Quick update as we recently passed 400,000 blocks mined! The Arrow project is progressing well, and we have been seeing fantastic input from our community in all aspects. As you may have seen on our Twitter (https://twitter.com/arrowcrypto) - We're collaborating with the HUSH team to implement their tool for tracking shielded stats to measure our anonymity set. This should clearly highlight the advantages of Arrow. Forge, a Zero dev, has been working on some exciting wallet updates to massively improve stability and efficiency. We hope to bring you these updates to Quiver once testing has been completed.

Our community has also begun putting together a document portal for Quiver related technical documentation here: https://quiver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. If you would like to contribute to this, please drop a message in the Suggestions channel in Discord.

ARW is also now listed on CoinGecko, Blockfolio, and Delta for all your price tracking needs. These all pull price data from SafeTrade.

If you have any issues, questions, or to get involved with the community (we've got 1800 Discord members who are active and extremely helpful) and stay up to date with all of the latest goings on, please join Discord here: https://discordapp.com/invite/HkNu6E5

All major pool ops and also the SafeTrade team are generally available in Discord for support also.

We hope to see you in there!

With that being said, as your ultimate mission is to be a truly private payment network, are there merchants that are now using your network that we are not aware of?
Would be happy to see your clients using ARW as payment method though.

We aren't aware of any merchants currently accepting Arrow. Currently Arrow is only listed on SafeTrade with relatively little liquidity available on the exchange, and we understand that this may not be ideal for merchants. That being said, we're happy to work closely together with any merchants who would like to be the first to start accepting ARW (talk to us on Discord), and the Arrow community would be excited to rally behind any acceptance of the coin.

I think the best way to get those merchants on board is to reach out to them.
Because most of these merchants don't even know that your project or coin exists.
And since it is only listed in SafeTrade, which by the way, not many traders are familiar of.
So the strategy is the other way around, you will be the one going after them and not them, going to your discord (as example).
You can start around your local area, a coffee shop or a gift shop or a local supermarket.
Because if you will not do your part, I don't think ARW will be used as payment method as one of your main intentions.

Even top coins struggle to get merchants on board.  So that will not happen overtime.
We will need more exchanges that can implement ARW, which wont be easy.
Safe.trade have been excellent and very helpful.  I like them a lot and I hope the best for that exchange.  They really a good team.

Arrow is still newish, so all in due time.  Seems wallet is now much better and stable.
So I believe good things coming Arrow's way. 
Hopefully we will see some announcements this quarter still.
If not, its also fine....  get some more ARW every now and then to help my stash get heavier
