Hello everyone.
Yes, we are alive.
No, we are not abandoning bitcointalk.
You're right in that we've been active in other communication channels and not as much here - and we apologize for the silence.
We've been quite preoccupied with the other aspects of our ICO.
Attempting to capitalize on the recent Facebook scandal without a plan would've been a misstep and a misapplication of our resources.
We could still potentially use it to our advantage, but there are other matters that take priority at this time.
Right now, the devs have been largely focused on tackling bugs and the issue of monetization.
As well as economics for the token.
Meanwhile us members of the marketing team have been busy applying to many different exchanges that are big and small. It's been a very rewarding learning process because we're getting to know the industry more, as well as many of the different standards across the industry when it comes to listing a token.
We've been making many small changes to the site, such as the news portal and web application.
The web application is actually still available. Here is the link to the page:
https://sphere.social/hello/Token distribution will take priority for the time being since we're doing it manually, one by one. So we ask that if you're a supporter of our project, please remember to enable custom tokens on your ERC20 wallet. Many of our users actually haven't added their address yet.
We are pleased to say that we are making some progress on getting on a larger exchange as opposed to a smaller one.
The market has changed, there is no denying that.
But it hasn't and will not hinder us from moving forward and continuing development. Markets change, and so will we.
Right now, giving back to our supporters is our number one priority.
For April, we are focused on fostering growth and substantive development for our network.
That is why in the very near future, we plan on announcing a closed beta for a new feature that will become available sometime later this month for the app.
The ICO will end April 9th as planned. Afterwards we will shift our marketing strategy.
