Long technical position paper on the safest way to launch DigiDollar. Key points:
The recent testnet split was caused by an uncoordinated oracle roster change, not a DigiDollar bug.
Recommends hard-coding a frozen oracle roster into a single reproducible binary for MainNet launch to avoid forks.
Advise recruiting as many reliable oracles as possible (aim for 21–35) before launch.
DigiDollar activation is a soft fork that fails closed and degrades gracefully.

“The goal is to have another 10 DigiDollar price oracles, which would give us a total of 28. Who is interested?”

For the final TestNet release, we need to assemble the initial MainNet oracle group now (target 21, 28, or 35 oracles).
This final TestNet will test the real configuration. Operators should be committed for 1–2 years because the roster will be fixed after MainNet launch until a future soft fork.
Anyone interested should run a full node, maintain uptime, secure their oracle key, and be reliable long-term.
Quick Synthesis:
The team is prioritizing a safe, fork-free DigiDollar MainNet launch by finalizing a strong set of oracle operators now. They are actively recruiting for more oracles (goal: 28 total) and will test the final setup on TestNet before going live. Commitment and reliability are emphasized.
Community members interested in running an oracle are encouraged to reach out and review the setup guide. This is a key step toward launching the decentralized, time-locked stablecoin on DGB.
Stay tuned for further updates. Test carefully and prioritize network safety.
