A small update!

Hello Swippians! This time around, we have a few small updates to relay.

Updates to the explorer
Our fork of the Iquidus Explorer (http://explorer.swippcoin.com) has seen some nice additions and some needed changes.

We fixed a number of layout bugs, making the explorer site more responsive and mobile-friendly. Recently, the FreeGeoIP service (which the explorer uses for GeoIP positioning), tuned into a paid service. We quickly responded by switching to GeoIP nekudo. As a bonus, this gives us additional positioning data, including the city of the location (if available).

We also introduced a new network page (http://explorer.swippcoin.com/network) to the explorer where you can view the distribution of versions connecting to the Swipp network.

New wallet adoption
At the time of writing, the new wallet version (2.1.5) is already the most common wallet version on the network and is responsible for 36% of all connections.

Keep updating those wallets! As always, you can get the latest version of the wallet from https://github.com/teamswipp/swippcore/releases, or directly via the website on, http://www.swippcoin.com.

Bounty portal, promotional program
The bounty portal that will be hosted directly on the masternodes of the Swipp network has seen some recent work. We have decided to publish a preview of the portal directly on the website in order to promote the currency and engage the community in some bounties. You will be able to post bounty suggestions and claim published bounties directly on the website. We hope to have everything from promotional bounties to coding bounties available on the site. Everybody in the community will be able to fund the bounties by sending Swipp directly to an assigned address.

Before the portal gets uploaded, we encourage you to join the discord server (https://discord.gg/ZHVVjdZ) and give us some suggestions of bounties you would like to see. If you have some interesting exotic ideas about functionality the portal should feature, we also encourage you to post suggestions.

Website
Website has now been posted to GitHub and can be cloned directly from the repository, https://github.com/teamswipp/website.  We encourage any and all pull requests Smiley.

Yours, team swipp
