As the year comes to an end I just want to thank everyone who has put in so much hard work on the Hanacoin project to get it from an idea to a viable project. We had a lot of ups and downs and we learnt a huge amount during the year and we are ending on a high note with segwit passing. Hanacoin is now a coin that is owned and promoted by the Hanacoin community, not just the coin founders. We ticked off most of our 2018 Roadmap and we have also been working on the 2019 roadmap. From a marketing point of view, we will be increasing our Hanacoin team in 2019 and promoting at more skating events. I hope that we can get some Pro gamers to sign up with Hanacoin in the first half of 2019.

When we first listed our ANN on Bitcointalk, we copped a lot of criticism about our pre mine. People said that we were only in it for the short term and some people called us crooks. As we explained, it is not easy or cheap to launch a new coin. We have put a lot of our personal savings into Hanacoin to get it off the ground and I am happy that people are now acknowledging that we are trustworthy and that they now see that we are not in it for the short term. This is a long term project.

Thanks again for all your loyal support!!
