<h2>2019.02 report</h2>
<p>We had issues with using the Bitcoin testnet for DAO testing as one day 20 000 block got created which turned the block based timing for the phases un-usable. It showed again that testnet is not suitbale for application testing ;-(. We decided to move to a server based regtest mode as that was the fastest solution with least effort. Starting a private testnet would have caused more effort (seed node, fauce, miner, how to protect against asic causing the same issue...).<br>
This delayed the 0.9.4 release but it was good that it happened earlier rather then later when more users are testing the DAO.</p>
