Hi Nav Coiners!
It’s time to resume our weekly update schedule. It’s been a pretty crazy week after all the excitement of the Navtech anon launch. I can confirm that the public system has been live for nearly a full week now and we have not had a single error nor experienced any server downtime.
Everything is looking good.
I’d like to give a special thanks to everyone who was involved in the beta test. You all helped to uncover those last few bugs which would have faulted the currently perfect public launch and I thank you all for your invaluable service.
Navtech Decentralisation WhitepaperI have continued straight on to writing the Navtech Decentralisation Whitepaper. Most of the technical details of how the system works are covered in the existing Navtech Whitepaper. On a systems level it will operate almost exactly how the current service works. This whitepaper is more about how we ensure individuals are able to run their own Navtech systems without compromising the integrity or security of the wider network. I am hoping to finish writing the whitepaper this week and will publish it as soon as it’s ready.
After the whitepaper is published I will begin to write the final pieces of the code required for decentralisation and continue to refine and test the existing code. When the code is ready to ship we will partner with one or more interested network operators who want to be the first people to set up their own functioning Navtech Server Cluster and set them up as the beta open source decentralisers. Following that will be the full public open sourcing of the Navtech system and Subchain.
Coin Payments Merchant GatewayWe are very pleased to announce that we have been added to
http://coinpayments.net. I can confirm their service is all up and running. I have set up a merchant account with them and have used the simple Point of Sale interface to receive a Nav Coin payment and then successfully withdrew it from their system.
This saves us a lot of the work involved in cloning Bitpay for ourselves. We will continue to support this service so feel free to suggest it as a Nav Coin payment integration for any online and real world merchant or service provider whom you are in contact with.
We are working towards a few exciting things in the merchant area which we will reveal as more details become available. Full steam ahead!
That is about it from me for this week. I have been taking a few days off to recover from the exhausting work that was the Navtech anon release.
We still continue to work towards the other things on our roadmap so stay tuned!
Talk soon,
Craig.
