Development Update:

- Rust development is under way and going well (already making performance comparisons on some of the components and it'll be *fast*). This is being lead by @paulh and @th0br0 (who will be announced soon)
- Simulations are being worked on together with a large corporate and university (which has not yet been announced) and we will accompany that with Whitepaper 2.0. Simulation results + framework will be published before whitepaper 2.0 (most likely)
- MAM is under way to being released out of beta
- @cfb is currently working on the final design of IOTA, which will then be worked on for the standardization + all client development. Getting great input from Cyril and Serguei, as we are now adding the ability to have timestamps (which is also necessary for the next big thing that we're working on on top of IOTA).
- @alfred-ch is helping out to get more tools developed to help with the network topology. We will be doing a restructuring today to improve the topology.
- GUI Wallet is most likely going to be released today with some of the necessary features to make it more user friendly

Quote from their slack today. The progress is going forward well and devs are pushing it hard! All that sounds really fantastic.

As a side note, IOTA slack hit 10 000 users yesterday which is putting it soon to be the highest slack community among cryptos. It's increasing ~200 new members/day. Growth is there and it is continious but takes a while for price to catch up. Don't be fooled by the short term $ numbers and speculation. Wink

Remember; IOTA is not ready yet and it is still being developed. It is ready enough to be at this stage, much more than many other cryptos around. Once IOTA gets few more step ups it is interesting to see what happens. Cool

I really like the direction things are moving, hope we will be hearing more news like this in the future!

cool, thanks for the info
