Progress & Updates
It has been a while since we made an official announcement regarding the development and progress of updates that are to come.

Core
Developing on technology that is still in the early states if not of an easy task, however, developers are managing to provide updates to provide a better and more efficient protocol for payments.
In light to the above statement, we'd like to ask the community to acknowledge @iamstenman for contribution to the next release of the LWMA3 algorithm for difficulty adjustment as this update will possibly (maybe eventually) be implemented in other cryptocurrency projects. For more details on this see <https://github.com/zawy12/difficulty-algorithms/issues/3> and <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/MicroBitcoin/commit/76c0cfc43b2c5109c0d1e52dee1cefa4e002d9c1>

Please note,development updates have moved to <https://mbc.wiki/>

Wallets
The team has been pushing the stores for listing, however, so far Google Play Store is the only one that has been friendly. Apple Appstore seems to difficult to list as they have declined individual developer listings relating to cryptocurrencies. If anyone from the community may be able to assist and provide access for listing please reach out to any of the devs.
In the mean time, the team and community members have reached out to wallet providers for addition of MicroBitcoin in their wallets, i.e. Coinomi and Ledger.
The more requests we can ask, the better chance we have that they consider 😎
Troubleshooting
There have been some issues, possibly, and the fixes are underway. Please see #android-wallet-guide (Discord channel) for details to how you can backup your wallet and then restore it in the newer versions. Here are some tips to troubleshoot:
- Check if your seed phrase is correct BEFORE you uninstall the app
- If your balance isn't showing, try closing the app and opening it again (the devs are currently working to make it better)
- Check if your address has balance using the block explorer 👉 <https://microbitcoinorg.github.io/explorer>
- Check the transaction history of your address in the block explorer (the blockchain is very difficult to hack, it's easier to hack the person)
- Use the Mnemonic converter <https://microbitcoinorg.github.io/mnemonic> to get list of addresses and private keys of your wallet (can be used to verify your wallet address)

Hello fellow members.
There have been some issues and it has been difficult for devs to track down the problem for some of them.
