In light of the recent event BTG faced, we're taking extra measures to secure the network. We're looking for more miners to participate in the ecosystem and those interested in running mining pools, please reach out to us. Let's keep it open for everyone but also safe for everyone.

Roadmap 1.0
Our proposed first roadmap is here.
https://medium.com/microbitcoinorg/roadmap-1-0-9de447c1f664

The updated version, v2, of the whitepaper is out. Check it out here <https://microbitcoin.org/assets/MBC_Whitepaper_v2.pdf>

Also, in other updates, we're looking to work with mining pools soon after the premine is complete to provide a more secure network. After the recent 51% attacks, including ZenCash, it's vital we proceed in safe manner to protect users on the MBC network. And lastly, developers interested in working on MBC please feel free to contact us as we can work to build a faster and cheaper protocol for everyone to use.

Hello fellow community members. We’d like to provide you with the latest updates as it has been quite a journey so far in terms of development. We have been able to implement most of the specifications outlined in the white paper thus far and looking forward to using it quite soon. The hard fork nodes are running and we’re reaching out to miners and node hosts to secure the MBC network further. The development specifications outlined in the white paper seems to have been quite a challenge but we see light at the end of the tunnel now.
The development team is working to release an Android based wallet first as soon as possible, Q3 is mentioned in the roadmap and we hope to release the wallet by the end of next week, followed by iOS thereafter depending on Apple’s terms the release date may vary. The team is coordinating from different parts of the world and this wouldn’t be possible without them.

Kind reminder that this project is a hard fork and not an ICO. We will NOT send you a message asking for any money. Please be cautious.

Due to recent server errors reported by the community, the team will be performing maintenance and necessary upgrades to the infrastructure on July 2, 2018 at 1:00:00 AM UTC and expect to be completed by July 2, 2018 at 9:00:00 AM UTC. The website may not be accessible during this period.

The scheduled maintenance has been completed and the website is back to normal. There have been minor changes to the backend and if there are any issues while browsing the website, please let us know.

Updates on the development of wallets.
The developer team is working to be ready in time for the release of the Android wallet this weekend. As for iOS, the approval process may take more time. We thank you for your patience.

This is a notice to the #한국어 community.

We thank you for participating in the community, however, there seems to be lots of confusion related to a few important matters that this project:
- please read and understand the rules mentioned in the second post of #announcements and the respective translation pinned by the contributors in your channel.
- is a HARDFORK and NOT and ICO.
- is open source and all members are contributors of an open source project.
- has developers that are across the world coordinating to contribute towards the running of this project.
- does NOT ASK or TAKE any form of money to return/give you with MBC.
- wallets are in development and will be released once they are ready for a stable release.
- please watch the videos provided in #what-is-a-hardfork to learn more about the project.
- if you're a developer, reach out to us to discuss possible areas to build upon.

We'd like you to understand that the development and its progress are not a service to any of us but a platform we look forward to abide by Satoshi Nakamoto's original proposal, a *decentralized peer-to-peer payments protocol*.

Mining Pools
We're soon heading into the main phase of the operations and would like to discuss the mining operations of MBC via pools. The current dev team is looking at using the widely used node-stratum-pool to build a custom version and open source it. Please join #mining-pool to discuss further.

A big shout out to the community in South Korea for taking their time and effort to participate in the Queer Parade that took place over the weekend. The participation is not only for MBC but as for the cryptocurrency community as a whole to share the idea of open collaboration and diversity that are core to this project. With such young technology like blockchain that has only come to light in the recent year, this project aims to provide a peer-to-peer micro-payments platform and we are very much open to contributions as an open source community.
