il be passing on this one.
soil safe not new
hackathan any coin can announce that
the new SOILsafe is the up-to-date porting of the ethereum mist browser. the only difference in it right now is that the shapeshift functionality has been turned off. when and if we can get listed with shapeshift that will be a simple thing to re-enable. with our guide for DUST, we make it easier to start working with smart contracts, if thats an itch you need to scratch...
as for a hackathon.. there really havent been a whole lot of coin sponsored ones out there. even ETH, while theres been tons of hackathons based around the platform, most are sponsored by user groups or other blockchain connected companies, not the ETH devs themselves. we have the funds set aside, under contract. as SOILs valuation grows over the next few months, while the hackathon is ongoing, the awards funds, from us, grow in value as well.
im working on making inroads with other cryptocurrency development teams, seeing if i cant get small awards for specific types of dApps in the hackathon, say.. AnonCoin settting up a contract protected fund for the best anonymizing dApp or implementing Zerocoin or setting setting SOIL up with connectivity thru TOR or i2p, as an example... theres a LOT of currencies out there that have died or have no further development, and im avoiding those, seeking active developing altcoins... the other side of that is begin building those connections with other currency developers to be able to work with these cryptos in the future when we have crosschain interconnectivity... and can list those on a decentralized exchange...
speaking of which.. i had hoped to have SOIL-ex out last week, but life happened. im presently writing the "white paper" for the project, and trying to be as inclusive and informative in it as i can, and those of you who know my writing style and commitment to research and fact-checking, you know it will be long and well researched. SOILex is close to release, i promise you that, but i want to make sure i have documentation built properly to accompany it. i SHOULD have the white paper done later today, if not, then by sunday (have to drive to halifax tomorrow, a six hour drive, to pick up a couple ball pythons)
but, a hard working development team, as small as we are... persistent developments... a strong plan for future scalability... a verifiably transparent project... yeah, i can see how that wouldnt be everyones cup of tea. (chuckles)
