Hi all, yes as @anon61899651 says, there was another thread here where David stated he hoped a testnet would be ready in a couple of weeks “but we will see”.
With the necessary switch to use lazy messaging, as detailed in last week’s update, this week was always a non-starter.
FYI, we had a team catch up today and things seem to be progressing well with the switch to lazy messaging, nothing has popped up that is blocking progress or causing concern…“but we will see” 
Full update on Thursday.
The Money Pit reference is only slightly ominous 
Cheer up - its only slightly ominous
Damn beat me to it

Getting so excited going through some off these changes. It still feels unreal sometime that we really are almost there! Reality is slowly kicking in, we, f*cking, did it.
I’m saying “we” as I really feel this community has been amazing in keeping this going, but man did the team do some amazing work.
It is my birthday week so you guys are good to go… 
What this thread needs right now is an “it’s happening” gif…
That’s got to be worth a few quid!
We need to get it on the test net and create an NFT with it!

Looks like a big update 
… and no update so far this week from StephenC 
It’s going to be a good week.
Maybe he’s been kidnapped to pump the price?
Gigantic update can’t be too much more remaining for a test net after looking at that update
New approach. I am staying out of it this week.
Maybe that is the key to success
I can predict a StephenC message: hello guys, this week still to early for testnet, hope next week!
Almost right, I predict 
(at least your first part)
Stop @Josh don’t don’t we will not make it this week
