Apologies to everyone, we've had quite a bit going on.

Here is where we are currently:

Development Issues:

The core wallet apps are getting their splash screens and logos updated with the correct sized images to reflect the new branding and website soon to come.
we are working on building out a web based wallet based on the bitcoin JS library and doing some proof of concept work with the library to see if it's fit for the purposes we need and secure based on any changes to it we have to add.
the voting application needs to be built out, iterated on to get it to where we feel we have all of the functionality and data needed in order to facilitate giving away Ohm and eventually building a subscription application for mobile devices so that people can be notified of available AoK that they can participate in (think member rewards service).
Android wallet needs to be worked on or completed, which a different developer is leading on now that one of the previous developers has left, but really requires some heavy Java expertise that we are currently looking for.
Our core bitcoin code needs to be updated before we can add any features or changes - this requires going through the updates to the bitcoin libraries and merging in specific groups / branches of code and testing them with the daemon and wallets, this will not be trivial and we have only one developer that has the majority of expertise in the blockchain code space, so he and the other developers are going to work on that together but we will benefit greatly from having a dedicated C++ developer that is well versed in the blockchain / crypto space.
complete the full site map for the new platform and applications (current and future state) showing how the applications will interact and move the ohmwallet.com domain to a new hosting account and start migrating new Ohm applications (voting application, web wallet, etc) to new servers one at a time after they have been completed and tested. This will allow us to keep a secondary set of servers up for making quick changes without breaking production and act as a "staging" ground for us to collaborate and work from on site changes before they are moved to the new production cloud servers, and gives us a fall-back point if something goes horribly wrong on the user-facing side.
once completed, start utilizing ALL of the tools we have built so far to do marketing campaigns for 1 million acts of kindness to funnel users in first to the web wallet and AoK platform (likely to get the most attention) and for other serious crypto buyers, to send them to the main wallets where they can mint larger quantities of Ohm coin

We are still looking into the incorporation and legal implications of doing so. We are still working on expanding our presence on the exchanges but we are not focusing on it until some of these other parts are in place. Anyone that is interested in helping, should reach out to us through any of the channels available through the website, Discord, here or elsewhere.

Admittedly, the challenges of starting a platform for a crypto currency through a public community and Discord can't be understated. Different time zones, language barriers, desire to stay anonymous, different cultures and belief systems, combined with an almost exclusive online-only presence has made it difficult to move at a pace we desire, but know that we are constantly working to overcome these challenges and believe the reward is worth it.

@ OhmWalletDev Acts of kindness is a great concept/ idea worthy for an ICO.

It seems like our coin is doing a whole heck of a lot more than any other coins in its class. Ohm needs to be on its own class because we have a wonderful, unique project.

Ambitious projects require ambitious resources and capital.
Don't let this project fail because of the lack of money, resources or man power (coders). How are you going to pay for your network server? Web developers/ hosting? How are you going to find volunteer skilled coders? Volunteer? How are you going to pay to get Ohm listed on the major exchanges?

I know that you are against ICO from the beginning. I understand your view from following you on Discord chat. I truly respect you for wanting to remain low-key. But the project has gone much bigger, more people involved, more ambitious, requires/ needs mass audience adoption to succeed goal (1 million acts), and will require resources and money.

You don't have to get the project completed to have an ICO, just keeping it as work in progress needing capital, awareness, and publicity for adoption that ICO may bring to Ohm Wallet project.

What concerns me is the one of the developers has left, so who is next? More volunteer people are going to leave. You cannot blame them because they can work in another job to earn money. They may have mouths to feed or bills to pay. Are you going to help them pay their bills?
