Has populus got any customers as yet or signed up any deals last thing I read that a few things fell through
There is no recent news from Populous team, I know that there is a delay at the launch of BETA and they give a reward to who can solve the bug or error code, we are still waiting for good news.
I'm not sure if you missed it or just don't consider it good news (in the scale of a large deal with a multinational) but the first invoice sold on the Populous platform was repaid the other day and so the first blockchain invoice factoring has taken place. First mover advantage has been locked in. They are still not at 'full live' version but invoices are available for purchase and things are moving quickly. I would recommend following Populous and Steve Nico on twitter and keeping up with their posts on Medium.
