Our first commit was in December 2017. We have been thinking about this project since Q4 2017 and programming officially started in December 2017. We're working in a private repository for the TWIST toolbox, and will make the code open-source nearer to its release.

Only a little over 24 hours until the airdrop registration period ends, get those registrations in!

We've also noticed some people are still mining on the old chain. As mentioned before, since we have made some crucial changes to the network settings we will be needing to restart the blockchain. As a result any coins you mine on the current chain will not be valid!

The airdrop coins will be released shortly after Feb 15th and we will release a new wallet at that time as well.

Hi zuzuca, I've just tested the button and seems to be working for me. Might be an issue with your browser not running the javascript properly.
I've added you to the airdrop manually:

Hi raywolf1, I checked the database and you have been registered successfully 

Thanks for notifying us. The site seems to be up and running now.

The new wallets will be released around the same time we distribute the coins (after the airdrop registration ends). This will be shortly after February 15th.

Hi mstone, yes we are currently in discussions with exchanges to get TWIST listed, shortly after the airdrop is over. This also aligns with our outlined roadmap.

You only need to make 6 more posts, almost there 

We're aiming to have the whitepaper finished by the end of Q1. We're taking a development driven approach on this project, i.e. write the code, see what works and what doesn't, then do the formal write-up when the kinks have been worked out. This approach means we won't need to be retrospectively updating the whitepaper as changes are made on the coding side.

When we release the updated wallets after the airdrop distribution, we will provide instructions on how to import your generated address into the wallet (using the private key). As long as you have the private key you will be able to import your address into the wallet and access your coins.

As answered above, you're free to remove it after you've registered.

Just when you sign-up, the address is stored in our database at that point. If you've already signed up to the airdrop then feel free to change your Location back.

Hi rdynamics, good question. We're still deciding some of the more technical aspects but at a high level the API is designed to provide an easy to use interface for anyone looking to build an application on top of the TWIST blockchain. We want it to enable access to methods for writing/reading data to/from the blockchain, among other features. Basically an extension of the standard JSON RPC API available in the QT wallets.

Hi Gamedroc, yes you have 21 activity so you can enter the airdrop.

Hi BitcoinGoat, we're currently working on updating the wallets with a new chain and getting some stable nodes set-up along with a seeder node to create a more robust network. We'll be eliminating proof of work, and testing that the network runs smoothly with proof of stake before we distribute the coins for the airdrop. We'll also hopefully be providing information on bounties soon. You can check out our roadmap for the project's next stages.

Yep you can use either a generated address, or a wallet address to register for the airdrop, they are the same type of address. When the new wallets are released we will give instructions on how to import a generated address into the wallet, and also how to import an old wallet address into the new wallet.

Nope you're fine for now. When we release the new wallets we'll provide a tutorial for keeping the same address for the new wallet, its really easy.

Yes, when the new wallet is released we will give instructions on how to upgrade from the old wallet while keeping the same address.

170 million coins are going to be distributed in the airdrop, and it will be split evenly across all registrations. So if 1000 people register, then each person will receive 170,000 coins.
The windows wallet will be released shortly after the airdrop registration period ends when the coins are distributed.
