Hey!
So, welcome once again to our official announcement!! As always, thank you for your continued support of TRUSTplus!
These last couple of weeks have seen some excellent progress and an increase in the number of supporters interested in the success of this coin; both a humbling and reassuring experience for us as devs!
Oh, and thank you for your patience, even though we had a nice segue last Thursday!
A few things first.
As with the previous announcements, I am again happy to be able to say that the TRUST market has continued to experience steady and sustained growth! Since our last announcement, we have seen peak values up ~6 times compared to August 20th and ~16 times higher than those in August 14th! It's great to see the market continuing to respond well to our continued development efforts!
I believe, as I hope you do, that with our continued work and effort we really are proving that you can TRUST the efforts of the TRUSTplus coin developers and providing much needed transparency and legitimacy, TRUST, to crypto!!
In our diligent and continued work we have reached milestones and collected accomplishments such as our
CryptoAsian 5 out 5 score for our proof-of-dev and inclusion in the
Preliminary list of Coins to be included in the Casheer platform. If you are on Facebook and have liked our
Facebook page, then you can also see that we have steadily grown to 274 likes. This has afforded us a reach of over 16,725 as measured by Facebook! Our twitter page has also continued to grow in followers, today at a count of 417 followers.
Before digging into the technical details, this week I wanted to provide you with some statistics about the current state of the block chain and the TRUSTplus network. To that end I have created a
Prezi, which you can find at the following link:
http://prezi.com/si3vtgr2ft3y/trustplus-an-overview/I am working on preparing a youtube video of the
Prezi, and should have it ready by tomorrow for further diffusion. Please let us know your comments and suggestions.
Oh, and speaking of youtube videos....you should check out our

TRUSTplus Android WalletWith this update we would like to you know that our android wallet is now
functional on the TRUSTplus network!!!
Today I am happy to announce that we have the trustplus-wallet available as a packaged apk built and installed in both emulated and live android environments! The apk
can generate Trustplus addresses and private keys accepted by the trustplus peer network, and is currently in pre-release beta on the peer network!
That is, today I have the trustpluscoinj library communicating with the TRUSTplus peer network, have the wallet running in a live android environment, can pull blocks from the blockchain, and generate trustplus addresses & key pairs that can send/receive coins!! Please
email me if you are interested in testing the pre-release beta version of the wallet.
That is to say, the android wallet is now able complete the following tasks:
From the previous Announcement, the android wallet can do the following:Connect to the TRUSTplus peer-to-peer network
Manage TrustPlus addresses: Create/Read/Store/Label/Encrypt/Export/Import addresses
Manage QR codes for TrustPlus addresses/keys: Read QR Code/Display QR Codes
As of this update, the android wallet can do the following:Verify X11 Block Hashes.
Sync the TRUSTplus blockchain.
Process TRUSTplus Transactions from Blocks
Send TRUST
Receive TRUST
Confirm Sent/Received Transactions
What's next:First:We are now ready to share the android app with TRUSTplus supporters who would like to help us debug the apk.
Please let us know if you would like to help out and we will send you a link to the apk so you can install it in your android device.
Sending feedback is really easy since the wallet has a built in bug tracking/submission, feature in the Diagnostics settings.
After the apk has gone through a few rounds of testing/debugging we will deliver an official beta.
Second:Once we are confident that we have resolved most bugs that may crop up from the testing phase, a beta will be released as the production version into the market place, for free (no ads etc), in the android market place (Google Play)!!
. At that point we will make the final push for completing the implementation of automatic transactions in the mobile wallet.
Finally: Once automatic transactions are enabled in the apk, development will start on Trust Contracts for both the QT wallet and the Android Wallet.
Oh, and one more thing!!In the coming days we will be updating the QT wallet to enable reading QR codes via your android wallet.
You can look forward to that link in one of our upcoming announcements!
As always, please let us know if you have any comments/questions, and/or suggestions.
We look forward to hearing from you!!
Thank you all for all your great feed back so far!! I have received your logs and am working on the release of an apk for wider adoption. The next round of testing will be open to everyone, and I will post the link in this forum and our social media outlets as soon as it is ready. After that release has been vetted, I will release the app to the larger Android Market to an even wider audience.
Ok, now for the really technical stuff.
Over the last several months I have continuously collected data about the blockchain. In the
Prezi you will see a series of plots that present the current state of the block chain and trustplus network. These plots tell us that at the current rate of growth, we will reach 54 Million coins within the next 32 years. In the next few days we will be asking for your input about what you would like to see with regards to the future growth of this coin. We will look forward to your advice and I will provide the links to that data for you to freely verify at that time.
lol, there is so much going on I have run out of time. I will continue my announcement as soon as I can type all that stuff down over the next few minutes....
