Hey guys, sorry that I have not been around much this week on the forum. Got some big deadlines at work that require my attention for now.
Nothing i cannot handle, expect to have them finished early next week. So that's only a few days.

Lot's of good things coming aswell for WC

Cheers !

nice one, keep up the good work

always appreciate you keeping us in the loop

Absolutely, and your voice hasn't gone unheard.  All of the ideas and other items have been in discussion and I hope to report soon regarding all of them and real plans to implement

Just to list the current goals and funding levels (there is more details throughout the thread on specifics of the developments)

Also, just to give it another mention on a development i'd like (which yes I know i've been banging on about):

Increasing the coin's cap for long term staking and growth.

To address your question on what is needed to go forward, I think it's ultimately more programming man power.
We have the list of goals for development and have raised some funds to achieve these goals.

I think there is two factors holding up the progress on these ideas, firstly is a final clarification of what the exact specifics of each improvement are. Secondly is the people with the skills to make these changes, Oizopower has been stellar and rock solid (heart touching) and continually working on WC and has implemented some great things such as White OS.

As I see it, progress needs a finalised discussion directly with someone with the skills who wants to collect the bounties that have been raised through the foundation, either from within the current community or head hunted from elsewhere.

Right.
In my case when I started to see the MP caos and late to withdraw I thought the best is to wait for some dumpers in a liquidity coin, and I bought DRK at o.oo4. After some days and when withdrawals started again I could transfered to Cryptsy. So in this one I was lucky. Sad for all the crowd that is still waiting. Really bad experience on MP. Diversify exchanges is very important for tradersand to be honest I am a little paranoid.
For luck all my WC are on a safety wallet. It is my only long term coin. And I am picking up more with my profits trade while is being under 100 satoshis buying as I can. Yesterday I arbitraged my Drk to Ltc at 0.0101. Will see.
I would like to hear about how is the WC work in progress and what is we need to go forward. And also the foundation status.
I appreciate who can say some words about it.
All the best

yes its nice to see a little movement on Bittrex 

Good to see Bittrex has removed WC from the potential de-listing list, price up, volume up

i was just wondering if mindfox and mogonzo are still involved with whitecoin?

Yeah, MP going away was a bummer.  Its going to be interesting where our main market will form

Cryptsy was one of my first crypto-exchanges, I stopped using it months ago because it was too slow. Anyway, I have seen reliability problems in virtually any exchange and I hope Cryptsy have solved its issues.

What I have observed is that any coin has its own reference market in one particular exchange. I don't know why, may reflect big investors' preferences or simply people are attracted by the volume/depth of the market making it larger. In my opinion, Whitecoin has lost its reference market when Mintpal was closed. Now I'm trying to figure out how many investors are trapped in Mintpal and which exchange will host the main WC/BTC market.

I'm trying to be diplomatic but Mintpal shutdown is a real pain in the ass 

Despite some unpleasant things that makes Cryptsy, I consider sharing safest of all altcoins and I think it has never been hacked.
Safety is the most important thing in this.

Cryptsy is turning out to be one of the most stable Alt Exchanges out there.  I know there are some serious mixed reviews, but I've always had good luck with them.  [Let the flaming begin ]

Any suggestions?  I use cryptsy and bittrex personally,  I'm open to using bleutrade though, it's just new to me

Fully agree with the description of the situation.
We need to find a safe port where vehicular trade and raise WC!

Yes, Mintpal have killed Whitecoin momentum and probably some Whitecoin investor (!). For example, I had some BTC funds on Mintpal only for the WC/BTC market. Now these funds are, let's say, "frozen" (most likely lost...). This was a very unfortunate circumstance. The good news is that Whitecoin funds on Mintpal was not stolen, hence they are not in the hand of some scammer as many other coins (stolen coins will be probably dumped in the near future, ~5000 BTCs included).  Whitecoin has been delisted from Poloniex for low volume and it is a risk on Bittrex now (mostly because Mintpal hosted the main WC/BTC market). At least we have a new "home" on Bleutrade: an new exchange with low volumes but with great potentials. Bleutrade needs a "killer-coin" and it can compete with the major exchanges... Whitecoin has the chance to be the Bleutrade killer-coin :-)

Quality update there man! Nice to see the classic update with a vast array of WC news and info.. keep the comms coming

Hello!

It seems like its been ages since your last update from me.
I’ve gone through a move and job change which has left me with a new
routine that doesn’t allow as much interaction as I’d like but
what I’m committing to going forward is more communication from the
team.

As you can see, we’ve started a new page on BCT. The reasons were
multi-faceted, but we hope this becomes our safe place to discuss the
future of WhiteCoin. Questions are always welcomed. We strive to be as
transparent as possible, keep you in the loop, and above all be a
community driven coin. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt are all apart of
the Crypto Realm but making posts about such is highly frowned upon,
and are subject to removal.

All that said…

InfoGraphic of WhiteCoin Journey

Its great to be updating you, for those who have been along for the
journey, we are past the 6 month mark of WhiteCoin. CryptoSeo created
a great infographic which can be found here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9348787
showing where we’ve come from. Its important to note, in the
near future, we hope to be able to communicate a development roadmap
similar to this, which will serve as our path of development and the
end result. Specifically: Known User Transactions. This community hit
the nail on the head when it came to this idea, and you can even see
Bitcoin trying to evolve this concept as well.

In case you missed it...

Jason from Shair gave us a great update too previously here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9049439

Name Registration

Shair.com has indicated that Name Registration via Whitecoin
Blockchain is currently operational on the WC Test Net however, it
currently is undergoing advanced security analysis to ensure that as
it moves closer to production, all identified security concerns will
have been addressed and buttoned tight to ensure the most secure
system possible, especially considering that once centrally completed,
that we will move to direct wallet integration thereby enabling
registration to occur from within the WC Wallet.

DandyID and Known User Transaction

In addition to the Name Registration, Know User Transactions has also
been moving forward for DandyID…

What this means is that currently Dandy ID provides Social
verification for its customers and is currently in the process of
defining a much more robust real life verification rating system.
Tests have already been under way which includes identity verification
types for many countries around the world such as passport, SSN in the
US, National Identity Cards, Drivers Licenses, PIN, Permits and Voter
ID’s in supported countries.  This is currently in Alpha Stage with
plans for full deployment as soon as we have modified our processes to
accommodate our new verification methods.  We would like to roll this
out ASAP however to ensure that we have covered all basis for
compliancy and security for our customers, this will take as much time
as required - our customers privacy, security and verification
rankings must be rock solid prior to public availability.  This
development is directly aligned with many governmental “Know your
Customers” requirements especially in the US.  As this become more
of a reuquirement as it relates to Cryptocurrency, DandyID, Claimio
and Whitecoin will be well positioned to ensure that there is the
option enabled to comply or adapt to regulations that may be imposed,
required or demanded by governmental agencies (if so chosen by members
of the Whitecoin Community) as this service would be 100% Optional.

We are looking forward to providing the community with ongoing testing
results, updates and estimates of when this service will be made
available to not only DandyID and Claimio customers, but full
integration into Whitecoin for all to use.

WhiteOS

Another recent great development was WhiteOS; a gift to all in the
crypto currency realm. A secure, portable, USB bootable OS designed to
keep your crypto currency safe from computer to computer leaving no
trace behind!  You can load WhiteOS on to your favorite USB and take
your wallets with you wherever you go ensuring that you have access to
a complete operating system, wallets and security as and when you
need, from any computer that enables you to plug a USB into it.  You
could even provide WhiteOS to your friends or family, heck you could
even preload it with Whitecoin or any of your favorite
Cryptocurrencies for Christmas or sell them online as a product!

WhiteOS and Whitecoin, were recently mentioned in the below articles
in case you missed them. We’d always appreciate a “like” or
tweet to your followers spreading the news!

Here’s the original post for WhiteOS:

Android App Update

Android users should have seen an update to the WhiteCoin price ticker
in GooglePlay (if you haven’t, go to Google Play on your device, and
select the “MyApps” tab, find WhiteCoin Price Ticker, select, and
hit update.) With MintPal imploding, we updated it to feed from
Bittrex, although we are happy to see WC exchanged on any exchange.

Bootstrap

bootstrap.dat allows a new Whitecoin client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from a local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers. This significantly reduces the time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.

Funding for Development

And last, but certainly not least, below is our funding totals.  The WCF Wallet is used for general expendatures that the WCF finds consensus on.  NO team member has accepted any for himself from this, and, some funding simply comes from team members themselves.  (Android APP: you're welcome )

Be on the lookout for more soon.

Be good to one another.
Surfs up!

Thanks for the heads up...looks like a nice exchange.  I agree that Mintpal really killed some awesome momentum that this community has worked hard to build.  It would be nice to centralize some of the trading again to build back an active market around WC.
