4/30/2018 - BP Random pool update:

Boy Maas / EOS Amsterdam: 29-April-2018
The team is converging and testing different technical options to do a launch sequence exercise. EOS Amsterdam took an initiative to jointly develop build/launch and boot scripts, this was rejected as it would automate too much taking away the learning experience.

Bohdan / CryptoLions took the initiative to run a Trinity testnet based on the shared sheet, making sure a network of 21 can be formed and all producers complete their information.

As the goal from our perception is to actually define the steps and exercise the orchestration of a launch sequence, EOS Amsterdam wrote a proposal to agree on the steps and requirements to do an actual launch exercise. You can find the document here, we still have to agree on some elements in the process, we need some more input. The next step, from our point of view, will be to coordinate participants and actually perform the launch and let everybody run the boot process, and do post-boot verification (which still has to be defined).

Interesting communication situation occurred, from 29-april 01:00
As you can see below, I tried to answer Hive account@eosrio to coordinate a setting called “peer-key” and suddenly my telegram was in connection state. Essentially cutting of communication for the red areas in the communication map from the rest. For this we have added the requirement to exchange secondary communication channels, for example a closed discord group.
