Haven Protocol Testnet Community Update
Round 1 of Testing has been completed!
Big thanks to our community testers for assisting us with testing and providing us with a lot of very useful feedback! Some testers were quick to show the wider community what we have been working so hard on:
Our community was instructed to test the following functionallity:
- Send XHV
- Receive XHV
- Send XHVD
- Receive XHVD
- Offshore XHV -> XHVD
- Onshore XHVD -> XHV
- Send Offshore XHV -> XHVD (to another address)
- Send Onshore XHVD -> XHV (to another address)
Also, they gave feedback on the process itself. A very positive result, although can always be improved. Very exciting to be able to see the offshore storage process working.
We did discover some visual bugs during testing which we are working on fixing for testing round 2. We have been heavily working on the actual functions rather than the wallet.
Wallet Design
We are very fortunate to have JuanTwo in the Haven Community. He has been working extremely hard to put together new design for the Haven Protocol wallet:
As Donjor and Havendev are both programmers first, having a designers eye is extremely important when creating UIs.
We have had more awesome responses from the community regarding the design which we are incorporating as much as we can into our future wallet.
Testnet Round 2:
We expect to start the 2nd round of testing this month. We are going to open up the testing to slightly more people. At this stage we need to be able to talk with everyone on a individual basis and slowly start to add more functionality.
We are going to have a public block explorer during the next testing phase so the entire community will be able to see the functioning chain at work.
What are we testing:
Similar to Round 1, we are wanting to test the basic sending, receiving and conversion functions and bug test the issues identified in the first round, notably:
- Confusing fee and returned change values in transaction history.
- Wallet transaction history visual bug (balances correct).
- Delay when entering values in offshore fields.
- No unmixable outputs to sweep error (due to new offshore transactions).
We also want to test out the block explorer and our UI changes. Once again, this will be a closed release with ~ 20 extra community members added.
Round 2 Release date:
Our aim for the release is September. Stay tuned for further updates from the Haven Protocol team!
Haven Protocol Community Alpha:
The Testnet for everyone!
After we are confident with the results of Round 2, we want to release a version for our wider community to interact with as soon as possible. This will be able to be downloaded by everyone!
Our aim for this release is October.
Testnet Future Goals/Tests
- Simulated exchange prices.
- Local node users daemon and gpu mining
- Offshore Storage Game theory testing.
- Local Haven Oracle node testing.
Glitch in the matrix?
An amusing TradeOrge glitch reported Haven’s price to be 7.6 BTC for a short time before being rectified.
iOS Update
We have an iOS version available, we just need to sort out publishing and closed testing with Apple. Unfortunately this is a bit difficult without being a registered company or exposing personal information. Working on a solution with our legal team!
