Beta Release #2

This is the second release of the core code base as part of the on-going Temporal beta phase. It represents a huge step up in code quality, usability, and test coverage, along with integrations with tooling like codecov, and travis. Temporal still has a lot of work to be done, but there has been tremendous progress made in the last two months.

There is also an on-going effort to choose the right open-source license for Temporal; One that benefits RTrade Technologies Ltd and secures our intellectual property, but also one that allows people to use our work to build new and exciting projects. However the license we choose must also respect the licensing rights and works of other developers who have worked hard on the open-source projects Temporal uses. To make this process easier, we have integrated with the FOSSA System. This is an on-going effort and will be completed before we release our first production version of Temporal, currently slated for December 31st 2018.

We now also have a reproducible environment that can be used to test Temporal locally on your own machines, and to make it easier to develop applications on-top of Temporal.

Simultaneously, we are working on a web interface for Temporal, allowing ease of use of the supported technologies. The web interface currently connects to our staging Temporal instance, hosted in our own facilities. There is also experimental support serving Temporal as an eepsite over I2P. Eventually we might also serve Temporal itself over I2P, as opposed to just the web interface.

As mentioned earlier, Temporal is currently slated for a production release December 31st 2018, which will include integrations with cryptocurrency payment methods. We are currently on schedule to meet this, and are perhaps even slightly ahead of schedule!

I'd like to personally give a shout out to @bobheadxi for the amazing work he has done with helping to make this release as big as it is; And to @pseudonaut for the wicked frontend.
