If you wanted to be early, this is super early. From Bruce:
"I don't want Contractless to be the next bitcoin. I don't want it to be the next smart contract platform.
I want it to be the next global payment system. The next version of money.
I want it to pick up where bitcoin left off when it stopped the narrative of peer to peer cash in favor of store of wealth.
I still love bitcoin and think it great for the world, but I don't think it is what it started out as, and thats what I want Contractless to become."

Get in touch if you want to spin up a test node. Apparently it's easy to do and doesn't require any special hardware; just a computer.
