Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates on my end for the last few days, I've had a family issue come up and so haven't had as much time to post here as I'd like.
An updateBetween development, community management, public relations, and leadership, the WhiteCoin team now encompasses dozens of volunteers. The skill, talent, and generosity that continues to appear every day astounds me. These people know what they need to do and they are hard at it. And they could use your help! If you'd like to volunteer for any of our efforts, pop by #whitecoinfoundation or #wc-pr on IRC and jump right in.
PR & Multipool UpdateLitepresence and the PR group have been hard at work promoting the coin, preparing a long term strategy, and networking with other communities in crypto to help rally even more people to WhiteCoin.
The multipool at
whitecoinpool.com continues to grow. Our total hash per port right now is:
- Scrypt: 475 MH/s
- X-11: 100 MH/s
- SHA-256: 1 TH/s
That means we're closing in on Level 2 of the Chunky Challenge, where 15% of the profits (taken from chunky's 2% fee) will be donated directly to the whitecoin foundation. This is a double win for WhiteCoin of course, as it not only ensures we can forward these donations to our volunteers, but means that buying pressure from the pool will continue to grow.
Development & Exchange Openings UpdateMindfox has been at this like a champ all week, working directly with many large exchanges. Today we're reaching out to cryptsy in hopes of finalizing this process and returning whitecoin to all listed exchanges. Mindfox is very approachable and frequently in our many IRC channels, stop by #whitecoinfoundation for a chat with him for the most up to date info on current and future development.
WhiteCoin Paper in DevelopmentI'm also working on a detailed paper today for presentation to the team. This paper encompasses a proposed long term path for the WhiteCoin Foundation as well as a mechanism for community engagement. I am writing this paper based on the observations of many as to what motivates and will continue to drive this community forward. After completion and initial review, I'll post this paper for consultation with the community. I'm hoping for a public draft release over the weekend.
Rumours of mainstream media interest in WhiteCoinI have been asked a few times now about rumours of potential mainstream media interest in the story of WhiteCoin and our community. As many are aware of my background in PR I can say only this for now:
at this time, I can neither confirm or deny these rumours.
