A few updates from the dev team.
- daemon builds are finalized and will be released in the next couple of days! Miners, developers, exchanges, and esteem community members, let's aim for 1000 full nodes for a more stable and secure network to be running
**In perspective, BTC has over 9000 and BCH has over 2000 (numbers from <https://coin.dance/nodes>)*
- to run your own node, we will make a separate announcement with a blog post, please stay tuned!
- `TESTNET` is also `LIVE`! Fellow devs join #testnet for further discussions *(faucet is still in the making but you can technically mine for some coins)*.
- current block height is at **525,012** after the dev team had mined a few blocks to make sure that new blocks that have been mined are accepted by the network.
- miners please join #mining-pool to discuss more about mining. The devs are ready to provide support as this is important for development and functioning of **WALLETS**.
*IF THERE'RE NOT ENOUGH MINERS THE CONTRIBUTORS AND TEAM WILL START MINING TO SUPPORT THE RELEASE OF WALLETS.*
