Thanks for the update. A few suggestions based on what I'm seeing and coming from recent dev experience:

1. I know it's a bit tedious to keep checking this thread for new posts and to respond to people's concerns. It might work to both your benefit and the community's if you were to simply check in "at the end of the day" and address any open concerns/questions from people, and to give a brief update, whether it's just a "still in testing phase, ran into xxx bugs, optimizing xxx aspect, etc" or just a sentence letting people know you're still around. This would be good for general PR and for thread activity-boosting purposes.

2. Priority should be on "innovation" and progress, rather than following the trend of the masses. A lot of people are screaming for anon tech, SMS integration, etc. Ignore these cries unless the tech in question is in line with what your vision for BCH is. First is to streamline the coin with the innovative features that fit with the business model, and then to solidify this foundation before adding in the "bonus features". UNLESS, you find a innovative way to implement the "hype tech" (EX: a decentralized method of full anonymity...as all anonymous tech right now centralizes records in some way and do not provide full anonymity).

3. A "Mission Statement" paper would be a great addition; it will serve as both a "vision" for the public to look forward to without releasing details about the actual technological innovation, and will also act as a guideline for the team to use so as to not stray from the "path" (see #2 above).

Also, please help clarify the block reward and the coin supply. The block reward structure totals a supply of 15mil while the actual supply is 5.5mil. This is a cause for confusion and should be explained and clarified in the OP.

Thanks

1. Yes communication is important, which is why I gave the login information for this account and twitter. I wanted to make sure you guys were still getting updates while I was gone for work. It was this account posting in the MacD thread, but the person posting is no longer on the team.

2. We're not jumping on the anon train just for hype, but after discussing it we felt that there are investors who feel that this is an important aspect in today's world. Our first step will be to implement TOR so that your IP address is no longer visible in the peers list.

3. A mission statement is coming, that's essentially what we planned for the keynotes to be.

As far as the block reward structure, it was set up for a 15m coin supply but PoS blocks during the PoW period cut that to 5.5m. I'm working on graphics to re-do the ANN so that everything is clearer and looks better.

When will ANON be done? Before you release the other things planned in a week? No more sneakpeaks of what it actually is that you will release?
