The distribution of the coins of this project began long ago. Since then, there is no important news?

Airdrop campaign has ended and Libre Tokens (LBT) distributed to the participants as per the reward scheme and rules of the campaign. All participants can check their balance and instructions to do so have been provided as well. Off-course, getting rolled in for the campaign did not guarantee any minimum number of coins and the process was automated as was the case for almost every process we have executed so far. There were no preferences other than for participants of the signature campaign who had a slightly higher probability of getting picked by the system based on the number of days that had participated in the campaign.

So, distribution of the coins through signature campaign and airdrop started and have been successfully completed. All participants can check their balance at the project site using their forum ID and ethereum wallet address. Libre Tokens (LBT) are ERC-20 standard tokens that will be sent to ethereum wallet addresses of the participants before pre-sale. Contract address and related instructions will be shared along with the announcement and then any compatible ethereum wallet can be used to access and / or move the tokens. Pre-sale will be held soon so anyone who is interested in funding this project better keep watching this thread.

I would love to understand how this project plans to connect real life problems to the smart contract world

We have explained the real world problems this project aims to solve at the start of this thread so it would be a good idea to read it through. Libre Bazaar aims to be a platform that is accessible and usable for masses and not limited to just the tech community. It'll be a massive powerhouse at the back-end but at the front-end it will be the simplest possible thing you could ever imagine when it comes to such a platform. All the technicalities will be transparent for the user so they can focus on doing what they intend to do with the marketplace. Its unique in terms of how it has been designed and we have kept things clean and kept things elegant to ensure that platform is rolled out within the planned timelines and is in line with the ideology of the project. Our development roadmap is clear and we have streamlined the development process to ensure that no technical hurdles are faced.

To ensure transparency in the whole process, we have involved escrows and release of funds have been linked to well-defined milestones that we need to achieve to receive funds allocated for the next milestone and so on. Further, the whole process has been designed to fairly benefit contributors who support us during early stages of the project. We don't expect to change the world, but we for sure expect to put a dent on it.
