While the DigitalNote Coin Offering stage continues, the XDN community continues to evolve and grow in almost every direction. Beyond the initial user base growth we’ve seen on the community Ryver (which has gone from about 50 members to over 400 within a week and a half), we have also seen excitement spread to developers and businesses who are interested in not only adapting the DigitalNote block chain for their own uses, but also building applications, payment gateways and other APIs to be used alongside XDN.

The XDN Facebook has also seen an extremely sharp increase in likes this month up 2900%, and post engagement up 1959%. The fan base on Facebook is very broad and includes users from Canada, France, South Korea, Italy, Vietnam, Germany, USA, Mexico, Pakistan, Greece, Belgium, Brazil, Netherlands…and on and on! The variety of users is literally so broad it expands throughout 40 countries, that’s great! (there is also another community Facebook that I do not have stats on). The XDN subreddit could use a little more love, but its unique visitors are still up over double last month’s. Overall, the community has been growing healthily and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of DigitalNote over other CryptoNotes and other crypto-currencies in general.

This week we have seen the emergence of XDNFinance announcing the development of their XDNBot, with a beta version planned for release in September, and their XDN payment API for e-commerce owners, set for a first release in December 2017. Lead developer of XDNFinance, Anton Nesterov says, “the XDNBot is the team’s first medium-term goal and it will allow one to deploy private transaction APIs based on DigitalNote and other CryptoNote blockchains.” XDNFinance is here to stay with a roadmap showing more development for XDN tools beyond 2017 and also a business directory available for XDN users to network and receive payments for their services via DigitalNote. If you have a product, service or business and would like to accept XDN then be sure to send in an application to be listed to the XDNFinance Business Directory.

We have also heard wind of a new DigitalNote online casino at XDNdice.net and it looks to be working as expected. Check it out if you like to gamble, but please use at your own risk as we have not verified the owners.

Other community projects in the pipeline include a new DigitalNote mining pool and various marketing campaigns. We hope that this gave an informative snapshot of this week in DigitalNote and we look forward to continuing to report on future DigitalNote XDN projects and development news!
