for the Qtum project, as this is a group of blockchain enthusiasts turning a dream into reality. Making this happen would not be possible without the 18 months of hard work that went into this from our 30+ team members. This is just the start of what we have coming. Qtum’s development plans requires many years to fulfill, so keep an eye on our road map in the months to come.

For those of you who have been following the project since early 2017, you know we fought a hard battle to get here, so thank you for the support.
There will be a launch event in Shanghai on the 13th, seating is extremely limited, but we will do our best to live steam it around the world. Please keep in mind that the state of high speed internet in China is a huge challenge, so we may have to release a recorded version after.

Updated Development Roadmap

Development Updates:

Releases:

Skynet testnet-2 v1.2 was released — A mandatory update that fixes several minor consensus bugs and some major staking/block creation bugs

https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases/


Bugs fixed:
[Consensus/AAL] Fixed a bug where 2 successive contract transactions that caused 2 successive OP_SPEND transactions would not be allowed
[Consensus/EVM] Fixed a bug where block.difficulty in the EVM would give incorrect results
[Consensus] Added several new rules to check the size of various fields in contract transactions and properly reject poorly formatted transactions
[Consensus] Added several overflow checks for gasLimit, gasPrice, and gasLimit multiplied by gasPrice
[Consensus] Fixed some contract parameter parsing code to not rely on unintialized variables, causing undefined behavior
[Staker/EVM] Fixed a bug where a contract execution would see different block times than at validation, producing broken blocks in the staker


Work completed:


[GUI] Fixed several minor issue with the smart contract GUI
[Misc] Setup an actual `-testnet` mode for Skynet testnet-2
[Staker] Added some undocumented command line arguments to make the staker work in various emergency conditions
[Build] Fix a minor compiler warning for the new GUI changes
[AAL] Added several new error messages to aid in debugging
[Consensus] Change several consensus rules from asserts to DoS errors, so that they can not be used to shut down a node
[Misc] Bumped the version of the Skynet wallet to v0.14.2
[Consensus/Misc] Qtum now tracks the coin supply of the blockchain, and implements a sanity check to ensure that more coins are not minted than expected

Very good info, thanks

I must admit that I've had my share of skepticism for this project at the beginning when all the fud started.  However the team handled it 100% the right way.  They didn't debate and go back and forth and instead just kept moving ahead.  They never missed an update or a deadline.  Look at all the projects in Crypto that are constantly sidelined, delayed, or have devs that go ghost.  Qtum has hit every target so far on their timeline and are even releasing their mainnet ahead of schedule.  To be ahead of schedule in this space, is very very very RARE.  They've constantly provided updates at every turn and have in the end churned out a very promising project and potential real competitor to Ethereum.  I heard that there are 17 projects releasing on qtum, no project but ETH can boast these numbers.  Congrats to the team.

So why are we dipping so deep now then?

I think the same. Wait a bit. Let the stupid FUD go away  and look at the achievements. I see this coin growing x10 the next 12 months if the team delivers what they promising on the Roadmap.

the coin is very interesting and the team needs to be successful if it is fruitful work, but time is relentless and coins very much, soon will be hard to do x10 just on the news...

So why are we dipping so deep now then?

it's b/c of all the uncertainty with the Chinese government.  They just announced that they are considering suspending all ICOs.  It's very bad timing, otherwise I believe we would have seen a big bull run.

I think QTUM drop in price is trying to give me a second chance to enter the moving train.
I love it...

QTUM should be releasing some news soon, I mean it has a lot of good partners like Alibaba , but I guess we will have to wait and see where that will take the crypto But it definitely is just waiting for the right time to make it's move.

Unless you know something we don't, we're not partnered with Alibaba. I think what you might referring to is Patrick's work history at that company.

Qtum is really promising one I also like the spirit the of devs team how they build this system under the huge FUD storm while everybody were commenting negative about the future of this project. I also think ICO investors will be richer in coming days next month is about to start very soon.
