Lethean community! Welcome to the midpoint of the year and the last month of the second quarter. We have some very exciting things to share with you, and we hope that you are just as excited as we are about them.

Update Changes

As of this update, we will no longer provide our community with a bi-monthly update. Instead, we will be releasing one monthly update on the first of each month moving forward. We believe it is important to keep our community as updated as possible with our progress. However, bi-monthly updates have not been as beneficial as one large monthly update would be for our community. Changing from bi-monthly updates to a single monthly update will enable us to provide a more broad understanding of what we are working on, rather than short snippets of what we have done on a bi-weekly basis. This will enable us to provide our community with more comprehensive details about our progress. We hope that you can understand why we are making this change, and we look forward to providing you with the best monthly updates possible moving forward.

In addition, we have opened a new channel on our Discord server, #ask-the-team, in order to promote transparency and open discourse between community members and the Lethean Team. Please use this space for questions and follow up conversation regarding marketing, operations, development, and so forth.

With that being said, we are excited to introduce you to what we have been working on for the past two weeks.

Development Corner

The development team has hired a contract worker to complete the new VPN for our desktop users. We anticipate the new desktop VPN will be available to use in approximately six to eight weeks. We have not yet found an ideal candidate to complete the work for the mobile VPN. However, we are still diligently working on finding the right person to complete the task. This will change the delivery timeframe for the mobile VPN. However, we believe we will still meet our deadline for mobile VPN implementation within the 3rd quarter of 2019.

The easier to use applications will be visually stunning. However, for us to move closer to our goal of mass adoption, it is necessary to make our products much easier for the average consumer to use. With that in mind, we will be making some changes to how this new VPN works. We are in the process of finalizing these details, as they overlap heavily with our marketing team. Once we have finalized these details, what they will look like for the average user, and what that means for our core audience, we will let you know. You should anticipate more details about these changes in our next update. What we will say for now is that these changes will make using the VPN much easier for the average consumer.

While we are in the process of completing this easy to use VPN, we are in the process of finalizing the VPN services for our MacOS and Linux users. We anticipate the completion of the macOS and Linux wallets in the next three weeks. We will inform the community when these wallets are available to use, and we look forward to hearing the feedback of our MacOS and Linux users.

Marketing

The upcoming changes to the desktop VPN will afford our marketing team a much better opportunity to market our VPN services to a much larger audience. The ease of use that it will offer to new inexperienced users will create a wonderful gateway for mass adoption.

With the changes to the desktop VPN, you will also see changes to our website. These changes are to better align ourselves with the overall goal of being a VPN company backed by blockchain, rather than a blockchain that happens to have a VPN service attached. We are very pleased with the way that our brand and business are moving and we are excited to hear community feedback as these changes are implemented.

Our most recent Gleam contest has ended. During the contest, we had over one hundred people join and those that participated completed more than 550 tasks! Within the last seven days, we have received more than 1,000 impressions and a significant increase in website traffic. A new campaign will be starting very soon! Stay tuned!
