Once weusertm is live, we are going to be launching an ambassador programme shortly for people interested in getting businesses to test rtm for traceability. So if you do happen to know someone who makes an awesome product that could use some traceability or storytelling keep us in mind 

New article added to the blog on how to setup a private IPFS cluster:
https://raptoreum.com/blog/how-to-setup-a-private-ipfs-cluster/

This is how we will handle IPFS attached to assets from our https://weusertm.com platform.

Also a new and up to date article added on mining during testnet:
https://raptoreum.com/blog/how-to-mine-raptoreum-testnet/

Private IPFS cluster has been setup and tested, also first tests from WeUseRTM platform to the IPFS cluster have been performed and went perfectly!

October 2019 update!
https://raptoreum.com/blog/raptoreum-october-2019-update/

In other news we have started work in earnest on https://weusertm.com Site is being built and I am nearly done setting up the private IPFS cluster for it which will make sure any IPFS data attached to assets created at weusertm have high availability and replication. Cluster is spread over different locations such as Chicago, Germany, and Singapore.
If you are curious what it takes to setup a cluster like this I have been documenting it at https://raptoreum.com/blog/how-to-setup-a-private-ipfs-cluster/ (note that post is still being added to as I am not done tweeking, breaking, starting stuff on fire.
weusertm is a major on-ramp for Raptoreum.

Here is an interview with part of the development team for your listening pleasure

• We have our first mining lottery winner LOOTZ! congratulations
• New developments https://medium.com/@kawwwoin/raptoreum-calendar-tokens-use-case-ab03a988cb33
• 

So, quite a few things have been happening lately  

Giving away 700k testnet coins which translates into 7 lotto tickets. Lotto jackpot currently sits at 180k RTM (real rtm paid out after mainnet launch).

Check details here: https://twitter.com/kawwwoin/status/1172875498872950784

Lucky blocks contest winners drawn for the past 3 ranges (weeks)! Also the Raptoreum lottery is now up to a massive 180k!

Remember all you need to participate in the lottery is a cpu and to mine some testnet coins, then buy entries on our Discord.

cpuminer and pooled mining is now available for testnet.

https://github.com/Raptor3um/cpuminer-opt/releases/tag/v1.0

We are working basis no premine or ICO. There is a dev fee which will be paying out bounties etc. We have POW that is extremely FPGA/ASIC resistant and we will be adding to the complexity of that making it even more so.
Essentially we will have an incredibly secure POW layer as our foundation. On top of that we will be standing up an autonomous contract layer.

Hello all perfect design but anyone here explain more about this token howit is here can invest is good opportunity or just a same as others

We done gone and done it! We have integrated the RTM wallet with our own version of the Duckhunt game / bot on Discord, as well as out local bot Stays Mom!

What does that mean?

It means now when you kill ducks in #duckhunt you are awarded RTM coins (testnet) as well we will be adding rare and not so rare asset drops to the ducks.

We are happy to announce that our papers and Infographic are now available in Italian. You can get them here >> https://raptoreum.com/rtm_files/ Thank you to @Luca_san for the translations, well done!

Ok, as everyone has been aware, for the last two weeks or so, things have been slightly off track. What everyone has not been aware of has been the cause of these issues.
While combining the code we are forking with our own additional code, several serious security issues have come to light. We are currently working with code originators on getting fixes deployed for these issues and then integrating to a whole once complete. This is an ongoing process that unfortunately will take a significant amount of time. Additionally, due to the nature of these bugs, we are not able to go into details with them till fixes have rolled out all round similarly to the last Bitcoin bug fix.

What does this mean for the project and what will be happening in the meantime?

1)   We now have a more realistic shot at having a GPUminer implemented for launch. Ocminer from Suprnova has kindly agreed to work on integrating GhostRider into Suprminer.

2)   We will be launching a pooled CPU testnet within the next week or two so we can kick the wallet mining up a notch.

3)   Overall, to ensure proper testing of the issues we discovered post integration, we will be looking at pushing mainnet to November 1st.

4)   One currently promised feature, “futures” will have to be introduced in a fork 4-6 months post launch as our current implementation is heavily affected by the fixes we have to roll out.

5)   We will post service node integration into the testnet be running a break our chain contest.

6)   The project is going to come out significantly stronger at launch.

On a more positive note, GhostRider whitepaper, Raptoreum Litepaper and Graphics are now available in Italian Thanks to Luca_san.
Thanks for sticking with us and a special thanks to the testnet miners who are providing excellent data on the algorithm and its workings.

Thanks, looks like a fun place 

Is that yet another ICO, Haha? Another blockchain again? One revolution, yet another? And that's enough, girls boys, bitcoin's enough:)

Provided everything goes as it should  

We should be rolling out the next iteration of testnet early next week.

The winning addresses for lucky block contest height 10002 to 20003 have been drawn!

@cmallory183  has created an address checker for Windows, big thank you for that! You can get it here: https://gitlab.com/cmallory/raptoreum-address-verifier

Updated Linux check script available in our Discord in the #contests channel

Lottery: The RTM lottery is now up to 120k! Starting with the next draw the amount of numbers the bot draws will double. So next draw will be 2x, the following draw 4x, and so on up until mainnet. If there is no winner by mainnet, on the final draw the bot will draw until there is a winner.

OP updated with a few edits and new info-graphic!

First ever lucky block contest on Testnet 3 has concluded and winning addresses announced. Rewards were doubled for this contest so;

Regular blocks = 2k RTM
Lucky blocks = 4k RTM

Lottery is still building and current jackpot is 110k RTM 

The bot provides you with an address when you join. The address is fully HD compliant and keys not kept on server. Type in "rtm.walletdetail" in DM with the bot and it will provide you with keys, seed etc.

The seed is BIP 32 compliant and works on all the supported coins, those being RTM, RVN, XRD and XGCS at the moment.

How does the bot know your address?
