Greetings Sterlingcoiners,

Apologies for the lack of posts and communication. As you may have gathered, there's not been much to report. Please do not misinterpret this as abandonment. As previously mentioned this past spring and summer had been extremely demanding of my time largely due to my ill mother, care-giving, and the seemingly-perpetual travel associated. Also, it should go without saying, that the altcoin bear markets have required me to find other ways to make ends meet. I'm sure most, if not all, readers of this can relate to the later. Some perhaps the prior.

Fortunately I have escaped the bear markets without seeking full-time employment from others and outside of crypto, only smaller contracts and side jobs. This means I'll remain in control of my schedule as we in the northern hemisphere get ready to hunker down for winter. I do see the winter months becoming go time for Sterlingcoin "2.0".

The first testing of the PIVX fork earlier this year did not go as well as hoped, but much was learned and that progress is not lost, so long as we continue the PIVX direction. I do feel only a small part of that successful-PIVX-fork-puzzle was missed and will be found with enough focus. The winter months will certainly provide enough time for that focus.

Anyway, I felt it important to let our many long-time supports know we have not lost sight of SLG "2.0" and provide some communication. Please feel invited to our Discord for less-scarce communication and many thanks to those who continue to stake their Sterlingcoin and continue to support Sterlingcoin.

Have a great week Sterlingcoiners and to the future, cheers!
