Here's where we're at! Apologies, again, for the sporadic nature of updates. We've got a lot going on.
Here are some highlights:- We are developing our own software to manage social media and host the organizational/project side of things.
- We are in talks with an RFID developer about potential applications for OHM. Don't expect anything out of this soon, but we're hoping to develop some innovative real-world applications based on this exciting technology. Since this was mentioned in a previous update, progress has been made, in that we are now actively talking with a developer instead of "planning on it."
- We've backed off the exchanges, somewhat for a number of reasons. The feeling is that we may have progressed a little too quickly, which resulted in our hitting a wall with the more high-volume exchanges. We have lots of talent, but as a volunteer organization, coming up with the bitcoin to fund premium listings is proving problematic. So, we're trying to get a little more cohesive first. With that in mind, next item:
- We're looking into incorporating as a not-for-profit organization, then moving on to the 501c (one step at a time). We've got some potential sources for pro bono legal assistance in this process. Once this is done, we'll be launching a patreon account, and start accepting donations. In the meantime, given the lengthiness of this process, we might consider operating as a general partnership, but more information is needed on the particulars of this: it's potentially high-risk.
- We're still hard at work on branding. Not much more to say about that, other than we want to look spiffy. Also, sound spiffy. Videos, music, and a more coherent visual theme are all WIPs.
Thank you for bearing with us and supporting us with your continued questions, involvement in the community, etc. It's deeply appreciated. I know it sounds like we haven't made a lot of solid progress, but the truth is that we've got a much more refined mission (and more specific, short- and long-term goals) than we've had to work with in the past.
