Hi Nav Coiners

Its Monday here in New Zealand, which means its time for the weekly update!

Ive had a very busy week optimising the new anonymous scripts (I was up till 3am last night!!!). I have successfully completed all the improvements which I was hoping to get done before tidying up for deployment to the live environments.

I should have the clean up done by tonight or tomorrow, then over the next few days myself and Shahim will begin to roll the new system out to the anonymous network and begin our testing on the live environments. We aim to have our testing completed by the end of this week. If no major issues are encountered we hope to relaunch the Anon network to the public next week. We will of course keep you updated and aware of any changes to this schedule if delays are incurred by our testing results.

A lot of what has been optimised is in preparation for the impending decentralisation and as such, some of the improvements are quite technical, but actually pretty neat. I will be detailing whats changed and how everything works in a new whitepaper which describes how the new anonymous network functions as well as the plan for implementing decentralisation. My goal is to have these ready for release around the same time as we re-launch the anon network. How much time i get to spend on this documentation over the next 10 days will be largely dependent on how smooth the live deployment and testing goes.

Everything is looking good though. I am confident in this system and I think it makes decentralisation not just a possibility but well within our grasp.

Mark and Sophia have been busy writing a few articles over the weekend. The first one we are releasing is an education piece about how our anonymous system works and largely comes off the back of what I have posted here about it recently. This should give the wider public some understanding of how cool our technology really is and also spread awareness about the upcoming relaunch of the anonymous network.

Soopy and Shahim have been busy finishing the thin client for desktop. They have successfully compiled a near finished version of the thin client which runs using the electrum server instead of having to download the whole blockchain. This will allow anyone who has trouble syncing the blockchain an option to forego the hassle and just use this wallet instead. We are planning to release this wallet later this week if no issues come up in our user testing. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement with the feature list and wallet download.

After being on the shelf for a while as we focused on more pressing projects, we are also in the process of finishing off the web wallet. This also runs off the electrum server but only requires your web browser to run. We have been pretty close to finishing this for some time with most of the work coming piggy backing on the electrum server / android wallet release. We will keep you posted in regards to release schedules for this also.

Thats about it for the update. We have a lot of content and releases planned for the next couple of weeks, so hold on to your hats and enjoy the ride!

Talk soon,
Craig.
