The new v3 UI client has some new screens this week, including part of the new authentication methods. We will be supporting AirBitz, MetaMask, uPort, Keystore and Ledgers, similar to how you interact with MyEtherWallet. The create market and portfolio views are currently underway.

Augur Authentication Methods

Our back-end team is working on the remaining FIXMEs and TODOs, currently estimated at a best-case-scenario one month timeframe. At that point, contracts will be ready for the internal review, preparing for external audits. We will be publishing information regarding Augur Node within the coming week or two, once all the details have been finalized.

We have a first round audit of the Solidity compiler being conducted, and it’s nearing completion. A second audit will be conducted conditional on what’s found in the initial one. More details will be shared once the audit has been complete, and an assessment is made on if a second audit is needed or not.

We’ve added Paul Gebheim (@ paul in Slack) and Tom Haile (@ tomhaile in Slack) to the Augur team as contractors. Paul will be working on contracts and the back-end team, and Tom is working on the front-end finishing up a lot of our testing, currently. Welcome them if you see them around Slack!

If you have any questions, please ask us in the Augur StackExchange. Questions get answered pretty quickly, and we always encourage more activity / participation.

A final reminder that 99% of DM’s coming from crypto Slack groups are scams. Projects aren’t having Airdrops (including Augur), and if they are — they will not contact you via a mass Slack DM. Never click on links, expose a private key, password, etc to anyone messaging you with a Slack direct message.
