Deegram development update - January 2021 (+ requesting payout from Innovation Norway grant today! Fingers crossed!)

in #deegram4 years ago

Hi everyone, happy new year! 😍
Look:

And what's this:

Both these images confirm respective good news: we're (hopefully) getting some more funding, and that means that the work-items in our backlog will be done quicker than usual! (finally)

One of the major desires we've had at Deegram lately is to get up a witness node to be able to both confirm transactions but also create more accounts. To onboard the masses, we believe we all need to pitch in. So we're shopping hardware (16gb ram and at least 1tb of SSD because this blockchain has already become huge enough that our CEO had to give up setting up the node due to a 500gb SSD that didn't cut it in regards of needs 2021 for a node) while finishing up some new features in the mobile app before launch. 

We're still happy about both the alpha, beta and the web-version so far as we're both (steadily) finding our place in this large ecosystem of both dApps and Social applications as well as expanding functionality to be able to serve more needs than mere social. 

If this pandemic has taught us one thing, then it's that we're able as a society (on a macro level) to huddle up and take action. We at Deegram are hoping for the best in regards of vaccination and safety measures put into effect due to Covid-19. Even here in Norway, they're (the government, led by the prime minister) considering curfew and increasing covid-tests at the borders, so things are still hectic. 
Best of wishes to all the magnificent users and accounts on the HIVE blockchain! Hope you all are well during these troubling times, and we're excited to show you the path ahead for us. 

PS: More info about our witness campaign once we are ready. We're also building an API with some improvements here and there that we're hoping other developers can utilize. Nothing fancy, just a couple of simplications based on our experiences. We're not the best at posting open-source projects, but we have a couple of ideas we think might work. In the mean time, thanks to all of our friends and followers for the continued support! To finally get funding means we can fill up our HIVE account soon and start creating accounts again like we used to. 

With warm regards
