Going live for Easter 04/12/2020

hi everybody this is Charles Hoskinson broadcasting live from warm sunny Colorado I decided to make a slight change of things I shaved I shave about once a year and I gained about 20 years back so people go from saying I'm in my 40s till I'm 25 so some days it's good to look young although we're still under quarantine and there's there's nowhere to go but at least I can entertain myself and you can see I put on pretty heavy beards so I shaved about 12 hours ago I already have a 5 o'clock after shadow ready to go so I guess I'll have to shave every day if I want to keep this anyway I just want to talk a bit about Byron and Shelley right now as many of you are aware we're right in the middle of the pirate reboot it's been rolling out pretty successfully we've released to fly candidates another flight candidates coming out next week we've already made some considerable improvements on the windows side of things and syncing times in general anywhere between 30 to 50% for most users we also noticed that there were some network issues on windows that needed to be plugged up mostly because our development environment development approach starts with Linux and Mac and then we work our way to Windows so there's always going to be with that development paradigm some rough edges with the first generation on Windows but this is more of an interoperability thing than a design issue and so it just takes a little bit of time to clean things up here and there so Thursday we cut card out node 1.10 with all those windows improvements and they're gonna work their way into the deados flight release candidate we were planning on releasing on Friday that flight candidate but that was good Friday and Friday and Monday or holiday days for many people so will likely cut that release on Tuesday Wednesday and if everything looks good then the following week will go ahead and update the maintenance to absorb all of the flight improvements and given this extra time since the 31st we've been able to add a few more things in and it's a pretty substantial upgrade for most people all of our users have reported improvements even the Windows users and we've gotten a lot of great feedback data we've also replaced two of the core consensus notes so we're running two of the seven core consensus notes with the new reboot code and the reloop plays as well so for those who aren't aware of the network stack that we use and by road reboot is actually the same name or extent that we intend on using with Shelly so we're actually now testing Shelly infrastructure lives on main that and there's other things the wallet backend design that we have is the same wallet back-end that will be used for Shelly we've already dearest all of those features with the ITN the user experience for Shelly will be relatively the same on Dedalus aside with the ITN so that's been dearest and it's ready to go literally they just have to turn them on so they're waiting for the wallet back-end to be fully integrated with the Haskell node and for Shelly node to be turned on so we're very very close to everything basically pulling its way together reboot was really the the big thing because that was like eighteen months of work in different silos having to all come together and work together and basically now that that is underway and it's percolating throughout the network all throughout April that d risks all of the components that we now need to pull together for Shelly so we should have a working shelly node where we pull those pieces together on the Haskell side fairly soon internally and what we're going to do is we're going to have the biggest stateful operators one who's been really loyal and passionate and just showed up every day regardless of the quality of the software on the itn side be the early adopters of that Haskell internal node so we'll have a node plus a CLI for them and working together we will be able to make sure that they're having a good time and that what we think is true is true and of course it gives them an opportunity to ask a lot of questions about how things are going to work and that's basically our first training set then once we've pulled in more pieces together then we're going to open it up to a Janelle general test net across all of Cardinal and the next wave of people can come in and then they can get support from Cardinal from IEEE which K as well as our ambassadors and the the early state full of doctors to help configure so that will constitute making sure that we can move everybody from the ITN who is an operational roll over to the Haskell side then the next test net will basically be when we connect the wallet back end to the Cardinal node and that will be the balance check so basically what that allow you to do is enter into your client software your keywords and you should be able to restore your main net wallet and you should be able to restore the test net earnings that you have and consolidate both of those together so the reason we're doing this is that as if we do it as a test net it gives us the ability if there's a mismatch if you think you earned more but for some reason it's it's not matching with our reporting it gives us an opportunity to investigate that and see if it was an accounting error or there was something wrong with how we did the UT Excel port because we won't be able to do any changes once it hits main net so we'll run that for a little bit once we're comfortable with it and all the pieces come together then we've started the shell ii-era we'll just turn it on for the for the main net the audit from route 9b is is under remediation at the moment and we should have most if not all of that done April 17 so that's in five days so with any luck if we can get permission from route 9 beed we should be able the following Monday to release the audit report publicly there may be a little bit of a delay there just depending upon wording and communication but then you can see what they said about the protocol and you can see that they confirm that we fix the problems that they stated now this is the first audit that route 9b has done for us and it was a very good audit it's a static audit but there's a more significant audit that they could do which is much deeper and contains more dynamic actions and really get into the nuts and bolts of the design of the protocols and the software and at the moment negotiations have started between the Cardinal foundation and route 9b to engage in that audit it's quite expensive it's a six-figure sum but you generally do this once every generation so Shelly is such a major milestone it makes a lot of sense but it wouldn't make sense for something like ogen for example but if we a card on Oh 2.
