Welcome to our Plutus Weekly Report on the 22nd of November
As you may know already, security is one of our biggest priorities at Plutus. Our aim is to deliver a crypto payment platform that is unmatchable in terms of user safety and usability. As a result, the dev team have been working on a few changes this week to deliver on this.
What has the development team been working on this week?
This week we have released a new version of our iOS app in the App Store.
- We have added additional screens with further instructions regarding payment information, making the customer experience simpler and more efficient.
- Ironed out issues with getting real-time updates during matching and tracking of the order processes, and resolved technical issues with our Redis infrastructure.
- Currently, we are working on account transfer functionality for selling crypto and linking to the card account. Deployed all major changes related to payments transfers and order matching services.
Using the power of SEPA transfers, Plutus Tap & Pay is quite possibly the fastest way to get from cryptocurrencies to a bank account balance.
Access your funds whenever you need them, with Plutus Tap & Pay.
You can now download the latest BETA version of the Plutus Tap & Pay app for Android or iOS and enjoy rapid crypto to fiat conversions at zero fees -https://plutus.it/
The Departure of Martin Szyllo and Filip Martinka
Martin Szyllo and Filip Martinka will unfortunately be leaving Plutus to embark on new challenges.
Filip joined the team at its infancy in 2015 to help with public communications and community support. His professionalism and expertise in the crypto space have helped shape the company line for future communications.
Martin was contracted to join in an interim management role to help Plutus establish a team of international developers, ensuring architectural security and overseeing third-party API integration.
We are incredibly grateful for their work at Plutus and we wish them the best of luck in their next career pursuits. They have left us in a strong position for future growth and we thank them for their contributions. We pride ourselves in sourcing only top-tier talent in order to achieve our ambitious goals and this will be continuing.
As sad as we are to see Martin go, we are also very excited to shortly be announcing our new permanent tech lead. A fintech and crypto veteran in his own right who will be coming in for the next stage of Plutus, helping with scaling our development team for both the UK and offshore. He will steer the company through the final stages of development and oversee the product growth of the ambitious Plutus 2.0 platform planned for an early 2019 release.
We have also hired a new Social Media & Content Marketer who will be covering a large portion of the writing from here forward. A well-rounded young professional who is hungry to grow Plutus’ online presence, with a track record in generating views.
This week the marketing team have been looking at Q1 plans, card mock-ups and EU Partnership Programmes.
Currently, the marketing team are planning for upcoming Q1 events. In order to maximise coverage, a media plan is being put together for the announcement of our card programme and high-profile press launch.
The designers are also putting together some mock-ups of the much-anticipated cards, this includes both the physical cards themselves and all the entailed packaging.
Preparation of our EU Partnership Programme is also in progress. We are identifying businesses that already accept crypto who we can develop mutual interests with through a corporate rewards programme. We believe this could provide an inflow of institutional wealth alongside our daily payment users.
We will also soon be introducing you to an adjusted 2019 roadmap now that we have discussed some major product developments that we think are best for Plutus’ future. We are incredibly excited as to the changes decided and believe these will transform usability and adoption of the app. The new roadmap will be arriving Jan 2019.
Our bounty hacker programme which has proven extremely successful and helpful is still in progress.
We have so far awarded over $6,000 worth of PLU to individuals stress-testing our services which has greatly fortified the security of our platforms.
Security researchers who successfully identify any major bugs with either our PlutusDEX or ‘Plutus Tap & Pay’ mobile app, will be rewarded with $500 worth of PLU. To find out more, assist in securing our platforms, and earn crypto, please read about it further here.
We would like to remind you of our various social media channels so you can stay up to date with the latest news on our project.
All new announcements will be made on our Medium channel first, if you are looking to keep informed on product developments, blockers and relevant news, please give us a follow here- https://medium.com/@PlutusIT. Our bi-monthly report is also posted on Steemit(https://steemit.com/@plutusit) as a commitment to supporting decentralized alternatives.

Plutus was set up in 2015 by CEO and serial entrepreneur, Danial Daychopan, with the aim of bringing cryptocurrency payments to the mass market.
This is being achieved by combining an exchange with a payments system. Users will be able to pre-load either a Plutus debit card or virtual mobile balance with crypto (which is seamlessly converted into spendable fiat) that can then be used for in-store purchases.
We already have beta versions of our services with core functionalities available to the general public.
Our decentralized P2P trading platform known as the PlutusDEX can be used to buy and sell BTC, ETH and PLU at zero fees. What’s more, by design the platform is immune to company hacks, corruption, downtime etc., from having any impact on your funds, as we at no point store the user’s assets. For free trading, visit here - https://plutus.it/dex.
Our new mobile 'Plutus Tap & Pay’ app is also available for download on Android and iOS. This enables users to deposit crypto funds too, however, additional features that will enable NFC payments to be made will be arriving shortly. You can download the app early and try it out here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.plutus.android&hl=en_GB.

Building Towards Plutus 2.0
In June 2016, we articulated part of our vision for the long-term future of Plutus - https://medium.com/@PlutusIT/slingshot-from-orbit-the-future-vision-of-plutus-it-cf7b69f827ef
Now that we have built up a network of amazing strategic partners, we are able to take the next steps towards a full-featured platform.
The necessary preparations are being undertaken that may enable us to offer (current and additional) products indispensable to both crypto-enthusiasts, the unbanked, as well as the general public.

Development Updates
The wheels are spinning and development is moving forward to deliver results. This week, our development progress is quite concise, but far more challenging than usual.
-Preparing for a complete overhaul of front-end infrastructure and flow, based on the results of the London UX session
-Testing edge-cases for card integration. Overall progress on card integration is at 35%.
-We have released a new version of the app with small changes in design and UX
-Implementing (even more) changes that will let our infrastructure reliably handle a large influx of users and scale to a larger audience.
The Bounty Program
Hundreds of hackers, coders, and enthusiasts have been stress-testing Plutus’ systems to win Pluton rewards (PLU). In total, our bounty hunters contributed 30 successful improvements that have been approved and implemented.
The success of our first (but not last) bounty competition so far has helped us enhance the security of our platform, in line with our mission to provide a cryptocurrency product that you can rely on.
“It’s this changing attitude to crypto that we hope to encourage as we build towards a full-service launch with the Plutus Debit Card next year. This is the first step to impacting real change on the crypto market of the future.”

PLUTUSit what's new with the plutus project, from the rest of similar concepts already operating on crypto market? Plutus was the first, but the work on it is definitely too long.
Hi wgd,
The difference separating us from similar payment platforms is our lack of a central repository; we never store the funds of a user at any point. This makes it impossible for company hacks, corruption or downtime to have any impact on the user’s funds. Given over 980,000 Bitcoins have been stolen, largely as a result of the lax security of centralized exchanges, we believe our decentralized exchange approach to be a big selling point. Security is of paramount importance to us.
Secure cryptocurrency projects can take time to develop but we have live beta services available to use right now. You can buy and sell cryptocurrencies at zero fees via our PlutusDEX platform, and our ‘Plutus Tap & Pay’ app is now available on Android/iOS. In 2019 we will be announcing new integrated features and our fully functional debit card.
If you have any other questions, please let us know

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 30th of October
It is easy to forget that Bitcoin is primarily an economic system and not merely a technology.
At Plutus, we are fully committed to the future of money, which means lowering the barrier to using cryptocurrencies in our daily lives. We believe that you shouldn’t need advanced IT skills to use blockchain-based applications.
#CryptoAnywhere
With this philosophy in mind, we set out to improve the flow of our app even further.
This past weekend, our team got together and completed our exciting two-day Design Hackathon in London (UX session). Naturally, we listened to all of your advice that we collected during our UX survey, and delved deep into the wireframes of our app and the PlutusDEX.
We’ve made a lot of progress, and are making Plutus ready for the mass-market (which includes introducing newbies to crypto). Stay tuned for the results in the next version!
Using the power of SEPA transfers, Plutus Tap & Pay is quite possibly the fastest way to get from cryptocurrencies to a bank account balance.

Issue: Connections blocked by ISP, firewall or router.
A few users have reported that they have been unable to use some aspects of our platform. Upon further investigation, we have determined that this is due to Websockets being blocked either by their ISP (Internet Service Provider), or a firewall on their computer/router/network.
Unfortunately, this means that resolving this (relatively rare) bug is currently out of our control. However, we are already researching alternative protocols and solutions to resolve this issue ASAP.
This week in active development:
-Completed the London UX Session (as mentioned above).
-Redesigning user flow, as part of the UX session.
-Testing cards integration.
-Planning to add an alternative to Websockets.

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 25th of October
At Plutus, we understand that mobile apps need to handle tremendously well before they are able to grow to a worldwide audience.
To make this happen, our team is currently hosting an internal UX (user experience) session in London. The purpose of this session is to improve the accessibility of our app and plan the addition of our upcoming feature-set.
The Plutus app will be out of BETA in Q1 2019, where an update for the app will be released (including debit cards) which will include fees for Bitcoin and Ether deposits and the much-awaited Pluton reward programs.
You can now download the latest updated BETA version of our Plutus Tap & Pay app (for Android or iOS) and enjoy rapid crypto-to-fiat conversions with zero fees - visit our website https://plutus.it/

This week in active development:
-Participating in the London UX Session (as mentioned above).
-Currently integrating the services of our new card provider, which is our top priority.

-Updated the Pluton Calculator (bug fixes).
-Added better monitoring of all aspects of our platform.
-Implemented a scalable notification system.
-Stress test the PlutudDEX’ order-matching engine
-Completed misc. quality assurance.
Media and Press Updates
Bloomberg has reached out to our CEO and Founder Danial Daychopan for commentary regarding the recent stability of the Bitcoin price, and the underlying mechanics at hand. Read their article here - https://[Suspicious link removed]/y7scwoz2
Exchange Updates
As stated in the Plutus White Paper, the only official and sanctioned way of obtaining PLU is via the PlutusDEX or the upcoming Pluton reward program.
However, as a community initiative, PLU is listed on several third-party exchanges and more are in touch to have Pluton listed. You can use Twitter to tag any of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, along with @Plutusit, #PLU and #CryptoAnywhere in an effort to speed up the Pluton listing.
Our Telegram channel is the perfect place to get introduced to Plutus, ask questions about Pluton, bounties and giveaways, as well as get help regarding our app and services.

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 15th of October
Cryptocurrencies are still a brand new technology from a consumer perspective. This is why we would like to know your vision for using Plutus Tap & Pay for Android/iOS.
As you may well be aware, Plutus is first and foremost an app made for Bitcoiners, digital nomads, as well as a growing group of people who otherwise benefit from or enjoy using cryptocurrencies.
This is why we have now drafted a U/X (user experience) survey to better address the needs of the cryptocurrency community.
As a gesture of gratitude, every participant who completes the survey will receive 5 PLU.
Head over to our survey: https://plutusit.typeform.com/to/qBYDmL
Centralised vs. Peer-to-Peer
Are you still using a centralised exchange or service to store your coins?
We think that’s a bad idea. Services that rely on a central vault can go offline, get hacked, become insolvent, or shut down. Furthermore, you have to manually withdraw your coins, wait, and hope that the transfer clears.
What’s the alternative?
Start using a service that respects your cryptocurrencies as your own property, and does not store them on its server. (Because if you don’t hold your own coins, they don’t actually belong to you).
This is one of the main reasons we designed Plutus the way we did, as a peer-to-peer gateway for cryptocurrencies to pass through.
For example, using the PlutusDEX you can receive Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum directly to your own custom cold storage wallet, or any valid cryptocurrency address for that matter.
Why not take it for a free test drive? - http://dexbeta.plutus.it
You can download our Plutus Tap & Pay App for iOS and Android here or on the App/Play store!
Exchange Updates
As stated in the Plutus White Paper, the only official and sanctioned way of obtaining PLU is via the PlutusDEX or the upcoming rebate system.
However, as a community initiative, you can use Twitter to tag any of the top three cryptocurrency exchanges, along with @Plutusit, #PLU and #CryptoAnywhere in an effort to get Pluton listed.

This includes the following tasks and achievements:
-Updated microservices to work with the latest versions of their components
-Solved login issue related to Google Chrome on Android
-Solved a few miscellaneous bugs on the back-end
-Fixed blockchain tracker job queue handling
-Testing blockchain-tracker on various platforms

Very important note: If you previously participated in the PLU crowdsale and have yet to claim your PLU you must do so before the end of December 2018. If you miss this deadline you will forfeit your unclaimed PLU and this will be used for bounty payouts.
Cryptocurrencies are still a brand new technology from a consumer perspective. This is why we would like to know your vision for using Plutus Tap & Pay for Android/iOS.
As you may well be aware, Plutus is first and foremost an app made for Bitcoiners, digital nomads, as well as a growing group of people who otherwise benefit from or enjoy using cryptocurrencies.
This is why we have now drafted a U/X (user experience) survey to better address the needs of the cryptocurrency community.
As a gesture of gratitude, every participant who completes the survey will receive 5 PLU.
Head over to our survey: https://plutusit.typeform.com/to/qBYDmL
Centralised vs. Peer-to-Peer
Are you still using a centralised exchange or service to store your coins?
We think that’s a bad idea. Services that rely on a central vault can go offline, get hacked, become insolvent, or shut down. Furthermore, you have to manually withdraw your coins, wait, and hope that the transfer clears.
What’s the alternative?
Start using a service that respects your cryptocurrencies as your own property, and does not store them on its server. (Because if you don’t hold your own coins, they don’t actually belong to you).
This is one of the main reasons we designed Plutus the way we did, as a peer-to-peer gateway for cryptocurrencies to pass through.
For example, using the PlutusDEX you can receive Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum directly to your own custom cold storage wallet, or any valid cryptocurrency address for that matter.
Why not take it for a free test drive? - http://dexbeta.plutus.it
You can download our Plutus Tap & Pay App for iOS and Android here or on the App/Play store!

'Plutus Tap & Pay' App Survey: 5 PLU Reward
Dear Community, as we strive to improve our functionality and U/X we are calling on you to complete a short survey on the overall satisfaction of the ‘Plutus Tap & Pay’ app. Your feedback will go towards influencing our next major upgrade. As a gesture of gratitude, we will be rewarding 5 PLU for every completed survey: https://plutusit.typeform.com/to/qBYDmL

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 10th of October
Curious to find out what it’s like for cryptocurrencies to have practical, useable value in the real world?
Head over to http://plutus.it and download the Plutus Tap & Pay for Android or iOS.
New to crypto, and looking to buy Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum?
Choose the safest way to buy cryptocurrencies, and take our decentralised exchange for a test drive: http://dexbeta.plutus.it
What makes Plutus unique?
Plutus has learned from the past mistakes of other cryptocurrency services, namely the mantra: “If you store your coins on an exchange, they aren’t YOUR coins.”
This is why Plutus is quite possibly the only crypto-fiat and fiat-crypto gateway where your cryptocurrency balance is NEVER stored on any exchange or centralised server.
Instead, all coins travel directly to the user’s cryptocurrency address (or your own address, depending on whether you are buying or selling cryptocurrencies).
At the same time, our handling of fiat deposits is managed by 3rd parties (and is directly tied to a blockchain-based verification mechanism).
This makes events like the “Mt.Gox Disaster” impossible by design, because there are no user cryptocurrency balances whatsoever.
Legal Status of Pluton (PLU)
Several of our users have inquired about the legal status of Pluton (PLU) and how this affects the future of Plutus.
Quick summary: We have confirmation from our legal counsel that Plutus is best defined as a utility token, loyalty point, and in-app reward that exists for use inside the Plutus ecosystem.
Exchange Updates
You can currently buy Pluton on the PlutusDEX from other users as outlined in our white paper. However, as a community initiative, and to speed up the process, you can utilise the social media by posting and tagging any of the top three cryptocurrency exchanges, along with @Plutusit, #PLU and #Cryptoanywhere.

-Fixed several issues with order matching on the PlutusDEX.
-Resolved inconsistencies with the blockchain tracker.
-Integrating graph-based data queries
-Preparing optimised designs for the newly released iPhone models.

Plutus Bounty Hacker Update: New Version of App
At Plutus, we consider it of the upmost importance to provide privacy and security to our users. As a result, our development team have implemented numerous measures to prevent any malicious activity before it occurs.
Vulnerability Reward Programme
Plutus recognise the importance of security researchers who invest time and effort into helping us secure our platform. As a result, anyone who reports a vulnerability that could compromise the confidentiality or integrity of our users or service, will be directly rewarded.
Security is of paramount importance, which means we will investigate all reported bugs and potential breaches. If you believe you have discovered a bug or vulnerability in Plutus.it, or any of our applications; please contact us right away at [email protected]
Rewards
Rewards will only apply to vulnerabilities found on the latest version of our app, ‘Plutus Tap & Pay’, no longer will we be rewarding bugs found on old versions.
A reward of up to $500 (paid in PLU) may be provided for the disclosure of qualified bugs (Bypassing login processes, executing code, interfering with user interaction, accessing other sessions, etc.).
Smaller vulnerabilities that do not meet our severity criteria may still be provided with a minimum of $100 (PLU) if they lead to an improvement in overall security.
Participants have until 31st December to disclose any bugs discovered. In order to abide by our policy, vulnerabilities must be disclosed privately, and provide us reasonable time to respond.
Please note: We do not reward spam or socially engineered vulnerabilities, neither do we reward vulnerabilities that have been disclosed publicly. Third-party applications such as the ones we use to test our BETA applications are not incorporated into this bounty programme. This includes Crashlytics, Telegram, etc.
The Jackpot
Hackers will also be in with a chance of winning a $3000 (PLU) jackpot prize, one security researcher will be picked at random out of everyone that disclosed valid vulnerabilities to receive the jackpot.
Terms & Restrictions
- The first person to report and disclose a bug will be rewarded.
- Publicly disclosed bugs will not be rewarded.
- The reward amounts may increase and decrease, this is at our discretion.
- We may cancel the programme at any time.
- Your testing must not violate any laws at any time.
- Bugs discovered on old app versions will not be rewarded.
- Bugs discovered after 31st December 2018 when the bounty hacker scheme finishes will not be rewarded.
- Due to legal restrictions, we cannot and will not reward residents of countries under current U.S. sanctions (including North Korea, Libya, Cuba).

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 3rd of October
Did you know that you can already instantly sell cryptocurrencies using Plutus Tap & Pay?
Head over to http://plutus.it and download the app for Android or iOS.
Don’t have any cryptocurrencies yet, but are looking to buy Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum?
Take our decentralised exchange for a test drive today (and enjoy 0 fees during our beta period) here - http://dexbeta.plutus.it/
Exchanges
We have been approached by numerous exchanges to list PLU.
Many of these (often new) exchanges have also offered to list PLU for an extortionate listing fee. We believe that this practice is detrimental to cryptocurrencies as a whole.
But there is also some good news: Now that exchange listing has been confirmed by our legal counsel, we are more than happy to pay an administration fee associated with being listed on a reputable exchange. However, we will only do so if a benefit is provided to you, our community.
The question we ask ourselves is, how do YOU benefit from this?
The great news is that all major exchanges have started to list again, and we have entered negotiations with a select few already. Let’s get Pluton listed!
To speed up the process, support us on social media by posting and tagging any of the top three cryptocurrency exchanges, along with @Plutusit, #PLU and #Cryptoanywhere.
Want to boost visibility of PLU? Vote for Pluton on Cryptoverze - https://cryptoverze.com/top-cryptocurrency-debit-cards/amp/?
Development Updates
-We’ve been working on UX/UI improvements for the app, which will give new users a better view of our features.
-Our new card provider has given us the green light to get started! This week, we are building an architecture plan on how to best integrate cards into our existing infrastructure.
-We’ve been working on potential integrations with liquidity providers.
-Infrastructure improvements and clusterisation of our services are progressing well.
We have also been asked to participate in BusinessCloud’s latest event ‘What will Brexit mean for London’s tech sector?’
This event will discuss a range of issues from what an EU deal needs to look like, the impact on start-ups, recruitment, investment and opportunities to do business beyond the EU.
A panel of experts and tech companies will share their insights on how London’s tech sector survives and ultimately thrives post-Brexit.

I have just find a review about PLUTON on algory news app:
https://app.algory.io/app/cryptonews/168808/check-pluton-review-cryptocurrency
Is there something there you can disagree or could it be a legit source of knowledge about the project?
Is there any way to use PLUTUS without KYC (except sending tokens, f.e small amount ~100 or 200USD)?

Is there something there you can disagree or could it be a legit source of knowledge about the project?
Is there any way to use PLUTUS without KYC (except sending tokens, f.e small amount ~100 or 200USD)?
Whilst the review is mostly accurate, we recommend people use our company website for information about the project: https://plutus.it/
More current updates can be found on our Medium channel: https://medium.com/@PlutusIT
As for the second question, there is no way around KYC checks for making larger transactions; these are necessary for us to comply with existing rules and regulations. We treat confidentiality and privacy with the upmost importance and only request what information is legally required in order to pass KYC.
If you have any other questions, please let us know.
