Dig is a hub blockchain that interconnects physical plots of land, which will each be governed by a locally operated blockchain. Due to the regulatory challenges involved, dig splits itself up into many chains which can each follow appropriate legislation. This is the beginning of the "Dig Network."
Here's a little light background reading:

Testnet two launched August 15-16.
We will need a testnet three becuase we'd like to use sign-mode EIP and that will require testing. It will allow ethereum formatted addresses to be used natively on dig.
We are currently on testnet-2 and the master branch reflects that. Work on testnet-3 is in the branch testnet-3. Genesis state can be found on ipfs at:

on a cosmos network, if you go offline while validating, you go to jail and are slashed 1% of delegated stake.
but it doesn't matter if you go offline, not really. The key thing is to have 2/3rds of total delegated stake online continuously.
You won't be slashed for going offline on dig, but you will go to jail. Later, dig will check itself like: am I a validator? am I in jail?
and if dig is in jail it'll unjail itself. This will involve the use of a less-secure wallet that is kept in the filesystem to be used for this purpose only. Getting out of jail will be cheap.
double signing
Signing the same block twice with the same key is even more heavily punished on Dig. We think that you should keep your keys close to your chest. I am typing this on my validator, by the way. It's a MacBook.
Genesis Transactions for Testnet-2 are now closed. If Testnet-2 functions as desired, there will be no Testnet-3
If you are using ubuntu, please do not use its native golang package, it is two years old. Instead:

go mod tidy

- Software-wise, dig is a monorepo. All of its essential code lives in this repository:
- Genesis
- Go App Code
- Javascript Front End Code
- Mobile App
- Block explorer
function
-
The dig mainnet is as minimal as possible. While we may add a few things before mainnet, it's our preference to remove things. The dig mainnet is for coordinating the efforts of like-minded people who'd like to see:
- Liquid Land: Blockchain style real estate investing
- Charter Cities: Land where the rules are laid out on the chain that constitutes them
- Hierarchical transparent governance: The trouble with hierarchical orgs is opacity, not hierarchy itself.
- Research and development of blockchain governance in physical and virtual spaces.
-
Chains in the dig network will launch from the code in this repository, as well.
We're comitted to transparency in all matters, including the composition of genesis allocations. Dig has raised $0. Adam has funded development work. If we take funding, informaiton on that will go right here. We will only accept funding from parties who are aligned with the long-term vision of the project and willing to have their tokens on exactly the same terms as those who get them in an airdrop.

Testnet-1: Results showed that we needed to work on the genesis parameters in Testnet-2
-
Omniflix Testnet-1: Participating in the OmniFlix testnet proved the viablity of a large validator set. Testnet-2 allows 500 validators.
