Updates for next week & Questions:

We have some exciting updates coming out next week so we already want to give you a sneak peak and also address some questions we have received in the last couple of days:

An update to our iOS app is coming out next week. This is a first iteration in which we removed all references to DXT and instead send you to a simple web-login to track your balance. In the coming weeks we will be ready to step-by-step roll out our new rewards system and also allow you to retrieve earned DXT. More details to follow with the release.

We are starting a community ambassador program to help keep our community even more informed and also will work with the ambassadors on contests, AMAs, etc. — a detailed post on this will follow early next week including a call to action.
