We don't want to hide any kind of information from our users/community. We are a tested product with a loyal customer base. I didn't give out more info on the ANN thread as I had linked the Whitepaper and our various other communication portals on the thread. A look at the whitepaper can easily assure you about our incredibly talented and proven team.

Nevertheless, I am sharing the team and the investors. We are backed by some of the most reputed Venture Capital firms in the world.

Why is important information again hidden behind pictures from picture stocks?
In order to attract the community and investors you need to provide more information. Who is behind your development? And why are their names and faces missing in this topic?

NEW MERCHANTS/MARKETS

Integration and testing for the India merchants/vouchers is finalized and ready to go live, all that remains is the confirmation of funds received by our Indian partner. That should not take longer than a few days. Integration and testing for Turkey and WeGift is now ongoing.

TECH

Busha

Another milestone reached! Busha is now live in Nigeria with local Fiat pairing for buying RMT. The RMT/XLM swapping will be available coming Monday. Busha Pro (the more advanced trading platform) is almost ready, order book becoming available in approx. 2 weeks.

SureRemit App updates

This week we worked on new security features and performance improvement. We are also working on internal code restructuring which is delaying the new update (In-app purchasing/wallet funding of RMT and PIN login) to go live. We aim to complete our internal code restructuring in the coming week.

EXCHANGES

Also mentioned in our update a few weeks ago, talks are ongoing with several exchanges. We’re selecting law firms to provide us with any required documentation (e.g. Legal Opinion). We’ll update accordingly.

MARKETING

Once the merchants/vouchers for India, Turkey and WeGift are available, intensified marketing will kick in. We discussed with representatives of Stellar and they will support our marketing efforts. We’re currently working with a few authors to publish in-depth articles on SureRemit, in the meantime Blockchain SEO mentioned SureRemit in their ‘The Ultimate Guide to Small Market Cap Cryptocurrencies (Part 5)’ (not initiated by us) please find the article here.

NEW MERCHANTS/MARKETS

Integration and testing of the first batch of Indian vouchers were successful and we’ll go live when the financials are settled (depending on administration processes, few days to approx. 1 week). We finalized the onboarding of a second partner for the Indian market, testing & integration of the vouchers will commence next week. Once the vouchers of both our Indian partners are fully available, we’ll push the vouchers for Turkey and WeGift.

TECH

Locking of RMT Issuing Account

We have partially locked the RMT Issuing Account.

A ‘Partial Lock’, means that the account is not able to create more tokens, make payments, trade, change settings or issue assets. Due to this partial lock, we now have some control over the RMT token. An example is that when someone’s wallet is compromised we can freeze any potentially stolen tokens and try to recover them. Also, we can authorize trust lines and use BUMP_SEQUENCE operations for this account.

SureRemit App updates

The updates for In-app purchasing/wallet funding of RMT and PIN login are ready. We decided to wait with these updates as we are refactoring/restructuring parts of our source code. The updates are pushed next week.

MARKETING

We’re working with 2 acknowledged crypto authors to write/publish articles about SureRemit. When ready, the articles will be posted on various crypto (news) platforms. App user related marketing intensifies when the vouchers are available for the respective countries.

It is. Almost 40% of the Global remittance market ($600 Bn) is for daily consumption needs. The traditional sources charge hefty fees and the entire process takes a lot of time. With SureRemit, you can instantly send out vouchers and minimum fees.
The project is being run by the top most professionals with massive strides being made on a regular basis. We are currently expanding our merchant portfolio for various other countries and the inventory size is going to expand at astronomical pace. It is the right time to get associated with the project.

wow, such a big market, your project makes a lot of sense, I see what you're doing, I think about getting involved, thank you, wait for more news

NEW MERCHANTS/MARKETS

We’ve made progress integrating the vouchers for India, Turkey and the voucher portfolio of WeGift which includes USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and more. For India, we expect to have the first batch of vouchers/merchants (approx. 80 mainstream merchants) to be available next week.

EXCHANGES

As stated in our 2019 Roadmap, we’re adding another exchange in Q1. Currently, we’re reviewing which exchanges suit our needs best and also have reasonable listing fees/conditions. More exchange listings provide exposure and visibility in the crypto landscape which also supports our endeavor. Ultimately, our success and upwards RMT price development is fundamentally supported through users of our services. The recently established global partnerships and hundreds of new merchants being added to our platform provide the necessary ‘inventory’ to achieve this. We’re very excited about the current developments and will update you on new exchange listings once we can.

TECH

SureRemit App updates

In-app purchasing/wallet funding of RMT and PIN login is currently being tested and we’ll push the update next week.

Busha

The Busha team made excellent progress! Apps are now awaiting app store approvals. We’ll be pooling beta users in Nigeria (for fiat transactions). The full trading engine is expected to be ready in a few weeks. RMT holders will have additional benefits using Busha, an example is Market Maker rewards paid in RMT. Other benefits will be disclosed once Busha is fully operational.

MARKETING

SureRemit established cooperation with Blockfolio! We will start using Blockfolio’s Signal feature to update on our progress, new merchants and other relevant developments.

NEW MERCHANTS/MARKETS
We’re still working on integrating the vouchers for Turkey and India, more announcements when the vouchers are available.

USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and more!

We’re very pleased to announce that SureRemit has now signed a partnership with WeGift, a global gift card/voucher aggregator who also signed a partnership with Coinbase. Through this partnership we can efficiently provide our services globally, making non-cash remittances more accessible to people who need it the most. The integration process starts the coming week and we’ll cooperate with WeGift in our marketing efforts, official announcements once the vouchers are available.

TECH
SureRemit App updates

In the past week, we have not received any issues related to the last fundamental update regarding the new flow of wallet creation. Most of our tech resources are now geared towards integrating the vast amount of new merchants for India, Turkey, and the upcoming global WeGift portfolio. Please bear with us for the app updates, thanks!

MARKETING

As we’ll be adding hundreds of new vouchers/merchants globally, we’re further defining our marketing strategy for the specific markets. Once all integrated we’ll kickstart our marketing efforts per country/market. Contact is established with third parties who will support us with exposure in the crypto landscape.

I have tokens of this project, at one time it seemed interesting to me. Tell me, this is a long-standing project, but you started an announcement topic. Will the news be published here?

REFLECTING ON 2018
What a year it has been. Token distribution, market ‘crashing’, testing the SureRemit beta app, token swap, dealing with a 2 token economy (old and new RMT), launching the SureRemit app, development of Busha, Bounty Program, LATOKEN listing, entering new markets….just to name a few! Great achievements but we also had to deal with lots of hurdles, and honestly, it was quite tough sometimes. Together we persevered and have overcome them all. We have said it before; our achievements are your achievements too. The support of the SureRemit community is overwhelming, so many people have reached out (and still do) offering their help to actively support our endeavor, your support makes the difference during challenging moments, we are extremely grateful and want to thank you all for doing so. Together we have achieved amazing results and we will continue building SureRemit to become the leading global non-cash remittance provider! We’re so much looking forward to 2019, entering new markets, Busha going live, kickstarting marketing for the various markets, cool app updates, more exchange listings, team expansion, opening an office in Europe and many, many more. It’s going to be another exciting year, onwards and upwards!

From all of us here at SureRemit, we wish you and your loved ones a happy New Years Eve!!

About SureRemit
The SureRemit token (RMT) is a utility token built on the Stellar Network, designed to be used by immigrants and customers within the SureRemit platform. Following this standard, SureRemit tokens are easily transferable between users and can be supported by wallets and exchanges that already support Stellar lumens.

Within the SureRemit ecosystem, the Remit token (RMT) will be used internally to access vouchers and pay bills for targeted remittances. Immigrants and customers, in general, will be able to select the country they want to send value, search for the right merchant in a category and create an order for a voucher to be delivered to the recipient via SMS or Email, and pay in RMT token. Once the order is received, the token will be frozen until the voucher is sent from the SureRemit system. When that happens, the token is transferred to SureRemit. In the future, we hope to activate the direct acceptance of RMT tokens by the ecosystem partners, which they can, in turn, converted to Fiat, this will make the token transfer happen directly to merchant’s balance.
