UPDATE: October 28

1.) IoT Devices (wireless/rechargeable batteries/add solar panels) and Raspberry/Beaglebone received and working with them.

2.) We will focus on the IoT development now.
3.) Building a case for the IoT devices with a very talented designer.

Here is an image of them below.

There are endless possibilities with IoT (Internet of Things).

Update: October 24, 2014

Our public multi-sig btc address will be
3Qqu5sDkvV8sRwb2mLLVJvEdX6E6CHdDfq
https://blockchain.info/address/3Qqu5sDkvV8sRwb2mLLVJvEdX6E6CHdDfq

It will be sent to 1nYwBf2PUaKaWoxwvFMUVmHC8HskeH6Zm and then to multi-sig 3Qqu5sDkvV8sRwb2mLLVJvEdX6E6CHdDfq

We will post an Excel file to show everyone where the BTC is spent.

Update: 2014-10-01
TileCoin - Initial Coin Sales on BTER.com - October 1st, 09:00AM CST - SOLD OUT

https://bter.com/trade/XTC_BTC

I.) Introduction

TileCoin is a crypto-token which enables access to a Decentralized Bill Payments/Investment Application (ĐApp).

Overview of Features:
1.) The wallet empowers people/business to send and receive different types of cryptocurrencies;
2.) Facilitates people to find businesses and pay any type of monthly bills;
3.) Enables people to micro-invest into businesses that include ownership, lending and cash equivalents using Smart Contracts.
3.1) Use Case: Alice pays her mobile phone bill every month, during the Bill Payment process an additional option is displayed to purchase stock or partial stock.
This would be like a hybrid of Shopify and Sharebuilder in one.

TileCoin Status - Update October 22, 2014

Hi everyone

I have been watching the thread. Very good ideas that everyone has shared. Thank you for all your support. IoT will be a focus.

1.) Wallet Update
The wallet is not ready for public use. My main concern is having the Code/Security reviewed and fixed if necessary before public release.
This will take another 2 weeks minimum that includes a report on any vulnerabilities and fixes prior to release.

We have over 11,000 Source Lines of Code (SLOC) - (testnet/mainnet/testing, etc...) in one Month.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8IoPxQboSapV0dGRHhjdEV2T0E/view?usp=sharing

2.) Security Protocol

Please make sure to add HTTPS Everywhere to your web browser before having the wallet installed on your PC/Laptop once we launch.
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

3.) I have contacted BTER to ask if we can add a Vote for the community in case people want to enable trading or wait.

V1: Begin Trading on BTER without being able to download TileCoin to a wallet
V2: Allow community to download TileCoin to their wallet created on https://counterwallet.io/
V3: Wait for the Wallet to become available

4.) Decentralized Exchange
User stories created and now in breakdown phase.

5.) IoT (Internet of Things)
Hardware is ordered and awaiting shipment. Grin

Waiting for meeting with Jeremie Miller from http://telehash.org
Firmware/Software in planning phase
Basically, Individuals/Companies can use the wallet to manage their IoT devices and be able to accept TileCoin/Bitcoin for data being transmitted from their IoT device.

6.) Mobile wallet development
We have been planning the Mobile (Android/iPhone) functionality.

7.) Bounties
Have not had a lot ideas or people asking to help.

Other languages?
Indonesian - received PM

List please...

Have coindesk interview? We are not ready for this IMO.

Website - BTC/XTC Amount??
I have contacted several companies and they have quoted over $2,500+ for developing the Website/Branding/Marketing plan.
If anyone knows someone that is qualified and has been very successful. Please send a PM.

Please share your thoughts.
P.S. This Lead is not going anywhere, I have been focused on Development/Future Architecture.

Regards,
ASIC-8Tile
