Just FYI:
First PoW stage finished at PoW block height 34368 (block height 100K).
The next PoW phase will begin in aprox. 26 days, you may see an update estimate on FairByte Block Explorer.
For the second PoW phase we'll reinitialize the initial normal block reward at 200 FBT and the reward halving will be changed from 10 days block time to 20 days.

First of all we plan to support the coin for a long time, and we will continue the development permanently.
Also, we think that the second PoW phase will ensure a fair distribution for people that missed the coin launch.
What is to be done next:
- finish the block explorer
- redesign the wallet and add new functionalities to it
- get listed in exchanges
- attract merchants to use the coin
- develop mobile wallets for android and ios
- develop an ATM, a POS and a wallet chip card (thats a very hard one)
- and whatever may come to our mind and we believe is nice to have.
dev roadmap, you can not talk like that is empty, you have to have a roadmap, a marketing team to help you, if you leave them at my coin so that the coin tie line will die

We have allot of work for now and cannot focus on this right away, but a marketing team is a must, so it is on our list.

Would appreciate it if you could briefly summarise:
1) the strengths of this coin?
2) the weaknesses of this coin?
3) promises made? kept? any FUD?

Specifically to the dev(s), what will be the key original code/feature(s) in this coin?
You're using a newbie account. Will you be providing "Proof of Developer"? http://cryptoasian.com/coin-list/
Do you have C++ expertise?

First of all let me say we are a small dev team of 3 people, with a programming experience of over 15 years in c, c++, objective c and php on linux, mac and windows.
Also I have allot of experience in payment cards processing.
We've created the coin from passion and because of our interest in cryptos.
Even we have allot of experience in programming, the cryptography is somehow a new territory for us, and we considered that a challenge.

Just to summarize:
1) as strengths
 - X13 algorithm, Asic resistant
 - second PoW phase that will ensure a fair distribution for people that missed the coin launch
 - superblocks that we'll make the coin attractive for mining
 - relative fast PoS block time that leads to a stable coin and fast transaction time (<60 sec)

2) as weeknesses
 - we are not marketing experts
 - the community will decide

3) promises
 - we plan to support the coin for a long time, and we will continue the development in order to add new features and improvements
 
We will only disclose new features after alpha testing is completed successfully. As for "Proof of Developer" matter, it will be considered in the future.

Good to hear zarton, there is still some work to do for the block explorer, but it's usable.
It's hard to work in the summer  Grin when the weather is great.

So now we have the coin on 3 voting lists:

if you are updating the wallet it would be nice to differentiate mined PoS blocks versus mined PoW blocks.

That's a good suggestion, we have added it to the list.

Nothing is changed, still ~135 million coins.
The coin is on normal track.
We'll have to decide for second PoW phase if we'll start at initial block reward of 200 coins.
