Fellow Spartans,
  My apologies on the absenteeism over the past couple weeks. I normally come in and put some updates but those of you know I took on a second job to help fund larger projects with Spartancoin. On a personal side to this I have been working 12 hours a day for the last 9 weeks without a day off so I have been working with developers for the 1-2 hours a night as I could. I think all in all I am working 18 hours days average. so I am a tad beat. Crashed a little this past week. Anyhow, I am almost done up here, I have a week left then back home where I can go back to full time on Spartancoin. Was a rough choice on my part to take this but it is a means a better end, so I took it. I figured I could manage the project from the top of Alaska but the internet was shotty so that slowed me up. I have connected with many developers on this forum, elance, and reddit in terms of working on the items I need to kick us off. my plan was to be done in August when I returned home and we would be up and running full force. I am close.

At moment and I hate to say it... PoS is coming still. If anyone has worked around this, finding quality knowledgeable available developers for this is a treat to say the least. I am on Dev #4 and he claimed in less than a week he will have PoS. We are on Day 4 atm so he has a short time. This is a pivotal moment for us as well and will move us forward.

Secondly the android app, Few tweaks needed to release first launch without the social connections I have planned. But again a Dev that is unavailable when they claim they would be. But it is coming I just sent a list of tweaks needed to help get this ready. C-cex is used in the app for valuating the coin for currency conversion so thank you for posting c-cex was looking to remove us. I did mention to the exchange how I point people to c-cex. I like their exchange. I like the interface and have spoke with the dev on some changes. Again a working relationship I intend to keep and one I will pass on to other exchanges as well. I believe in the business relationship and the benefit they provide us as well as we do them.

On the social side of the app, I have been approached on a concept to allow coins to be sent on multiple social networks without the need for tipping bots and it peaked my interest. We will be incorporating it into the 2nd release of the android wallet once the bugs are worked out. To me it will put us at a one of a kind position on that aspect.

The website, I burned through one developer who claimed to be able to work on the project. Was someone I worked before so I trusted them. Was told would be a month. So i let it be was working offline. Month came around and said I needed to find someone else he wasnt able to do it. Wasted my time. Took me 3 weeks to find someone who appeared to have the skill sets I needed. site is underway and I am seeing more done now than ever and very excited about it. I am looking for the August finish dates. probably closer to the middle or end of the month for completion. Once the site is completed I can work on the Facebook integration.

I need all the pieces to come together and then we will be full speed. The community has been awesome with the steady support. I truly appreciate it and my apologies for being out of pocket for too long. Not my intention. Thank you as well to Darktrix for checking up on me on skype. Didnt realize the forum was as neglected as it was.


Also I mentioned a bit ago about the race in Australia. I was to set up a donation part to get help creating tshirts for the race. Should have 50,000 people in attendance. I just went ahead and purchased all the items and will have them made and shipped. Was busy getting things organized and pricing I lost time and couldn't wait for donations. I have means to make my own custom apparel so it is a huge benefit to spartan in terms of being able to promote. I can make just about anything at wholesale cost. Its going to be a huge benefit as we get moving and begin promoting all around the world.

I am back to the grind now connecting with project devs tonight and keep them moving forward. Thank you again for your patience. We still have more to go and we will get there. Anyone who wants to contribute to the projects or has projects of their own in mind feel free to contact me and we can talk.

Keep the voting going on Mintpal as well. We can make it. Everything will be close, exciting and all will be perfect timing.

Aroo!!
