The development of the Ethereum project went very well during the months which followed the creation. The main activity – The development of the software platform – is on the right track and many developers around the world are starting to create small distributed exploratory applications on the platform, even if we are not yet in the Alpha version.
The 5th episode of the Proof of Concept series will be published soon, although many community members download the source code in development, compile it and use it regularly for their various activities.
Other basic activities include attention to legality in different jurisdictions concerning the presale, development and tests of the hot / cold portfolio system and development and testing of the sales website. These are well left for completion. The documentation concerning the sale is also being completed, although there are still incomplete items in the critical path which prevents us from setting a date of sale.
All these activities are integrated into a continuous basis of support and communication activities. These have increased due to the global popularity of the project. Our Twitter subscribers are more than 6000. The number of world meetings which focus on Ethereum exclusively or significantly currently 58 groups in 49 different cities, spread over 19 countries. 13,300 people subscribed to our newsletter. And the various discussions on Reddit / R / Etherum and Forum.ethereum.org are active.
This project is agile and rapidly evolving and has benefited from several leadership reorganizations since creation. It is expected that this fluidity will continue because each of us is dedicated to remaining thin and agile and to do what is best for the project at any time.
Stephan Tual and Taylor Gerring have been on the project and essential since the beginnings. Although they have already had an important contribution, it has been formalized and they are now part of the leadership group.
The most recent phase of commercial activity involved great attention to the legality of the sale and Charles Hoskinson was ideal for directing this effort. But this effort is now considerably complete and Charles will go to other activities in space.
Please listen to this channel because we will continue to publish information concerning software development activities and the details of the presale for absorption and comments.
