  We're here! Unfortunately I'm terrible at social media and especially blogging, so from the outside we must seem pretty dead. See my response to GP, but basically we've pumped the brakes a bit after a small initial beta roll-out in order to ensure we are accurately modeling the detector response to muons. This is essential to ensure we're not throwing the baby out with the bathwater when deciding which data to keep (i.e. upload to the server). Since we scan HD video at ~30fps to look for the cosmic ray signatures, we have to very aggressively throw away uninteresting data in order to keep the data rates reasonable. If anyone here is really interested in giving the beta test a go (android only for now), feel free to email me directly (look elsewhere in the thread for my address). It would be good to hear some feedback from the pro hackers here on hn :)
