I kinda of know what the deal is with these via Discord, but they're questions that folks on here will love to keep up to date on;
- How are you getting on with listing the coin on exchanges? What kind of timeline are we looking at? Before Christmas?
- Have there been any significant alterations to your original timeline, or has everything go to plan so far?
- In keeping with the ethos of the project, you officially support a CPU miner, but we're now starting to see a few GPU miners pop up from the community. Do you have any reservations about these and the effect they may have on the IoT philosophy?
Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Thank you neqiox!! Our community is full of like-minded, hard working individuals. I'm very thankful for all of the participants, and all of those whom we get to converse with on a daily basis. You guys 'n gals rock!
As for exchanges, we've been in contact with a few. Our goal is to target use-case scenarios rather than investors, as we'd rather our coin function as intended, rather than become yet another speculative asset. Thus, when it comes to exchanges, we're very diligent in finding exchanges that are trustworthy and reliable for our community. We're also pretty picky. If we're going to be paying to list on an exchange, and driving said exchange traffic from our community, the exchange needs to be on point.
As for the roadmap, the web wallet was pushed back about a week last month due to unforeseen issues. Luckily, it seems to have been working without problems since launch. We have also pushed the mobile wallet off until Q2 of 2019, but not due to feeling we couldn't get it done in time. Instead, we've added a new project in the mean time (uPlexa Anonymous Payment Processor) to help dial in on adoption. We feel like this has priority over the mobile wallet, for now. As for everything else, we're still on target!
As for GPU mining, we honestly have nothing against GPU mining. However, that being said - we need our community to know our soul purpose is not to focus on GPU mining, and providing GPU miners an abundance of profits. The idea of our IoT mining & NZCM API is to allow casual IoT miners to provide the underlying layer of hashpower to our network. When we do algorithmic updates, the community needs to realize we're souly focused on said underlying layer. Therefore, if we implement some type of algorithm that reduces GPU hashrates in the feature, the community doesn't feel like we've betrayed them. In my personal opinion, yes - I would like GPU miners as well as casual IoT miners on our network.
