Join the discord and hang out a while. Devs are there often, mods are always in contact, etc. They don't release set dates for things and I'm fine with that. If you watch closely you can get some ideas when things are coming. They showed a sneak peak of the market yesterday, and it's in testing. So that will come very soon.

Well, I see "Creativechain" was already taken, so I've set up "Creativecoin".slack.com

Here's the slack invite:

https://join.slack.com/t/creativecoin/shared_invite/MjIyNjEwODg0Mjc0LTE1MDE5MDk5NTctOTlmZjQ2MDA5YQ

I invite all to join. Hope to see you in there, posting updates, devs.  When y'all are ready, I'll happily relinquish control of the group to the development team.

I have recently written an article about EquiTrader.
In this article I give a full overview of its features, reasons to invest, its roadmap and more!

Once we are about to launch the first platform I will write a follow up article.

All the news you need is in the discord dude. Just join us all there.

RaiBlocks Newsletter 23rd July 2017

Introduction
This will hopefully be a short newsletter published every 2 weeks with info and updates in regards to RaiBlocks including core development and third party development. If you would like to get involved please get in contact (see details at the end).

Core Wallet/Node Development
In last 14 days there have been 17 commits including some GUI changes as well as changes to the core to improve optimisation and improve syncing nodes. This is good progress towards a new release. - https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/commits/master
@vraken has joined the core dev team - he plans to start with some small bugs and go from there.

Beginning of 3rd party games
The last few weeks there has been lots of development of 3rd party games - RaiBlocks is ideal for games due to its near instant transactions and no fee. If you would like to develop or integrate RaiBlocks into a project you can either run your own node and use the RPC (good for a big project) or you could use the web api for the YapRai wallet - for more information check out #development and #yaprai_api on the slack channel.
Check out these games - remember that some involve gambling so stay safe!

Interview of RaiBlocks User
Helmi M (@MatheLZard on telegram)

1)How did you find out about RaiBlocks?
I know RaiBlocks since February, i found RaiBlocks when i read it in bitcointalk forums.

2)How have you used RaiBlocks?
I think RaiBlocks have a good cryptocurrency coin because having a very active community. Therefore I made RaiBlocks my investment cryptocurrency.

3)Where is RaiBlocks going to be in 6 months?
RaiBlocks will be in the big marketplace, because gradually many Investors have been eyeing RaiBlocks as a place to invest very well in the field of cryptocurrency.

Technical Analysis of a Feature
What Does ‘Not Pocketed’ Mean?
This means that the destination wallet hasn’t yet received the send block - this is nearly always as this wallet is not completely synced up. A XRB transaction consists of 2 blocks, a send block from the sending wallet and a receive block from the receiving wallet - both need to be fully synced for the transaction to go ahead.
Therefore if you have sent XRB and it isn’t pocketed then you just need to wait for the destination wallet to sync, do not worry - your XRB aren’t lost.

Dev Profile
SergSW (@SergSW on telegram or @sergsw on slack)

1)What Projects Do You Work On?
RaiWalletBot, RaiBlocksJS, RPC extensions

2)What makes RaiBlocks easier to use then other crypto?
Note: ideal future situation. People shouldn’t care about high commissions and 1 hour confirmation delays, RaiBlocks usage will be as easy as cash. If you buy 10 USD pizza, 1.5 USD commission is too expensive. You can remember some good crypto with relatively low commissions like DogeCoin, but imagine Doge with 100 TX/second & commission will be expensive again. Without commissions RaiBlocks can be used by anyone.

3)Whats the main challenge for RaiWalletBot?
For RaiWalletBot is was "How to handle several thousands incoming transaction in 1-2 hours?" :joy: (By using OpenCL and a dedicated GPU instead of CPU work).

4)Where is RaiBlocks going to be in 6 months?
In the middle of distribution :wink: Actually users will acknowledge XRB usefulness with more services to come


Feedback is welcome regarding the newsletter, you can contact me @jayycox on slack or telegram. It would be great if people wanted to review some of the services e.g. the new games.

Hey all,

Just a quick announcement that I've made a simple arcade game:
http://stats.yapraiwallet.space/games/arcade/

 - jump around and collect stars and diamonds, the diamonds are actually blocks/transactions realtime from the raiblocks blockchains. Free demo but if you play the main game and send 1XRB you enter the draw where every 12hrs there are prizes for top scorer in one game, top total scorer and random player prize. You can send more if you want to add to the prize draw (less then 1xrb just goes into the prize fund and doesn't let you play!) and the credit lasts for the whole session (if you close the browser/tab then you'll have to send 1xrb again to play)

Just a bit of fun really but also get to checkout how quick raiblocks can be (when you play the main game once you've entered your address the game waits for the 1xrb, testing from my yaprai wallet from sending 1XRB takes about 5-10 seconds before its credited).

Currently working on adding touchscreen support to be played on mobile devices.
