[x] New spec
[x] Rebuild with changing bin from geth to gmc
[x] Setting up 2 basic boot nodes
[x] testing gmc clients on discovering and syncing
[x] defining new Parity spec into mc.json
[x] Parity syncing test
[x] Orbiter test (http://104.199.113.25:3000/home )
[x] tx test with stress
[x] smart contracts test
[x] gas limitation test
[x] CI and deployment test, musicoin.org, api.musicoin.org and orbiter.musicoin.org
[x] final test from scratch (redo the check list to make sure they work as expected)
[x] ready to release

There will be some boot nodes set up in the new chain, the boot nodes are different from full-fledged node,running much more lightweighted peer discovering protocol. It will help connect more nodes once a new peer join the network and balance the connectivity without putting big throughput into one/two peers. However, I'm still thinking of the necessity of a simple client app to enable mining and checking balance, as well tipping, it'd much easier to advocate the whole picture.

two big issues found before final testing:

there's a split chain after running for several days
the bootnodes not serving for musicoin network only but the whole ethereum network, which leads to a polluted nodes pool and malfunctioning to serve musicoin network with new peers.

trying to switch to Ethereum Classic to see if it's the DAO-hardfork reason leads to this inconsistency, it's very much related from speculation by far. Damn the DAO and Ethereum Foundation.

got some positive test result with ETC, the same time found the key issue with ETH geth as well, nevertheless, may stick with ETC for it's neatness.

The final sequence on 2/10:

[x] Confirm boot nodes are running properly, double confirmation
[x] Running up 3 seed nodes from scratch, double confirm they are connected to each other
[x] Running up 6 miners to bootstrap the network, make sure they are all connected and then kickoff mining simultaneously
[x] Announcing the chain (Twitter, bitcointalk)
[x] Running up orbiter node with a clean slate, in parity and confirm it's connected with other nodes (add node as peer of seeders), popping up orbiter domain name.
[x] Announcing the orbiter.

let me know ur ideas, @phiferd

We will also need to capture accounts and their credentials and initiate some transactions on the network. If we have the accounts ahead of time, I should be able to get most of the work done for api.musicoin.org.
