Sunday Meeting February 04th Highlights:Please find below highlights from Sunday's Skype meeting.Opening remarks: "I'd like to thank everyone for attending tonight's important Skype meeting. Many of the decisions being made right now in Slack and in this group will affect the network for the next thousand years. So they're important. This is because the larger Goldcoin gets the harder it will be to hard fork."
1. We have just initiated Testnet Version 2 with the new Goldcoin client. This latest update features a new checkbox inside the client that allows the sending of free transactions under 1000 bytes in size. The median transaction size is 226 bytes meaning most transactions will be eligible for free transactions.
Each block has 5% (100 KB) reserved for free transactions. This means the Goldcoin network can accommodate 440 free transactions each 2 minutes (each block) or a total or 316,800 free transactions per day. This amount will be increased to 1 million transactions per day this fall when we increase the block size.
2. Quantum proofing. It has been suggested that we explore the possibility of making Goldcoin quantum computer proof. This would give us an additional edge over other cryptocurrencies that lack this protection.
3. There are currently two whitepapers being developed; 1 short version, and 1 long version. The whitepapers will describe in detail the advantages of using Goldcoin and provide technical information about the inner workings of the Goldcoin protocol.
4. It was suggested on Telegram yesterday that we update the website's "About" page to include all the developers from our Slack team. This update is now complete with a complete list and bio of each or our six talented developers.
Website About page: https://www.goldcoin.org/about/5. Goldcoin has decided to end its relationship with C-CEX after reports of missing deposits and horrible support. This leaves us with two fine exchanges perfectly capable of handing our trading volume. Once the new client is released later this month, we will actively pursue additional listings with reputable exchanges.
8. We have produced an easy to understand comparison table that outlines the key differences between Goldcoin and Bitcoin and Litecoin.
9. We are adding events weekly to the 2018 Goldcoin World Tour. There currently have events scheduled in the United State, India, and Germany.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.” ~ Muhammad Ali
