New wallet

Please update

 JOINT FORCES MEETING - WEEKLY UPDATE TO OUR WORK IN PROGRESS
The main topic discussed yesterday was the wallet development for Skeincoin and the features we will and might implement with it. The most important message is for sure the coming SegWit implementation.
It was a meeting where we reviewed the passing 2 months and also had a look at the roadmap again for the coming quarters. A note about the wallet, the mentioned wallet update(0.12.1.1) is a prerequisite for the following updates coming here-after. These are requirements for Segwit Atomic Swaps, and possible privacy upgrades. The upgrade is required.


 More on SegWit
+ With SegWit Skeincoin will be able to handle more transactions per second on the chain. It allows for more options such as the LightningNetwork, AtomicSwaps, Schnorr, MAST and many more!


 JFM NEWS:
+ Joint Funded Workgroup structure development


 WORK DONE:
+ Skeincoin wallet update 0.12.1.1(Kendra)
+ SKC Airdrop


 WORK IN PROGRESS:
+ New exchanges(Xchange workgroup)
+ Updated Q&A
+ Skeincoin Whitepaper
+ More detailed roadmap
 

 COMING:
+ JFM next Monday 26-2

 COMMUNITY Q&As:
+ How are we dealing with privacy at the moment?
At the moment we are looking into what possibilities are for privacy features. We are planning for Q4 for validating for different options like Zksnark and Schnorr.


 COMMUNITY TASKS
+ Recommended wallet update 12.1.1
https://github.com/skeincoin/skeincoin/releases/tag/v0.12.1.1

The wallet update is a soft fork, it is important that first the exchanges and users and after the miners will start updating. For now the exchange is in updating maintenance. We will signal the miners when to update!


Keep Skeining!

4 months ago was before reboot. so... aeh? what?
growth of bitcoin changed what before reboot? like nothing? the chart of skc from beginning 2017 to start of reboot isn't showing much interest of skc in the growth of bitcoin. maybe I just don't get your idea, sorry if I misunderstand you. What exactly is your ?idea? ?problem?
We will check the solo-mining problem you are talking about, that's serious, if it's true. thanks for pointing on that. But the other points I don't get

JOINT FORCES MEETING - WEEKLY UPDATE TO OUR WORK IN PROGRESS
Half the Team is ill, so communication was worse than usual. Sorry. Further some task got postponed for the same reason. Still some important news to share:

JFM NEWS:
+ Cryptopia updated the Wallet. That is important, now MINERS can upgrade. After 70% upgraded the softforks will take place :rocket~1: and Kendra can work on the next Wallet upgrade. This speed of development is amazing! We are on our way to Segwit, Atomic Swaps and all new features comming slowly step by step with the comming walletupgrades
+ We got listed as some of the first coins on some new european exchange. We did some tests, trade, deposit, withdraw and everything worked good, please check yourself before trading. As always with exchanges, don't store your coins there, exchanges are only for trading! Skeincoin got a BTC and a LTC marked there: https://icqbase.com/exchange/SKC/BTC and https://icqbase.com/exchange/SKC/LTC
+ halfing has taken place unnoticed by all but a few. From now on miners will get rewarded with 1 instead of 2 SKC per block. This might lead to a temporary slow down of transactions if miners switch the coin, it might also change the price as Skeincoin is becoming more rare and difficult to get by mining now. Time will show!

WORK DONE:
+ Technical part of Skeincoin Bluepaper (tm) is mostly done

WORK IN PROGRESS:
+ more big exchanges (Xchange workgroup)
+ Skeincoin Bluepaper
+ More detailed roadmap
+ Softforking


COMMUNITY Q&As
Q: For what purposes/markets skein will used for and how you gonna reach it.
A: Atm we will be focus on gaming world, but that might change
Q: What Skein is doing to stay on track regarding to his competitors (now and in future)? About technical development of skeinproducts and it's people, businessdevelopment/sales, targetting and who/what and why youy choices?
A: skeincoin dev had 3 years of bitcoin dev done in the last 3 months :smiley: - (which is easier as we are following the bitcoin dev)
Q: The real urge of use of skein also in the future. Thinking about the neefs of ypur consumers, users and investors.
A: skein is fast already and can get much better and faster with segwit lightening, it will be cheaper and more usable then other value-transfer coins (our goal). then we need adaption. but before that we need some more technical work done. it's difficult as we need to do 10 things at once )))
Q: Why aren't you working full time on this project?
A: As we are from the good old times, before that ICO for every thing hype and the blown up marked, we just have NO income by Skeincoin atm. So it's hard to feed the mouths AND do the Skeincoin fulltime. But we are trying working out that, as we want to invest more time, too!


COMMUNITY TASKS
+ You have to do the wallet update 12.1.1 ASAP - The moment the MINERS do the update, you can't use the old wallet anymore!
https://github.com/skeincoin/skeincoin/releases/tag/v0.12.1.1
The wallet update includes a soft fork, it is important that now after the exchanges the users and then the miners will start updating. Again, after the softforks your old wallet might be unable able to send/recieve!

COMING:
-> JFM next Monday March 5th
