15:54:56 <br-m> <mahanr:matrix.org> v19 for the public is expected to release before or after 1 January 2027? > <@jberman> me: progressing FCMP++ integration audit, continuing on a fix for a hanging shutdown in monerod (PR should be ready today)
16:26:04 <br-m> <jberman> Aiming to start the beta network before 5/1/26, and audits are either in flight or kicking off. We're being meticulous to ensure both the protocol, implementation, and integration are fit to secure people's life savings and perform smoothly under load, and we're making steady progress. Honestly, I don't think it's wise for us to give another firm date on mainnet release
16:26:23 <br-m> <jberman> Hopefully beta goes well considering the significant work we've already put into the alpha network, and that should help clear a steady path to testnet -> mainnet
21:29:13 <br-m> <ewbld:matrix.org> @jberman:monero.social: Thank you . You're doing very important work in a world where personal privacy is becoming an increasingly rare commodity.
