Developer Note April 15, 2014



Addressing the previously reported issues, there will be a wallet update to v.1.1 We are working on the details and will announce enough in advance this week so that everyone can be ready.



Here are some important but non-tech related updates:



1. Over 2-million EDU have been given away as prize money to the University of Virginia hacker teams and Rutgers University hacker teams during this weekend's college hackathons. This represents the first case ever where digital currency was given to students. The hacker teams are seriously talented people, many bound for Google, etc. after graduation. We are in communication with some of them, and they may be developing startup business models around bitcoin/educoin.



2. Trade volume in the LTC market at CryptoAlteX is heating up.



3. EduCoin now re-appears at position



4. The main developer, Edumoto, started grassroots outreach to education leaders across the US, at universities, governments, and national organizations. He could do this all by himself, but then that would not be fun. Consider ways where you can help in your community or city.



5. Crowdfunding and such as giving EduCoin to students. This is really important, since the EduCoin concept was an offshoot of Dogecoin's generosity.



Each person who owns EduCoin may consider distributing it to the students in their family or network. Others who have significant sums of EDU can consider donating millions or billions of EDU to their alumni funds. Case in point:



6. Voting continues!

7. EduCoin's first block halving is coming!



Have a nice week everyone.

EduCoin was listed at Coinmarketcap's ranking site sometime between April 3-4. EDU has been moving up and down the list as the market discovers and establishes an initial floor price. While none of the movements concern us at this early state, we are aware that first impressions count. Newcomers who learn about EDU through Coinmarketcap should know that the sporadic last place position at Coinmarketcap --noted with question marks (?)-- is not accurate.

2. None of these LTC trades have been factored into the price averages at Coinmarketcap. The site operator was notified.



We will update you here when Coinmarketcap updates the feeds for EDU price, price cap, and volume data.

BTC trades have slowed down as more people take advantage of the low LTC/EDU exchange price at CryptoAlteX . Volume has increased over the past few days and people are buying large amounts of EDU with LTC. We think 2-satoshis (BTC) is a fair starting floor price, and the current 2-liteoshis (LTC) price is very cheap.2.

Last edit: April 18, 2014, 04:10:44 PM by EduCoin #438 Hi Aumarx,



It looks great and you put a lot of hard work into it.



As far as the official EDU logo, we want to improve or tweak it rather than replace it. We've seen other coin communities spend a lot of time voting and running contests and actually end up keeping the original.



In this case, we should keep your skeumorphic design for anyone who wants to make physical EDUs.



The best approach for the brand logo is to work from the original AI file. Can you take a look at the bitcoin graphics I/II and see if we can make a consistent hybrid of that? Anyone else who is design minded is welcome to take a crack at it.

Last edit: April 19, 2014, 03:52:07 AM by EduCoin #439 Developer Note April 19, 2014



I have an important announcement and opportunity for the EduCoin community, specifically developers.



As many of you know, we were considering replacing KGW with Digibyte. We also had to update the wallet to address any weakness (if any) to the Heartbleed vulnerability. This plan is still in effect.



In support of that effort we would like to make a general announcement for more developers to help us complete these updates and reach for more ambitious improvements. EduCoin is a starting platform for so much more to come.



Our development roadmap includes a plan to give full development control to universities (the future EDU foundation). Now is the right time to start recruiting people for that initiative. If you are currently studying at a university, or are currently employed by one, please join our team so that we may extend EduCoin further for education.



Moving forward.



Sincerely,

Edumoto
