We are sorry that some of you felt abandoned, but we came through many things since the Token Sale. We went through the loss of a team member, something you perhaps heard of, Parity attack (don't worry, our CTO virtuously dealt with it and kept the money safe), marketing frauds and many other things. However, we are still here, we are working on the project and will go public sometime soon on the Blockchain Conference Kyiv:
https://medium.com/@TIESNETWORK/blockchain-conference-kiyv-3a9a92a5151c. But let's go through everything step by step.
First of all, we never went fully silent, maintaining a constant presence at our Telegram channel: https://t.me/tiesnetwork. Our core team members are answering questions and sharing opinions time to time.
The second thing you may hear of is that Natalia Tokar is no longer with us. Although she is not a key person for the database development, it was a personal and unpleasant story for all of us, since she was more than a colleague, she was a friend.

Third, some of you were worried whether Parity vulnerabilities affected us. Like other projects, we had some hard time with security issues, but things to the quick reaction of Ties CTO, Dmitriy Kochin, all the money are safe and sound.
Last but not least, some of you look discouraged that we switched from the Network to the Database. This was a tough decision to temporarily froze the concept with cherished for so long, however, we did it for a good reason. As you may know, our Token sale is far from its hardcap and, keeping in mind how ambitious our tasks is, we have directed all the funds into the product crypto market craves for - the Database.
The work is going as planned, we are updating our Github and Alpha as to be expected on schedule - Q1-Q2 it is. Our work is mostly technical, and no time spared for media activities. However, we will do our best to keep ourselves public. We see great potential in this solution and naturally, it became a priority for us to deliver what we had promised - a decentralized, distributed database.
