We hope you didn't miss our surprise guest on today's livestream! It was a great pleasure to have one of our developer, Ido Kaiser (Kewde), as well as our awesome community member BB2K join the discussion along with our Head of Communications Paul Schmitzer!
Some of the stuff that was discussed:
* Primary funding round will be discussed among the team in June, no plans to offer those coins for sale before then.
* Particl team wants to set up "ambassadors" to generate interest in communities, particularly if you speak non-english languages and would be willing to do translation work. The surge in UpBit volume indicates Korean interest and Paul would in particular like someone fluent in Korean+English to contact him about engaging those communities.
* RingCT audit expected to run until May/June. Ryno talks to Qiang weekly. Another code review (possibly a month long) will happen after NJIT's recommendations are implemented.
* Mainnet will require a hardfork to get RingCT.
* Roadmap v2 in process:

* Beta marketplace may or may not be testnet only.
* First Release marketplace will be mainnet and require RingCT, meaning we won't see this until Q3 at the earliest.
* ~30k PART coins are still sitting in community-pooled funds leftover from the swap. TBD where those funds could go to, community gets to decide.
* No problems seen so far by kewde/technovert while integrating 0.16 BTC update to Particl codebase
