Sunday Meeting December 10th HighlightsPlease find below highlights from Sunday's Skype meeting.I'd like to thank everyone for attending tonight's important Skype meeting. This week we had both our Senior Developer and Chief Scientist present along with Team India and several community members. I'm sure we broke the attendance record. Below you will find a brief summary of the various topics discussed.
1. Eric's work on the iPhone app has been outstanding. Last week, the app was approved by Apple for beta testing and several volunteers have already signed up to help test the app before it goes live in the Apple Store. If you would like to participate in TestFlight testing, please see the following link:
https://www.goldcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3988.02. The perfect domain for our project's official website is clearly GOLDCOIN.ORG. After a pursuit that has lasted several years, this week the community can finally claim the domain as its own. We now join the ranks for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and many others. The domain goldcoin.org has already been transferred to our escrow agent and should go live sometime today (Monday).
Coming this week:
https://www.goldcoin.org3. New reporting system for contract developers. The Core team has contracted several professional developers to assist us with our ambitious network upgrade (currently underway). Eric and Cryptosolar have established a work reporting system that allows us to better track and organize the Slack team.
You can find the roadmap here:
https://www.gldcoin.com/roadmap/4. The renowned writer Andrew Rosenbaum has agreed to author the "Official Goldcoin Whitepaper." This whitepaper will give investors and other interested parties a single authoritative source for learning about our currency's design, its mission, and underlying ideology. This paper will be published on the Goldcoin website this week.
5. Team India in collaboration with Cryptosolar is building a 1.5 GH/s solar mining farm expected to begin operations in early February. This project will be an excellent promotional tool for Goldcoin while also helping to improve overall mining distribution.
6. The Christmas marketing campaign is showing results. Our Marketing Director Albert Milligan is overseeing our Christmas marketing campaign which features various articles and press releases alerting the public to our brand and its ongoing development. We plan to ramp up this ad campaign in the final weeks before Christmas. Be sure to follow Goldcoin on Twitter as we tweet each press release and promoted article.

https://t.me/goldcoin9. The Goldcoin Developers Group is in the process of renewing its Thawte code signing certificate. This required a new letter from our certified public accountant. We expect to be awarded a new Thawte 2-year certificate early this week.
10. To ensure the community will have future income for research, development, and general operations we are exploring various fund raising options. Coinbuilder.org features the new Woocommerce Goldcoin plugin which could be used since testing of the plugin is complete. A domain change and site update is all that's needed to make it operational for collecting funds.
Future home of fund raising?
http://coinbuilder.org/11. The new Goldcoin client has been completed and is ready for our testnet. The Slack team will use a special 500 Mh/s rig from India during testing as the remaining team GPU mines. This will allow us to test the functionality of our 51% defense system in the new updated client.
