user938: In a recent blog post by IOG (link) the roadmap indicated the Pioneer testnet would go live mid-April to the start of May. Is anyone able to comment/update us on when the testnet will go live?

user67: There is currently no announcement regarding a date. I have seen rumours that the Plutus Pioneer testnet is already up and running (probably caused by a web page that displays timers at certain milestones) - this is not true.
