Thank you Javi!

yes, very important, everyone should upgrade to the new version v23. Desktop is already released and mobile will be released anytime now. It has very important bug fixes and previous versions should be deleted as they can be dangerous if transactions are sent. Same thing for appointments, v23 is now required to make appointments.

so, after all this, v23 has been released and seems to finally bring us the stability we wanted. It was a lot of work, but we did it! so, we can finally breathe a bit. IUM is on rails; there are still a few bugs here and there but nothing catastrophic. mobile mining is stable; server mining is stable; now we are getting somewhere.

so, at this point, here is what we have ahead of us:

1. mining pool.

we will begin work on the pool this week. I already have the design in mind, so it's just to put it down on paper, and then the team will share the dev load. I myself am often called to fix bugs on the server nodes so I can't quite focus on the pool too much. Will take care of the design and then hand it over.

2. The mining pool is the prerequisite for us to get back into the app stores

we know that behind the appstores is a tsunami of users. In order to accomodate them, we need code to be stable (pretty much there) and we need a pool. so let's revisit this topic once the pool is live, perhaps in a month

3. documentation

obviously, all this crazy work since december prevented us to find the time to update the documentation. Whitepaper needs a serious review, and of course, general documentation for the various software we publish.

4. The final inflation formula

Since launch, we used a simplistic inflation formula which was fine up to this point. Now I want to design the actual formula that will keep us going for the foreseeable future. Once this new formula is coded, I will publish it on github and the current one will become an antique. (i will publish the current one too, so we can have the history of inflation algos)

5. More sophisticated server verification

The server verification protocol we use right now is effective but simplistic. In order to be ready for decentralized appointments, we need to test port 32888, and perhaps test for general latency, "pocket" THS, also blockchain sharing memory hard questions, etc. So the validation protocol will be made more sophisticated in the coming weeks

6. patience

other than that, we just have to be patient. Every day, more tokens are freed out in the world, and more users join all the time. More users talk to their friends which brings even more users, and so we grow. We just have to be patient and every day, the IUM reputation solidifies a little bit more
if you are curious, we now have 3750 server miners and 5150 mobile miners for an estimated total of 8900 miners
growing every day. now that appointments are fixed, more will come as we know some people lost their verification.


so, if you never tried the IUM before, now is a good time to do so. Hope to see you around and come to see us on discord.
