Hi everyone.
As promised, here's another 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![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKErmQ5n.png&t=665&c=KLegDQURYd9Bhg)
The multinode system has been implemented and tested.

Obfuscation of the transaction amount has been implemented and tested.
All scripts for running the anon transactions on a multinode system and all obfuscation methods have now been written.
Testing has occurred and we're happy with how this is running.
Stage 4 - In Progress![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLrkbqXL.png&t=665&c=oSlz8UwY3iHRdQ)
Distribute finished code to all of our anonymous nodes
Stage 5 - Pending![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLrkbqXL.png&t=665&c=oSlz8UwY3iHRdQ)
Make final update to the transaction UI in the beta wallet to enable random node selection
Stage 6 - PendingRelease the beta wallet to the public on 1 Feb 2015
--
My testing has gone well over the last 24 hours. I believe I have found and fixed most of the bugs. We are currently rolling the finished code out across all of our anon nodes.
Once this is done, we will test the random selection of nodes, then integrate the node selection into the Wallet.
As you can see I have adjusted the stages slightly. We have decided to hold off on adding SSL and encryption until after the beta test is complete.
This is so we are more easily able to debug what is happening if anyone runs into errors during the testing phase.
We will implement the encryption before the final release obviously.
We are still on track for a Feb 1 2015 Release date for the Anon Beta Network!
Cheers & Remember - Don't feed the trolls.
Pakage.
