For this week’s dev update we have a major announcement. After much debate, the LUN inflation model has been eliminated from the roadmap. It was originally proposed as a means to overcome the chicken and egg problem . However, after re-evaluating alternative solutions, we decided that seeding the content ourselves and enabling donations to the LUN pool would guarantee more positive and predictable results. As a result of this decision, the current LUN supply will be all that will ever exist.

Loss of LUN from losing private keys, forgetting passwords, and accidentally sending LUN to an unowned account will inevitably occur along with an increased loss of LUN as more members enter the ecosystem.

At our current rate of development it’s likely that the Advertising System and Reward System will be implemented before the Open Beta launch. Thus, we expect more polished versions to arise from valuable feedback by the time we launch the Open Beta.
