Status Report

First let me admit, that we are much more behind our goal, than i would have expected. I could now try to blame the Bittrex event, the fact i had to unexpectedly move my office or whatever (sorry for the silence while doing so), but though these events did cost us some minor weeks, they haven't been the cause. The true cause hasn't been a slowdown, but i simply totally underestimated the tasks, that i have been assuming to be "the last mile". This is my first project of this kind and this error has been my fault. Because i started to feel some frustration about this situation, i decided, not to chase the already missed goal, but to share and discuss our status, to describe what is missing for completion, to define a new timeline and then to continue.I have already done this with most of our team members and now its time to update you.

All in all we are progressing in a fairly consistent speed. The voice-assistant is implemented, configured and trained well. Its having an excellent recondition rate and answers with a crystal clear audio quality.Also our LED status fields are working and are showing fancy patterns to reflect the state of the device and they do even display the position, where the device thinks, the user is located, when receiving a command. When integrating the service container, i created over the period of the last year, the gave me a bit of a hard time, because the have been outdated and they nearly all imploded when i upgraded them. But i am about 90% done with them and i have managed to understand and test the linker framework to join them together also. So situation is not really, what i would call a disaster, is just turned out to be more work as expected. I feel we can be able to complete the rest in about three month. Having learned my lesson i would propose to ad another month as a buffer for unexpected challenges and to set a new goal for the end of June.

Tasks

1) Nuts and Bolts
Complete the linker layer and the solve the upgrade problem. I was able to get the containers upgraded and running, but the work made clear, that this upgrade process has to be more streamlined. The user will and should be able to expect his device, to manage and to proceed upgrades seamless without having to be repaired or to be reconfigured.

2) Funding,
we are currently in the process of enabling different ways to fund our project. One part of this funding are ongoing investor talks, the other ways are my shares on different corporations, which will pay out in the next two/three moths.
This actually plays along with our new timeline.

3) Partner setups:
As soon as the money is available, i will travel to our partners, to handle the integration with their developers. Most of them are already briefed about the technologies behind our device and are partly preparing containers and are educating me about their part of the technologies, for a quick integration process on visit.

4) INTERFACE, INTERFACE, INTERFACE

to say it in a funny way:

This comes especially, when is comes to automatically adding application interfaces on users install.
We will have to define standards for future applications and have to apply them to our applications, we are delivering by default. I consider this one the biggest task in our list.
But on this one i am fortunately not alone and we will work on this in three parallel groups with Olaf doing more voice-commands, me doing the interface connectors and a designer doing the interface.

Lass three days i upgraded,and repaired our web servers websites and team-cloud server and will in the coming days, step by step, update content and more, starting with the Europecoin website.

I hope you can live with this delay, i did everything, i could, to progress as fast, as i have been able. I really needed a few days, to face the reality and to write this ...

thank you for being with us
have fun
Matthias

Transaction "not yet redeemed"? The hell does that mean?

In which context?

Transferring coins to wallet. Block explorer said "not yet redeemed".

I assume, you are talking about coinomy wallet, right?
I had the same once, it looks like you ran into a connection problem. Given its a hosted blockchain, your transaction
did not go anywhere. Simply hit "reload blockchain in the settings and they should be back then.
