Hi All,
A brief update on the days after the roadmap release and how i experienced this.
As you all know it was quite hard to create the roadmap with all these things we wanted to do. Its just a lot of stuff to cope with (even for us). With new technology its even harder to make it readable and understandable for others. I think in the basics we succeeded in that. Off course there are people that don't get the whole picture but sometimes its hard for us as well because basically the technology is that versatile that almost anything you can think of is possible with the developments of the I/O Digital blockchain. Thats the reason why we thought of the name "Chameleon". A chameleon can adapt its body to the environment its in. So can we!
Terms like sidechain, bitcoin peg, chameleon, decentralized exchange, data on blockchain, encrypted messages, aliasses etc are rather new terms in the cryptocurrency terminology. We do see more and more people understand the importance of these developments. We also see that news sites are reporting the importance of blockchain developments and reports say that blockchain technology will be the disruptive technology in the near future. Bitcoin only paved the way a bit.
We get confirmation out of many different angles that we are on the right track. People close to us that have earned their stripes in crypto, development and corporate world confirm our thoughts and future goals. We make the decisions, but we talk to many people in the business that have visionary thoughts on where these developments will go the coming years. We listen closely, follow our hearts, dream our dreams and develop with all we have.
The past few days the I/O Digital team has already been approached by different people with all kinds of projects that could eventually use the I/O Digital blockchain / sidechain technology. Not just local new ideas, but rather international orientated and good funded legit projects.
We have been chatting hours and hours with people that have really great projects and are genuine interested in connecting. Not only we talk to people with projects, but also talking to blockchain entrepreneurs in person (next week in Amsterdam for example).
These entrepreneurs are invited to all kinds of events all over the world to come and talk about blockchain / Bitcoin in expert panels. They want to know exactly what we are doing and are really interested in working together with us. In what way we don't know yet. We are discovering all the possibilities. As you may understand these kind of projects or corporation can take a while to be final.
So our developments and future roadmap actually got the right attention. We are on the right track. Our short term goals are to focus on getting DIONS out and integrate it all into the HTML5 wallet. Next to that we talk intensively to all kinds of interesting people with interested ideas and projects.
Please give us time to meet all those people and figure out a way to work together. This will take time. We take these things seriously and if it needs more time, we will take the time for it.
Thanks for all your support and thoughts. If you or your (business) friends have projects or ideas to use I/O Digital blockchain, please contact me or Joel. We would love to chat in person about all the possibilities and will help with everything we can.
Again:
We listen closely, follow our hearts, dream our dreams and develop with all we have.
I/O Digital - where dreams become technology
Regards,
Richard
