Hi guys, I have another great update fro our development team. We have around +30 people right now actively building BlockPay features and the new Stealth transaction feature for the Bitshares Blockchain. More good news are to come soon. Stay tuned
As of tomorrow at noon, we will start adding the support for the Dash, Bitcoin and Steem blockchains to the Smartcoins Wallet. This way, the users of those coins can use our wallet if they like to get the benefits from BlockPay such as Loyalty Points, eReceipts, and of course to start getting familiar with Smartcoins at the same time. Those communities are really missing out right now since they don't have mobile wallets that support all that stuff. i have 3 part-time guys working to add those 3 extra chains as fast as possible.
As of today, I broke out the different parts of our new BlockPay Core and BlockPay Engine IPFS-related stuff into 7 different repos:
https://github.com/kenCode-de?tab=repositories so, as of Wednesday the 2nd, next week, you will start seeing our commits there. i have 3 full-time guys, and 8 part-time guys working on those repos. The new BlockPay Core relies on them to be able to load up the new BlockPay Engine from IPFS for the specific platform or device that BlockPay is installed onto, such as windows, mac, linux, vending machines, raspi's, etc.
as of thursday of this week (tomorrow) we will start the integration of Stealth with the Bitshares platform and if all goes well we should have most of it ready for testing by Christmas. I have 2 full-time guys, and 1 part-time guy on our Stealth team.
all of these things that we are coding right now are needed for the Echo app as well and I have 5 more guys on standby waiting for those components so we are knocking this out as fast as possible.
the new 1-step setup for BlockPay by the way is frign awesome, I think you guys will really like it.
keep an eye on my github, steemit blog, and right here in this thread for more updates to come...
There is one more thing, did we mentioned that we spearhead the IPFS in C development right now? IPFS soon will be running on any hardware in C!! Super excited about the next weeks!
