Thank you to @ravonn and all the other devs for their hard work on this fantastic project. I am honored to be selected for this role.
For anyone out there who wants to help with testing the newest releases on testnet, feel free to join the #testnet channel on the Gridcoin Slack and we'll get you up and running. If you need an invite to the Slack, reply to this comment or PM me on reddit for an invite link.
First of all, congrats @barton26! This is very good news.
I think it would be useful if you could provide regular updates on other platforms (like Steemit) so people can follow, with little effort, the progress. The more we engage with the community, but also investors, the better for Gridcoin. I'm more than happy to help here if needed.
I definitely agree that more communication regarding testnet status is needed on other platforms. I am currently making an effort to port a lot of the resources over to Rocket Chat and hopefully I can create a "Getting Starting" guide for testnet on Steemit soon.
Thumbs up!
You certainly are needed. But slack again?
I already wrote half a year ago that it is not a good idea to put everything on something nearly nobody knows and not longer communicate on the channels people are used to and can watch without installing and signing up something...
There aren't even version updates in the "main" forum thread anymore!!
Also when that move to slack came I installed slack, but after 2-3 weeks of exactly nothing I stopped opening that thing every day.
But I will give it a second try.
edit: I don't even see a testnet channel sigh
I am also in the process of moving testnet resources to Rocket Chat and in the future I will be compiling a "Getting Started" guide for testnet on Steemit.
I just invited you to the testnet channel.
