Hi guys,
Not much news spreaded around here last 12 months, are we dying slowly?

To be transparent, things are slow going on our end right now. Everyone is pretty busy with life at the moment. 2 members of the team are building houses(myself being one), one is doing a lot of freelance work which keeps him away from steady development during the week, and we're trying to connect when we can connect to get things done, though.

We're currently working on a merchant only version of the Android app, and some merchant friendly tweaks need to be made to that. We've purchased tablets to provide to merchants as an AUR POS system, and we're testing that out and getting documentation ready for a push to get more merchants onboard. A lot of the efforts right now are grass roots word of mouth by team members in Iceland. The blockchain is functioning properly right now, and for the most part the price has been relatively stable, so technical developments are on the back burner in favor of code cleanup and maintenance.

We're also talking about revamping our server structure. Currently, different members of the team run the various servers that are used for the blockchain. We're looking to consolidate servers to one hosting provider(with multiple hosting locations), so that we can all maintain all the servers instead of individually maintaining our own servers. I know that's common sense, but we just all spun up servers as needed until now. Organizational structure is kind of the easiest solution to tackle at the moment without the need to get the entire team involved. This process will most likely happen gradually over the next couple months. We will also be discussing the maintenance fee upkeep for these servers, as the individual team members have been fronting the costs for the last 2 years. This may or may not be paid out with the M1 funds going forward, but we have yet to formally discuss this in a proper meeting. If we do decide to go this route with the funding, the community will be notified and made aware of our intentions.

I can report that there have been a considerable amount of Android app installs in the last couple months. There have also been a number of uninstalls, but that is expected.

We'll keep everyone posted when we have news. I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for the extensive update
