I don’t disagree in the least - we’re trying to have at least weekly updates, but since everyone’s been so swamped the past two months, it went a little quiet.  I’ll see if we can increase our communication so that status is better relayed. 

Lots of amazing things are happening, all at the same time. We’re doing what we call our “Omni rehab” to make the wallet a little less, erm, ugly.  Having the Omni team rip out the mastercoin-tools underpinnings and replacing it with Master Core over the last month has been extremely instructive to know what integrators are going to need.

We’re in near-constant communication with new issuers who are looking to create new and exciting assets on the platform (some of which will be huge).  Each one has different needs, and we have to find the common-ground elements so that we can build the features into the platform in an elegant way.  Security and consistency are key, and we are proud to say that we have had no security problems in the past year with our platform.  We aim to keep it that way.  Build it right, right?

On that front, we have some exiting new features to add to the protocol, looking how we can use Peter Todd’s tree-chains, Paul Snow’s Notary Chains (wow) and even some experimental concepts are being discussed, such as pooling bitcoin transactions to reduce tx fees (for all Bitcoin users).  Using Bitcoin Core as the base of Master Core is going to allow us a broader range of options as we start to build in some of these ideas.

Also, we have a weekly all-hands meeting on Tuesdays, and a weekly dev sync on Thursdays, both in our Sococo space.  All are free and welcome to attend, and agenda notes are published for both. 

I can’t tell you how proud of this team I am - these are some of the most talented and dedicated developers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

More news is coming - Mastercoin’s 2nd year is going to be astounding.
