Oh, and we're already at version 0.3.0. So hopefully soon XDAG will be on CMC and listed on a few other exchanges.

Here is the roadmap.

https://xdag.io/index.html#roadmap

Thank you for your elaborate response as well.

As for a timeline, there is nothing decided just yet--hence why we are having this conversation right now.

Because the mainnet was launched January 5th, a 6 month halving could occur on June 5th or 6th.
Thus I believe that a PoW consensus would have to be reached at that time whether or not a reduction is plausible.

The poll was simply to gauge interest of what people want. Gauging interest like this is also quite hard because there are various ways of cheating the system.

Some ways which are considered:

Poll, 1 person 1 vote with open results on XDAG.io website.
PoW, the miners decide the result.
Captcha solving.
Tx voting.

The problem with the Google Forms poll is that it allows for multiple votes, which resulted in malicious attempts to skew the vote in one direction. The result is that a majority of the votes want as much reduction as possible to increase the profit as much as possible. This is why the polling system has to be reconsidered.

Something further to consider is that the poll was never said to be a final vote which determines the future of the coin. There has been a lot of criticism because of this which is unnecessary. There is no need to decide now, rather it is better to wait a little bit and let PoW decide. This is perhaps the best and most decentralized way of deciding.

With that said, there are some further improvements to the core in PR #88 on GitHub which is currently under review.

I took a quick look and the lowest sell offer is $0.06, with matching buy order price. Just a couple of days ago it was $0.03.

The RPC is coming soon. You can follow all core development on our Github page https://github.com/XDagger/xdag.

The Dagger Community is proud to inform everyone that the second award of funds has been decided. We are also proud to share with you the latest news regarding Dagger and the development plans that are currently under way.

The new website back-end and front-end works using Jekkyl now. That means that anyone can contribute and help improving it at the following Github: https://github.com/XDagger/XDagger.github.io.

Our Chinese community members have been working hard the past month and we would like to share their development and plans for the future. The English team is in full support of their plan, and we will collaborate with them on various tasks. The Chinese community has also decided to fund their own community fund to cover expenses for developers, and it has been set at 2% because extra Daggers are needed to fully support the developers with fair pay. The community team is also in support of this, because it enables all developers to receive fair payment through various funds. We will continue to distribute the funds to developers in the future.

We wish the best of luck to our Chinese team in these future plans:

XDAG China Development Foundation regular meeting bulletin 20180318

1. Core development plan
a. Long-term plans
i. Smart contract: priority development
ii. Ring Signature: Sub-Priority Development - The author will update it in his personal Github and will merge it with the community.
b. Short-term plans
i. Frozen assists overseas development team in the security upgrade of the underlying network and code rewrite.
ii. Zhe and Rico are responsible for RPC development, at first just balances and inquiries, and next transfers.
2. Accessories Development plans
a. Qt wallet will be online as soon as possible (Gua is developing it).
b. Development of Android and iOS Mobile Wallet (Gua and Solar) after balance and inquiry RPC development is completed.
c. Develop of the new block browsers and official website (Queen and Lawson)

一．底层开发计划：
1. 长期规划
a)智能合约：优先开发
b)环形签名：次优先开发 - 作者在个人github中更新，之后与社区合并即可
2. 短期规划
a)锐哥协助海外开发团队进行底层网络的安全性升级+代码rewrite
b)哲哥和霄哥负责RPC开发，前期先做余额和查询，后期做转账RPC
 
二．衍生开发计划：
1. qt钱包尽快上线(瓜哥负责)
2. 余额和查询RPC开发完成之后，开发安卓和IOS版移动钱包(瓜哥和solar)
3. 开发新的区块浏览器以及官网更新(女王和Lawson)

The original developer did not state any reason for his leaving, other than that he gave control of the project to the community.

As you can read in my post above:

• The coin is a community developed coin now.
• We have several different developers working on different things.

We are still looking for core developers.

Upcoming changes:
MacOS support
Qt Wallet (https://github.com/XDagger/QtXdagWallet)
Losing account bug fix (https://github.com/XDagger/xdag/issues/26)
Cleanup mining logic
Optimization of storage folder loading

----

In other news, Dagger was also featured at a DAG meetup by One8zero3. I will ask him to write a little about the event and what he presented.

Don't listen to strange rumours on the internet.

• The original dev left, and has not come back.
• The coin is a community developed coin now.
• We have several different developers working on different things.

We are still looking for core developers.

Launch parameters:

GPU benchmark: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -G -M
GPU mining: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -G -a -p
CPU mining: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -cpu -a -p -t 8

Good luck mining!

It's nice of you guys to show a lot of interest in this project.

There has been work done on the core and the wallet. You can see these changes on our Github page.
We are still looking for people to join us with their expertise, in particular, core developers.

Any of the big pools will yield a steady income, but I suggest trying one of the smaller pools.

Thanks, much appreciated!

I came up with a new design which my girlfriend approved.
