Wagerr Q&A session today.......
Gatsby Great:
Q&A session with Wagerr Advisor @SuperTipstar
1) How did the testing go?
Still in progress.Core issues look very much solved.
2) Have any more spontaneous errors occurred during testing?
No.
3) Why are web tokens still locked?
It’s complicated.They were originally locked for security.The with release around the corner it didn’t make sense to unlock them when we would have a portal for the token swap direct from the site on release.I believe that’s the current thought.Nobody expected a delay of this kind.
4) When will you release the coins?
Likely on release for the token swap.
5) Time frame for release?Days/weeks?
Not weeks, but the release date will likely be a minimum of 3 days after the announcement of a date (which comes on completion of testing).
6) Possible to expect H2H betting by World Cup time?
Heed 2 head will need a large testing period on public testnet (personally I would want a month of largely flawless test bets before release), but yes the World Cup is a definite target.
7) What kinds of tests are being run today, entirely manual or is there a comprehensive automated suite?
Both manual and automated.At the same time there is not a “comprehensive automated suite”.Hiring an entire system test team would be a waste at this point.
8) How large is the dev team currently?
Core dev team is more than 7 people.
9) How soon after release will the code be made open source?
Open source on release.
10) Going forward is there a plan to improve communications?
Yes.Believe it or not we have improved communication from four months ago.We are very aware that it has not been enough and plans are in place to improve again after release.Right now release is the focus.I would like to see a weekly newsletter/update ala Oceanlab, and a weekly 1 hour Q&A somewhat like this in a dedicated channel on Discord with the team members rotating each week.If you have more ideas please DM me.We want to improve.
11) Are you confident this product will achieve what’s laid out in the whitepaper?
Absolutely.
12) Do we have multiple dev teams?If so what is the total number of devs working on this?
Yes.Total number of devs is fluid as we have been constantly hiring.10+.We have devs currently working on the betting side of things too.
13) How come it would need such a large test H2H on the testnet prior to actually taking bets?
Before switching over to “real” WGR where there is a real loss on any sort of error you need to have tested thoroughly.Internal testing is not enough when it comes to that.It needs to be flawless and undergo strenuous public testing.
Head 2 Head status is in development.I would like to see it on testnet within a month of release.However Oracles are deployed in 3 phases, so the proper answer is however long it takes to get those out.3 phases being: fixturing, resulting, formation of contracts.
14) H2H on mainnet is supposed to be late Q1 2018. You have not even started the regular fork mainnet and said you hope to see testnet betting one month after release.There is no chance you can meet Q1 deadline.Adjusting the roadmap to prevent future disappointments and missed deadlines seems appropriate.
Roadmap is Q1, publicly we have been saying March to May target for H2H betting.Could be Q1.
15) Any talks with teams or people to sponsor Wagerr?
Yes!Very excited about that actually.Private for now though, sorry.
16) Will there be partnerships announced on launch?
No
17) Are you planning/willing to pay for listing on any exchanges after mainnet?We know it’s not cheap.
We are not unwilling.Nobody will touch the token while it is a temporary one.
18) January 15th has come and gone, communication has been sparse.I still believe in the project, the team, and continue to hope for the best.Are we getting our “January 15th” launch sometime this month?
Hard to say given that it’s the 25th and weekend approaches.I would hope for the first week in February.
19) Could you repeat the above in plain English
(soz, that's just me taking the piss lol)
