I got a confirmation from cryptsy that HZ will be added after the 5.0 fork. That's not my main focus though
As bit1 said, after the distribution is over we will have to find new ways to reach new users, keep up the transaction count to give back a bit to our forgers, and get funds to incentivize developers.
A lot of people here got afraid of the foundation after I announced it, but only a handful even took the time to only have a look at it from the inside. For HZ to be successful in the future, we need participation from its community. I just posted this on facebook:
The Horizon foundation is ready to start its work, help us form the future of cryptocurrencies!
The HZ foundation is the base for all future development on HZ core and shall provide a meeting point for everyone involved and interested in where Horizon will go after distribution is finished.
We currently have a general discussions room, and one for each bitnation, blocknet and hzxchange. Only development happens in two private rooms, and anyone interested in contributing can ask to be added there. That's all right now, new rooms will be created as the need emerges.
All our work focuses on the release of HZ 5.0 right now, which will catch up with NXT 1.5.x and bring along further UI improvements.
Although we have some ideas and code around for new features and services, our capacities are very limited and we cannot release them without extending the team. Which is something we'd love to do, as soon as we find a capable developer willing to work in return for a bit of a completely underrated cryptocurrency. If you know someone with Java, javascript, python, ruby, wordpress, design, or other useful skills send them our way. If you don't, think about how you could get involved in another way. And if it's just giving your qualified opinion
