It's August where is the big marketing campaign which was promised?
What are the next steps until the release of the app?
How long ago did you talk to Bittrex about the ongoing work?
How many people are working on this in terms of full Fte's?
How are you going to reach game developers?
It still feels not a lot is happening
Jack can you answer these questions? It could bring a bit more transparency
The marketing campaign is beginning in India like we said. It started with the conference in the articles that will naturally be following it, then with a campaign directed to the country on local websites, gaming forums, video ads, facebook ads, etc. These are things that are starting. The next steps until releasing the app? If you mean the esports app then that would be building out connections with about 3 or 4 games so that we have those ready to go with esports wagering when we launch. We have the first game which was literally released 2 days ago known as pixel wars, which is an MMORPG that has been in development for about 2 or so years. We also have to finish building out infrastructure on the payment side so that people can easily receive wager payments from other players. In the meantime our store payments are live of course starting with pixel wars. Payments flowing means revenue to the mobile store which ultimately means buyback can have begin to be processed quarterly.
Here's an image taken from pixel wars downloaded from our store yesterday:
By all means I encourage all of our users to test out the features themselves. Pixel Wars is the test environment for our esports application and tournaments, and you will see the first rewards and matches in this game in the following weeks and months.
You can check out/download that game here:

The said they were working on upgrading their smart contracts and that they would have it done as soon as possible. They didn't give promises or dates, they said they just wanted to release the feature when ready.
How many people are working on the project? There are about 20 people working on the esports application, 30 or so full time in Belgrade working on our wallet and blockchain development/integrations (meaning these people work on building the cryptocurrency aspects of our projects, including esports wagering features inside our esports app and store), we have a team building out the store infrastructure and building pixel wars which is based in Russia run by Maxim Sholom and the team at datcroft. Datcroft has about 30 employees. We also have a customer support team and Indian office we just opened in Dehli that consists of about 10 people right now. These are the main people working on the project.
We're reaching game developers through both our contacts and the contacts of our friends and partners. Obviously game developers know eachother. They are constantly going to gaming conferences and events meeting one another. Datcroft has lots of contacts which has allowed us to get our foot in the door with a number of gaming companies. Two we recently met with were like I announced Nautilus mobile and Octro Inc. We're also leveraging our gaming partners like Webelinx and Peaksels to grow our list of game developers. At the same time we have smaller and growing developers contacting us everyday. We just had a smaller dev known and pixel ape added to the store. One of their apps released was added to the best of 2016 list on the app store.
Hope that answers some of your questions.
Why always be attached to bittrex, consider other exchanges, such as: yunbi.com, bter.com, jubi.com, yuanbao.com, they will always welcome MGO, but you do not want to spend a greater price. You have a lot of money, but it is stingy.
