Hi All

Update from my side:

I spent the better part of last week @ the bitcoin2014 conference in Amsterdam where I met with Simon Barber, as well as other affected parties personally. The result of those conversations will become clear in the coming days. Apologies if the message is cryptic, the future outcome of our efforts there is as of yet uncertain, but we seem to be making progress.

Other points to address:

1. Rewards payments (previously known as dividends) based on PU assignments on CryptoMex should begin late this week, if not early next week. Please understand that you don't have to submit KYC information to be eligible for reward payouts.

2. Pool development work on ckpool neared a point of being able to invite a select few (larger) members to join it. We pushed 33Th of ID hashpower to it this morning @ 3am to try to work out any kinks with a possible block solution. A block was solved 15h later, thanks pedrog for highlighting it. This is slightly more than an order of magnitude luckier than expected for that amount of hash-rate. See Coinbase sig: ckpoolIce111 @
