Dear Stakeholders,

I have been in contact with Robert Bakker of the Electra Foundation these past days. They have come to the final stage of negotiations with a top exchange which has been operating since 2013. It is well known but I am not allowed to name it. If I ask you to name two top exchanges founded in that year, you will probably guess it. Electra has passed all required criteria and the screening stage. There is some extra funding needed to make it happen. The Electra Foundation has set up a fundraiser here:

https://electraproject.org/exchange-listing-donations/

I will also donate from private funds because it is one that I have always dreamed of seeing Electra listed on in order to boost liquidity, prestige and accessibility. I commend the work the foundation and community have done in these negotiations.

Dear Stakeholders,

Today marks the third year of Electra’s public launch. I appreciate and commend the multiple community efforts including the successful launch of ElectraPay, exchange listings, new partnerships and user support.

On another note, I would like to remind everyone to stay safe during the current pandemic and self-isolate if infected in order to minimize the risk of spread as is standard procedure.

My kindest regards to you all.

We have discussed this issue before.

Never give control of your wallet to another person unless you absolutely trust them.

I had nothing to do with the 160 million ECA loss you are claiming and neither did Electra’s codebase.

Accusing the entire project to be a scam is far-fetched and unfounded.

Cryptobridge 15 Aralık'tan sonra kapanacağını açıkladı. Orada Electra'nız varsa, o tarihten önce çekiniz.

Cryptobridge will completely shut down after December 15. Please make sure you to withdraw your Electra from there before this date.

Dear stakeholders,

Coinbene appears to have updated to the latest wallet and unlocked deposits/withdrawals and trading.

I know. Neither me or cryt0_l0rd was referring to you.

Thanks for your support. All prominent cryptocurrencies with an open to all thread get FUD attacks. It is completely normal.

Around 2.64 BTC went into the ECA buyback. 1 BTC each for Zcash, ETH, Golem, Civic. Rest is in BTC. Nothing has been spent.

There will be about 29 million not included in the total balance. That is in Cryptopia and they were unable to transfer it after announcing the buyback. This amount will be added after they finish their liquidation.

Half of the ECA sold has already been bought back as I mentioned before. The remainder will stay hedged for the long term. This conversion was not done to immediately spend it all. It was done so there is a reserve from other sources if needed. The reserve will eventually prioritize funding technical development rather than marketing or exchange fees. When spent on Electra, the stakeholders will be notified.

Electra is the biggest gainer of the day. Well done!

It covers both.

I think it is because there is a rule that newbie accounts cannot vote on polls.

Try again and let me know if it works this time.

Dear stakeholders,
I have a couple of announcements to make.


Announcement 1:
There has been opposition by parts of the community regarding the amount hedged and so a gradual buyback was made as promised. Expect a total amount of about 46,500,000 ECA to be transferred to the wallet within 24 hours from multiple sources.


Announcement 2:
We are in the process of developing an Android wallet for Electra. There is a tough decision to make:

Option 1: We can either have a staking wallet with pruning as originally promised but due to the recent increase in block size it could potentially take up about 3 GB even in pruned state assuming blocks are full. A reduction of our block size or some other modification to the blockchain would be necessary if this path is chosen so that it takes up less space. With staking mode turned on, phone battery will be reduced quicker. Also network security may be impacted if people prefer staking on mobile. On the plus side you will be able to stake on the go 24/7.

Option 2: We can have a wallet that is non-staking and pruned. It will take up less space and consume less phone battery than a staking mobile wallet. This one will take a shorter amount of time to develop.

Whichever one is chosen, I will consider my long term goal of “create Android mobile staking wallet with pruning" complete. So if you have strong opinions on one or the other make it known here. I will mainly rely on the opinion of the foundation and stakeholder comments/votes while making this decision.

Via an exchange.

We had a guide during the upgrade period but it seems to have been taken down. Basically:

1) Backup your wallet.dat file found in %appdata%/Electra. Do not overwrite it or delete it.

2) Except for wallet.dat, delete everything regarding Electra. Both program files and the content in %appdata%/Electra.

3) Install the new desktop wallet. Run once and close. Then put your own backed up wallet.dat file into %appdata%/Electra in place of the newly generated wallet.dat


Let us know if this worked for you. If not, write here, to our Discord or to https://electra-support.org/ and we'll resolve this.

Dear Stakeholders,

Today is the 2nd anniversary of Electra’s launch on Bitcointalk. What has been achieved in the past year is phenomenal.

- We have upgraded to a new blockchain.
- Dedicated community members registered a foundation dedicated to Electra in the Netherlands.
- Many, many new exchanges have listed Electra.
- Hardware, web and mobile wallets made available.
- Amazing partnerships formed that will enable us to reach a larger network of potential users.
- New community roadmap and whitepaper created.
- Live video guides/calls/meetings created.
- Much more reference material regarding Electra made available.
- Electra was involved in multiple charities.
- Electra was involved in blockchain expos.
- Community was involved in voting, selecting new parameters for upgrades, crowd funding and forming ties with other projects.

Achievements can be viewed in more detail here.

Electra’s new Proof-of-Stake Version 3 Extended (POS v3.0e) consensus is pioneered by our team. It fixes vulnerabilities that existed in POS 3.0 and distributes stakes proportionally. You can read more on Electra’s new POS consensus in the community whitepaper. I personally feel lucky to have worked with such dedicated, ambitious and honest people on improving Electra. I am also very thankful to our stakeholders who have played a large part in many exchange listings by voting, for helping out other users in our communication channels and providing us with feedback. I look forward to the remainder of the year with excitement.

I am told the term "risk management purposes" has created confusion. By this I mean being 100% in one asset is risky nothing else.
