For immediate release!

Hello everybody. A lot has been going on since the last announcement. Below are some of the highlights happening in the project.

New wallet release
We are happy to announce a new release of the Swipp wallet.

The last version of the wallet had some major problems under Windows. Instead of just releasing a version with some quick patches, Chaozer went all in and did a complete re-haul to big parts of the wallet, optimizing and improving much of the code. In total, there were 77 commits made to 132 different files. A full comparison since the last version can be viewed here; https://github.com/teamswipp/swippcore/compare/2.1.3...2.1.5. You can also see a brief list of new features listed with the release notes; https://github.com/teamswipp/swippcore/releases/tag/2.1.5.

With this release (2.1.5) of the wallet, we provide binaries for both Windows and Linux (x86-64). The Linux binary comes in the form of a distro-independent AppImage exectuble. We are also planning to cross-compile a OS X binary with future releases. However, this has not been accomplished yet, as the cross compilation environment is very tricky to deal with.



This release also provides a bootstrap database that you can use to quickly import the blockchain into the wallet. Instructions on how to go about when importing the blockchain can be found inside the archive. The bootstrap can be downloaded via the link below.


Muntster
While behind schedule, Muntster is coming along nicely. However, new beta testers for the site are still needed, so if you are interested, please contact chaozer@swippcoin.com and offer your services. Knowledge ín JavaEE and Java Server Faces is a big bonus, but definitely not a requirement.


Market situation and price
As with many other cryptocurrencies, we have seen a recent price drop of Swipp on Crex24 (https://crex24.com/exchange/SWIPP-BTC). At the moment, the supply of Swipp on the exchange is just above 100 000 Swipp, which is quite low. We need more volume and a bigger supply on the exchange, so if you hold some Swipp that you would be willing to part with, please post some of it for sale on the exchange. We think it would benefit the community and bring more people into the project.

Website
We have updated the website (http://www.swippcoin.com) and made some more changes to the roadmap. In the coming days, we are also planning to post the website code on the GitHub project page, which will allow the community to contribute with changes and pull requests to the website.

Promotional program
We are planning a promotional program for Swipp. We intend to have some coding bounties and advertising bounties that the community or newcomers to the community can claim in order to earn some Swipp. While we have some ideas on what to do here, suggestions are welcome and can be sent to info@swippcoin.com. You ca also discuss it on our discord and post suggestions there, https://discord.gg/ZHVVjdZ

Developers and development
Now that this version has been released, we will begin work on the next iteration of Swipp and slowly merge our adaptive masternode code with the main master branch. We would also like to reach out to all developers interested in blockchain technology and blockchain development. We are always looking for good developers to join the project. If you love coding and you think you can contribute, please let us know on info@swippcoin.com.

Yours, team swipp
