If you want to monitor the project and stay up-to-date I would suggest to check the original thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194871.0There is much more activity in there and the thread is started by the Idena Team. Of course you can keep an eye to this one too, if you wish.
And they can also follow their social media because they are quite active too or join their telegram channel so they can discuss and be answered directly by the team or other members. But the team should better make only 1 ANN Thread if want and don't double it like this so that the discussion can be in 1 place only.
