Hi everyone.
As promised, here's an update on how things are shaping up for the start of our beta test of the Anon network:
Stage 1 - Completed![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKErmQ5n.png&t=665&c=KLegDQURYd9Bhg)
Navajo Anon Beta master nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.

Navajo Subchain nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.

The anonymous transaction script is consistently working.
Currently, coin's sent to the entry node have their transaction information passed through the subchain and out the exit node as per the white paper.
This is working in real time and has been operating flawlessly.
Stage 2 - Completed![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKErmQ5n.png&t=665&c=KLegDQURYd9Bhg)
Multiple entry and exit nodes have been set up.

Architecture for a multinode system has been established and peer reviewed.

Architecture for obfuscation of transaction amount has been established and peer reviewed.
Stage 3 - Completed (Testing)![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKErmQ5n.png&t=665&c=KLegDQURYd9Bhg)
The multinode system has been implemented and is now being tested.

Obfuscation of the transaction amount has been implemented and is now being tested.
All scripts for running the anon transactions on a multinode system and all obfuscation methods have now been written.
These are being run through a testing phase to try and eliminate any bugs.
Stage 4 - Pending![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLrkbqXL.png&t=665&c=oSlz8UwY3iHRdQ)
Add an encryption layer on top of all node & wallet communications.
Stage 5 - Pending![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLrkbqXL.png&t=665&c=oSlz8UwY3iHRdQ)
Release to the public for mass testing of load / performance on the anon network.

Everything is making sense and seems to be working well. I will thoroughly test the multinode & obfuscation code over the next 24 hours as it is quite complicated.
After my testing is proven satisfactory, I will move on to the double encryption and then make the final tweaks to the wallet client.
We are still on track to having the beta network launched at the end of this month as planned.
I hope this is good news for everyone. Our team has a big few days ahead of us so please bear with us.
Cheers & Happy Trading.
Pakage.
