Hi Everyone
Great to see so much community activity the last couple days in the thread. That has been one of our main goals from the start. The support for Lana and the campaign to get Bram into the Whale Lounge have been great to watch, and it gives all of us behind the coin a feeling of satisfaction to see this kind of coalescence and good energy.
The latest round of Slack invites has been sent out now, so if you have just gotten yours, do not be shy, get in there and say hello, people from all different walks of crypto in the chat - mining, traders, whales, small fish. Clearly a lot of the action is in the Whale Chat so if you are ambitious about making the most out of Circuits, keep building your stack before vDPOS staking increases and the price goes up. When the bots are operational it is not likely you will have this chance again.
We are aware that there are some leaked screenshots of the bots out there. We do not have the time or even the desire to figure out how they got out there, except to comment that the screenshots are from early betas and bear little relationship to the bots that will soon be released. So as good as those screenshots look - rest assured - the real bots are going to knock you socks off.
We have been aiming at releasing v1 (Trader) bot first. Currently that bot is working smoothly wih all exchanges except one. Small irregularities are occurring with this particular exchange when the bot is operational for 12 plus hrs. We are quite sure everyone wants a rock solid V1 so we are not rushing the release. The test group will be activated as we complete this troubleshooting. Feel free to drop in and chat with Barakus in the Lounge on any and all bot matters. Barakus is a bit jet lagged from a long flight today, but he should be soon in fighting form.
One final note. We are approaching the next phase of vDPOS staking, with significant rewards accruing to those who are staking. The lower vDPOS during the middle weeks was by design - we knew people would be more likely to have their coins on exchange, and that would be healthy for the distribution of the coin. This phase is nearing an end. It is clear that many coins will be moving off-exchange during the coming days, supply will tighten, and those who set there wallets up correctly will be earning large stake. If you need help setting up your wallet feel free to ask others here in the thread or in the Lounges, it's a great way to strike up a conversation and make new friends.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT release a broken bot. The last thing I want is to be testing the bot and it goes mental and blows all my btc buying dogecoin or something.
Besides that thanks for the update.
