I'll be waiting for the windows wallet for the genesis block 0 mainnet

Mainnet 16 Jan 00:01 UTC.

Cool thanks for update

[bitmonero]

switch to the mainnet at Jan 16 21:00 UTC

stop the node.
rm old data.
run the command without peers (will use default peers from the code)

./build/Darwin/master/release/bin/monerod \
  --data-dir ~/.monero-newnet-main \
  --no-igd --disable-dns-checkpoints --check-updates disabled


if you already generated wallet for testnet it is compatible for the mainnet as well. you can reuse or create the new one.
