https://mixin.one/logsSome people have heard about our Mixin Messenger at Christmas last year, because XIN airdrops based on referral invitations. I have read some community threads about XIN airdrop, and people were blaming it for its phone number registration, mysterious team members and simple website design. Since then, most people have forgotten about Mixin.
In recent days, XIN is listed on coinmarketcap top 100, so more people are talking about Mixin again. Many of them are still curious about what's Mixin and the team behind it.
Our strategy is to do stuffs quickly without too much talks, and our mission is to make a convenient end-to-end encryption messaging and private cryptocurrency transferring solution for people's daily usage.
Since the first announcement in November, 2017, we have updated about 50 versions for both Android and iOS Mixin Messenger and will publish the source code of them on GitHub soon this month.
All referral airdrops have been sent out and we have achieved a peak 16 transaction per second, and made a total over 3,000,000 transactions in Mixin Network.
There are over 3,000 people who have more than 1 XIN in their Mixin Messenger wallets. People use Mixin Messenger to store assets valued over $100,000,000 USD. And we have got a peak 40,000 daily active users.
More information will be announced in the future, since our team are mainly developers focusing on the development to launch a testnet in mid 2018 to allow people run their own Mixin node software.
About the Mixin Core TeamI'm Cedric Fung (
https://github.com/cedricfung), based in Tokyo, the lead developer of the Mixin core team. A university dropout in 2009, and started Android development since then. I earned more than $1M USD by selling apps on Google Play, pure paid apps, without any ads, I hate ads.
Then I created a video processing SDK for Android in 2010 (
https://github.com/yixia/VitamioBundle), it has been installed on billions of devices. Of course it's discontinued later and I joined a company in Beijing.
In 2011 I started to buy and mine bitcoins, but only a little and lost most of them in Mt.Gox. Since then, I have never bought or mined any cryptocurrencies, but I have always been learning about the distributed ledger technology innovations.
I started a new company to develop a mobile game streaming service in 2013 (
https://shou.tv), with about $7M USD venture investments and it will be discontinued in June, 2018 soon. Though with more than 10 million users, all without any marketing promotions or ads, the service is thought to be not successful at all.
It has always been my dream to create a distributed messaging service, and of course with cryptocurrencies. So I started the Mixin project and will keep my passion in it, and I'm told by my heart that I won't discontinue this project.
I'm now working on the ripple support in Mixin Messenger, so I'm going to code now. Ask me any questions here and I will answer it when I'm not coding.
