September 27, 2018 News From the Bunker - September 2018

We’ve got updates for you on the Bitcoin sidechain, the Peerplays wallet, bug fixes to BookiePro.fun, a handful of conferences that PBSA recently attended, and a couple of new hires. Read to the end for pictures from the events and a special announcement about a NEW social media page(!). Peerplays and the Bitcoin Sidechain

Last week, eXeBlock Technology Inc. announced that it had completed initial work on the Bitcoin sidechain that will allow cross-chain (PPY ↔ BTC) trading and functionality.



Here at PBSA, we are excited at the prospect of this next stage in bringing the first Bitcoin sidechain onto one of the world’s fastest and most technologically advanced blockchains - Peerplays. PBSA has yet to receive the sidechain code from eXeBlock. Once we receive it, the team will begin a comprehensive audit process of code review, testing and QA, using both internal resources and external partners.



On top of PBSA's own internal testing, Peerplays Witnesses will also need to audit and test the sidechain code. It is the Peerplays Witnesses who make the decision as to whether the sidechain code is brought to the Peerplays mainnet. Core Wallet Update Available

For those who missed it, a few short weeks ago an updated Peerplays Core Wallet was announced. The release was for version 0.1.6 and included the following fixes: Fixed an issue that relates to accounts created after the latest Faucet changes, where they were signing memos with the wrong key.

Fixed transferring funds from accounts which do not have an explicit memo key. This would cover accounts that stem from the original BitShares crowdfund (Accounts that exist in the genesis file). Download v0.1.6 here. Bug Fixes to BookiePro.fun The sports betting exchange on the Peerplays blockchain has received a few minor updates. Among them, a fix that addresses an issue where some users were disconnected from the blockchain. Users will now experience proper recovery should the connection ever be lost. And of course, the update includes other minor bug fixes and performance upgrades.

PBSA Attends Three (!!!) Conferences

If you’ve been following our social media channels (by the way, you should be following our social media channels) then you know we attended a few events in London and Amsterdam last week.



First was AffiliateFest in London, hosted by Affiliate Insider. This was a rare no-speaking-engagements event for us. We focused our efforts on learning more about the massive affiliate industry, speaking with vendors, and simply took in as much information as we could. AffiliateFEST. Next, and also in London, was SBC Events’ Betting on Sports. Head of Operations Toby Lynas participated in a discussion panel on the future of sports betting. As you may have guessed, we believe the future of betting is on the blockchain!

Hosted by the BitShares community, this was a Graphene-focused event. Graphene, of course, being the technology on which the Peerplays blockchain was built.



Highlighted by Toby’s presentation “Introduction to BookiePro,” PBSA also had the chance to speak on panels - including a slot featuring Director Fabian Schuh - and mingle with so many like-minded companies, learning about other products and technologies built on Graphene.
