Good morning / afternoon /evening / night,
Here is your weekly update from The Team.
It's been a pretty busy week over here with LOTS of business updates; we currently have three projects in the "in flight" status on our opportunity tracking software which means they are nearing the end of negotiations and should our proposals be accepted we can move to legal and then to ANNOUNCE and I know that is the most exciting part for all of you.
Talking of deals we are now actively working with WOOOBA on WBX (White paper here --->
http://jump.woooba.com/wooobux/) which is the coin, and also integrating BiT and myBlockpool into their application. They themselves are suffering from the same NDA issues as we are but many announcements are expected before Christmas from them, which will impact well on Blockpool.
As I type this I have been informed that the WBX testnet is up and running and forging correctly; the work on the WBX testnet was also our testbed for our auto-updating node code, to allow us to deploy urgent changes to our delegate network without the (very minor because we worked hard to make it so, but still present) pain of the update to change Port Number for BPL. This is undergoing rigorous testing and will be held back from BPL code until we are 100% sure it is working fully however it should begin testing on WBX in the next week.
BPL and exchanges - BPL has been listed on Cryptopia for a while now, and COSS.io for a couple of weeks, but we are still pursuing alternatives and would like to expand that offering as soon as possible. Any progress on this will be updated of course, I just want you to know that it is still an active project.
I mentioned in an adhoc update (about the weekend's deployment of BiT and myBlockpool) that we have been working towards a reskin on myBlockpool and a redesign of the BiT infrastructure. This has been going very well indeed, the new screens look great and I'll ask the designer to share some screen shots so you can see them. The new functionality will allow us to support multiple sidechains within the same UI, allow users to have multiple "siloed" wallets for a single currency and also bring about the possibility of budget control tools for a wallet. we're looking into some pretty cool ideas down the road and they become possible after this refactor.
Our Proof of Concept on IPFS is going well and getting close to completion which is good as we have several firm requests from clients that will make use of this plugin.
I think that's all for now - I hope everyone is looking forward to Christmas and ready to have a wonderful holiday season.
Thanks, as ever, for your continued support.
