Some updates / notes
Launch date: An understandable common question is when are we launching. Our intention was to launch this month, but that has now been pushed back slightly. The first thing to reiterate is its in our best interest more than anyone else in the world, to launch today if we could. There is zero benefit in the team delaying the launch beyond for the benefit of the project. One of the things we've noticed in crypto is that narratives follow cycles....in every single ecosystem or project. I won't mention names but you can virtually go to any pre launch company in crypto - go to their community, and its the same / similar questions being asked.
The cycle works something like..
*.1. Pre launch everyone hammers the team pushing for a fast launch so they can 5x their bags (which makes sense). 2. The team then forces through a faster date due to complaints, meaning the product is either not ready, or there is a flaw somewhere which will come back to bite the project later. 3. Users complain about the company not having products working properly / at all and leaves for the next hype cycle.*
It's important to not get caught in these cycles - it doesn't benefit the project, the users, nor the holders. Our values is focused towards innovation and development. Its why we're in 2023, and this is still the first live TV network with underlying blockchain technology - because its not easy to do, and its not something that can just have a token thrown out onto exchanges without significant infrastructure and analysis around it. Fortunately we have nearly all but all finished on this cycle - but its important to reiterate - this is a TV network - not a simple defi swapping app, not a copy of an existing project like 99% of companies are - so things take time, we've been building this for 18 months+ and counting.
However, we are completely understanding to any frustrations - but please understand that its *all in good time* and the launch date update is imminent. To clarify it will 100% be this summer, but the exact fixed date will follow in due course. Those who follow Script Network can see we are very very close, but due to some teething issues and delays out of our control, we had to delay our launch date. We apologise for this delay however, we are actually annoyed that we weren't able to launch in the exact time we said we would, but its common in every industry to have launch delays, and to be honest, is never seen as a negative outside of web3 (Apple Vision Pro is being released 5 years later than planned, 10 years in the making)
In the meantime, we have updates galore here and across our socials
Other notes...
Testnet: If you have a @ Validator node role on discord, you now have tokens deposited in order to run a validator node - let us know if you have any queries on this by heading to the #🤙︱testnet-feedback channel
If you are looking to run a
Lightning node, you will have the tokens over the coming hours in your Script Wallet. The reason why Validator and Lightning node process is manual is due to the amount of users requesting from faucet exceeding the total supply of the token - leading to the faucet crashing. I guess this is a good problem to have of course - but to ensure everyone has a smooth testnet, we had to restrict it as such.
If you're looking to run a
Edge Node, you can simply just request Edge node tokens from faucet as per previous instructions.
To receive @ v2 Lightning Node and @ v2 Script Edge Node roles on discord - head to Zealy to complete the respective tasks (there is no new role for v2.5)
GLASSPASS: Lastly, If you're on the WL to mint a GLASSPASS you should have the
@scriptlistverified role. If you have a @ scriptlist role please ensure you verify in the scriptlist channel on discord ASAP
So much more to say but will save it for the next announcement in the next few days as we are @ limit!
