Jan 22nd update As mentioned upthread, community member Richie, aka Dr. Syndrome, has been working on an HTML wallet for Tao. As of yesterday, he reports that he has a bare-bones single address wallet in a working state, with more features on the way. He's also working on an ecommerce site that would accept Tao as payments for art and merchandise. He's also working on something related to OpenBazaar; not sure if the last two items are directly related or not.
On other fronts, I've heard that community member Reboot Technology, who we haven't heard from in a while, will be back in the next week or so with an update on his interesting pyramid device which I mentioned once or twice last year.
Lastly, community member Soopy took over main development of Tao core in 2019, and he's delivered the following update:
