Things have changed, the project has been taken over by FEIRM, join the discord for more informations about the upcoming swap.

The increase of EU laws (AML5 / GDPR) doesn't match anymore with the vision of the original WP. In this context, I don't feel we can continue in the same way and I feel obligated to integrate KYC to the project.

The community is split about this decision and many are against it in the context of a decentralized Internet. I think KYC and decentralized Internet are compatible but many objected that a decentralized Internet shouldn't be controlled nor subject to governments regulations.

On my side, I won't continue to lead the project if we do not comply to regulations. We then decided to put up a vote to choose how the project should be maintained. @frphm proposed himself as a leader (even temporarily) to pursue the vision @Michael Dye had in the original whitepaper and I'm proposing myself to continue the project by including KYC to it.

So you have 2 options now, continue with me and integrate KYC to the product or follow @frphm lead who will continue in the way the project was first thought.

Please vote on discord by adding the force logo under the name of the leader you would like to proceed with. The one with the most vote will keep or take back control of all the social networks, github and dev funds.

Thank you for your trust in Force Network and thank you for your support in helping us to deliver a better, fair and censor-free Internet for all!

- Masternode governance
We are working on a masternode governance website so that everyone can vote on our next proposals.

- Blog migration
For SEO purposes, we decided to migrate all the articles available on Medium on our own blog and domain name.

- Old codebase update
The new version of the actual wallet has been released last week.
We have released a Mac OS Mojave and a Ubuntu 18.04 version.
https://github.com/forceunited/force/releases
We also updated the masternode scripts if you wish to install it on Ubuntu 18.04.
https://github.com/forceunited/force-masternode-setup-ubuntu

- Migration website
The chain is 95% synchronized on the explorer. Once it is, the developer's address will be visible and everyone will be able to use the explorer.

Hello,

good question!

We are looking at Internet decentralization and privacy since the arrival of Internet in our homes.
With the advent of mass hosting services, big providers own more than 50% of Internet (https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/web_hosting/all).
Bitcoin and by extension the Blockchain allows to exchange values securely between individuals.

That's why we through that if values can be exchanged securely and privately, informations should not depend on third parties.
ISPs and Hosting servers are the third parties we want to eliminate by providing these services directly on the network by anyone.
TOR is providing a privacy layer but running malicious exit nodes would allow someone to spy on you and that's why we decided to incentivize these kind of nodes.

So I would say that without Bitcoin, we would not have done this project and without Internet there would be no Bitcoin.

Have a nice day!
Don't hesitate if you have further questions.

Thanks for your support!
Please follow our weekly updates for more informations regarding our progresses!

Thank you for the nice words!

The next steps we will be following are:
- the installation of the masternode governance website,
- the migration of all the articles from our medium blog to our own domain
- a video presentation of our future network

- Old codebase update
A new version of the actual wallet is released. The wallet update is recommended but not mandatory.
We have released a Mac OS Mojave and a Ubuntu 18.04 version.
https://github.com/forceunited/force/releases
We also updated the masternode scripts if you wish to install it on Ubuntu 18.04.
https://github.com/forceunited/force-masternode-setup-ubuntu

- Rebranding
The new logo, wallet designs and the new bitcointalk ANN are released, we will update all the social platforms during the week.

- Migration website

This wallet update keeps the same consensus, the swap at the opposite will include a bigger premine for development purposes.

The percentage is the same as before : 10%

Hello,

The wallets have new UI and new dev addresses but the network is the same, previous wallets are backward compatible too but we strongly encourage to update to the latests wallets as we will not support previous ones anymore.

- Old codebase update
As the dev addresses have been compromised, we will release a new version of the actual wallet to secure the dev funds and will include some changes on the wallet design. We're also working on releasing the Ubuntu 18.04 &  MacOS Mojave versions at the same time.

- Rebranding
We're working on the new identity and shall present it to you in the coming days.

-Whitepaper translation
We will release this week the french version of the whitepaper.

- Migration website
The chain is still not fully synchronized. Once it has, we will highlight the developer's addresses, so everyone can have a look at the developer's funds.

Hello,

here is a list of active nodes:

You can find an updated one here whenever you need:
https://explorer.masternodes.online/currencies/FOR/

The first code audit passed but we got another problem, the masternodes were implemented in a centralized way where the masternode owners get the rewards using a centralized server to dispatch them like it is the case in Horizen.

A long talk with lawyers made us aware that we cannot manage it this way as , in regards to Malta's and European's laws (and surely other abroad regulations), it will be considered that we manage user's funds. In order to be able to manage user's funds, we would need a banking licence which we cannot offer and we certainly do not want such things as Force Network as no vocation to be centralized.

We're now adding masternodes to this brand new code base in a decentralized way which is requiring more time and testing. While finishing this, we will reveal our new visual entity, websites and start marketing it once closer to the final result (which will be sealed by the open sourcing of the code).

Hello SourGreenApple,

Sorry but we are not promoting nor registering to shared masternode's services as they are centralized.
We are on other services but we did not request them to add us nor marketing these services.

Have a nice day!

Thank you!
I believe we are listed on your website since November 2017.

Have a nice day!

I wouldn't trust an exchange that is not able to do the due diligence for their Orbit Launchpad and listed a coin stealing our ticker.

Tried to contact them via email, no answer.
