Another week, another update.
It's been a crazy week for us here at Blockpool Towers. First of all we shipped V1 of BiT, the first stable release of our core API. This brought a lot of technical advancements with how we deal with people's coins, keeping them safer and more isolated. It also allowed us to provide functionality like you as an individual being able to send to multiple addresses in a single transaction. This is just the beginning of the cool stuff that is now possible with BiT V1.
We also reskinned myBlockpool to make it cleaner and easier to navigate (we hope) and support the expansions that are coming over the next weeks and months. The UI now allows you to have multiple segregated wallets, that we are calling "Silos", for a single coin. You can split your coins up and unlike the traditional "accounts" functionality in a normal wallet these will never allow you to overspend.
In the background our development work on sidechains is continuing on track. There are various tools we use that are hard-coded to only work with a masterchain and these have almost all now been refactored to become generic and allow for seamless use across across the masterchain and all sidechains. We are now getting stuck into providing the tools that will be required to request, deploy, manage and use sidechains.
We are still working to reintegrate Aurovine into a working wallet - there are several stages to this work. First of all we will be getting the existing site up and running again and making sure that your rewards are credited to your account. After this will be a process of fixing existing issues and looking to add new functionality. This is a long term project and I'll keep you informed of its progress as always.
Team wise we have recruited a tester to come on board; I will get him to join in our communities so you can meet him; his name is Shabbir and he will bring a lot to the table in terms of improving our requirements throughout the development flow as well as the classic testing functionality and catching regressions before they get out the door. Our new developer is doing his working interview today and we're in the process of talking to a UI/UX developer to also join the team; we're growing as we getting busier and busier.
The community has continued its involvement and we have set up a community marketing team that is currently gathering ideas. We are working with a couple of you guys to refresh our social media channels and the audiocoin.eu website is having a much needed refresh.
Focusing on BPL now we have had several new NDAs come in from some big companies who are interested in making use of Blockpool technology and specifically BPL and the sidechains and smart contracts. One of these is in the Health Industry while another is in Construction. We have so many varieties of industry contacting us. Business are validating and reviewing these and going through the long process to get them over to us in development to ship. Currently BPL has 127 votes on next.exchange so can everyone get over there and vote for us:

The tie up that I announced last week with Rock Hard Music Group is ongoing and I'm talking to their technical department today to iron out the final elements of integration with their systems. We also have two exciting new projects that are in final scoping. We have also produced help files for those new to Audiocoin who are struggling with setting up their ADC Wallet. We are at 206 votes on NEXT.Exchange for ADC so please keep at that and keep voting for us there:
https://nextexchange.featureupvote.com/suggestions/3808/audiocoin-adcNext week the company is getting together in person (we are a very distributed team spread around the globe) for one of our semi-regular strategy meetings. There will be more information about this released during the week so watch this space.
Finally a big thank you to the community for your support and for spreading the word; we are on the cusp of great things and with only 23 days gone of the year the achievements we have made already would be enough for most companies in the first quarter and we've barely even started.
