Hey everyone,
Been pretty busy today, lots of interest and support coming through all communication channels. We are humbled by the support we have received. Even more surprised at what seems like a very strong and involved community. This is very exciting as we are only about a week old on Bitcointalk. While the dust settles, we are planning the next launch very carefully. We plan on working with several pools over the next week to guarantee a successful launch. We are also talking with one of the very popular merged-mined pools for also being ready at launch. We will be supplying them our source-code and merged-mining proxy so they can test before going live. We will also have a document to explain how merged-mining will work with these coins ready at launch.
We have also taken feedback provided by the community. Some of the concerns will be addressed shortly. We plan on keeping a general thread for Umbrella Products and creating separate threads for each currency as it is released. This brings us into the next area, multiple currencies. We will spread them out further to better digest and support each one. We are still fine-tuning the details like how far apart and order of release. We see a strong demand for Umbrella-DRK, so this may come before Umbrella-VTC.
We like that the community is involved so we will most likely start leaving these types of decisions up to a vote. Look for new voting topics soon.
I Wanted to reiterate that 2 exchanges have shown a great interest in Umbrella. We don't think they will be ready and online by launch, but we have a good feeling they will come online shortly after. Again, this was done organically. No buying votes or secret partnerships between groups. We are proud of this accomplishment as it shows that are plans are coming to fruition.
Again, thank you for the support.
