The District Weekly — August 31st, 2019

News and updates from the district0x Network

This past week the district0x team published our quarterly report covering all the progress and changes for this past quarter. The report covers product updates, team updates, community changes, as well as financial statements. These reports can always be found on our transparency page.

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.

Additionally, the new Meme Factory features that we described in our previous blog post are live. All the bug reports and issues reported by the community have been addressed and it’s stable. However if you notice any issues please don’t hesitate to submit a bug report or feature request on Gihub. To recap, the new features are as follows:

On site Discord chat

Parameter changes

Vote secret Import/Export

Drop by Discord and let us know what you think of the new features!

Our latest Meme Factory contest also went live. The newest theme is Pewdiepie. Drop by the Cent.co post for details, prizes, and rules. The community is even starting their own contests now! People are even doing this right in our community chat. We would love to see more of this. 😍

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

Dapp Digest

On this week’s stream we briefly covered the latest EthGlobal hackathon and some of the more interesting submissions. We also did another ‘Swag token’ giveaway. This is a new experiment in using NFTs for people to redeem swag.

While streaming we submitted a meme that was created by our newest Ambassador Rektme Rev. This meme is a one of a kind submission that will be used as a trophy of sorts.

Meaning, we will make a physical collectible card with the seed phrase printed on that back with tamper resistant packaging.

Similar to Ether Cards but repurposed for Meme Factory specifically, along with hard plastic cases. A sample can be seen to the left.

If you want to learn more, be sure to follow and watch the stream recording. We will be open sourcing the process on how these are made so all Meme Factory users can replicate this.

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.
