The District Weekly - October 28th, 2017

News and updates from the district0x Network

This week marked a huge milestone in the project’s progress with the launch of Name Bazaar. The culmination of months of hard work was met with nothing but overwhelming praise from the community, and we could not be any happier with how the launch of the second district on the district0x Network turned out. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Following the example of other projects, we are beginning a migration of our Slack community to the Rocket.Chat platform. Rocket chat offers an open source alternative available in both a mobile and desktop app with most of the familiar features from Slack, but with more options for protecting our community from scams and spam. You can join the district0x room here. In the coming weeks we will slowly wind down use of Slack.

district0x Network News

We introduced Name Bazaar to the public, and have seen nearly 2000 names listed for sale or auction in the first four days. This included hundreds of names from winners of the Name Bazaar Launch Contest.

You can now also view completed auctions and buy now offerings. This was a heavily requested feature in the first week of Name Bazaar, and can be found as the “Sold” option under the “Offerings” menu selection.

Spells of Genesis released a district0x themed card - the “Jewel Monster”.

We launched a Name Bazaar subreddit for discussion of the various listings and offerings on the marketplace.

The district0x whitepaper has been translated into Korean. Special thanks to community member samii for the hard work on this.

Stay tuned for more developments and releases of all types.
