The District Weekly — August 24th, 2019

News and updates from the district0x Network

This past week the district0x team published our bi-weekly dev update. One of the Meme Factory updates passed in beta testing was the ability to store vote secrets. Essentially when a vote is cast on a meme, a vote secret is cached on that local browser in order to reveal the vote at a later time. This new ability to store the vote secret allows for the user to upload and reveal their vote secret on a separate device.

The other major update coming to Meme Factory is the parameter change portal. All core parameters will be able to be modified in a voting mechanism similar to how memes are voted on now. These parameters include everything from Meme Deposit quantity, to Meme Challenge Period Duration, as well as Parameter Challenge Period Duration, and all the subsequent Parameter voting types too. In all, there will be 14 parameters that users can modify/vote on.

We’ve also added a Discord Troll Box, which will be launched in the next Meme Factory iteration.

We are still seeking experience solidity developers to perform security audits on our smart contract suite. If you’re interested please check out our job posting on Ethlance, and email your qualifications to talent@district0x.io

Dapp Digest

We did an interview with our newest Ambassador “Rekt”, one of the largest Meme Factory art contributors. We spoke to Rekt about his experience as an artist, how he came to find Meme Factory, and what keeps him coming back. The TL;DR it helps him build a portfolio, sharpens his skills, and make some money on the side.

Stay tuned for our regular community livestream every other Tuesday at 3PM PDT (10PM UTC) as a forum for discussing recent updates to the district0x Network. You can join us on Mixer, Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.
