Here are some of the highlights for those of you who are not yet interested in reading the whitepaper

• No ICO
• ODIN.CHAT, the flagship ODIN Blockchain mobile app is currently in alpha testing by community members with launch expected in April 2019
• Over 1000 masternodes set up by community members across the globe within 3 weeks of the airdrop distribution
• We are keen to support good causes, especially non-profit organisations helping users to protect their personal data from third parties
• Staking rewards structure has been specifically balanced in favour of a increasing the % of rewards which are available for masternode operators to vote on for funding community projects
• Low percentage of foundation holdings (15% maximum, decreasing over time, locked for supporting future development growth, not staking)
• Core team members and supported community contributors available for regular AMAs
• Real, regular updates about the technology we are building, with Github integration into community channels
• Well-documented open source code and repositories on Github
• ODIN.CHAT has many new features and modular components in the pipeline

Hey there - I noticed at the beginning of this thread there are some useful details - but some are out of date. Is it possible for someone on the project to update here for new people like me to be up to date? Thank you so much!

Also, I heard there is a new dark-themed ODIN wallet coming out soon with additional features. Is this true (and when)? Also, how would I get involved in beta-testing? Is there anything like that being planned so that the ODIN community can provide feedback?

Great post, thanks for the share.

Can one of the official ODIN Society Co-operative members review my question about the most recent progress on various ODIN projects here? Only asking as I spotted that the official list of progress was posted several months ago. I know there's lots going on with blockchain and private chat app development as I have been on your official Discord (and keep up to date with the weekly Medium blog posts). It would be super to have a summarized recap here on BitcoinTalk as I know many of my pals are not on Discord or Medium, but are on here. Many thanks!

👋 Hello Chickromero. Our Q4 roadmap is focused primarily on the redesign of our Core Qt Wallet along with various bug fixes and enhancements, including the official support of Segwit. This wallet update will be mandatory. Anyone not running the latest release of 1.6.x will end up on a forked chain with anyone else that chose not to update. I'll post additional details of this update including when (estimated date/blockheight) you'll need to update by.

Aside from our Qt Wallet refresh, we're also focusing on initial support for ODIN Chat on the App Store. As this is our initial launch on the App Store, certain features or functionality may not be enabled. We aim to get our feet on the ground and continuously improve the experience for both iOS and Android users alike.

Finally, we're in touch with another design resource to provide some thoughtful redesigns/improvements that can be made across the board: our primary website, our MASH website, and our ODIN Chat application. As these are the initial concept design talks, implementation may not begin or be seen at least until Q1 2020.

ODIN Core Wallet Release Update!

As we near Midgard, the next phase of ODIN Blockchain's current reward cycle, we've been working on a large quality of life update for our core blockchain wallet. This wallet update includes work done by the amazing teams at PIVX and Phore as well as a full interface refresh with an official dark theme. There are also new ways to manage your Masternode armada and the Monthly proposals.

With v1.6 you'll be able to add new Masternodes and edit existing Masternodes through the wallet itself (no more text file updating!). We've also added a nifty feature to make setting up a new Masternode even easier when using our Masternode hosting service: MASH. The update also allows the ability to create a Proposal and submit it through the wallet as well, and vote on current proposals.

This update will be considered a MANDATORY RELEASE. Which means ODIN Blockchain will be forking to accept new consensus rules. You will need to update your wallets before the date which will be announced concurrently with the official release. There will be at minimum, a one month grace period before the fork. Everyone running the latest release will be fine.

If you are interested in getting a first hand view of the new wallet, we have recently restarted our Testnet and released official v1.6.0-next Testnet builds. You can download the new wallet TODAY and begin checking out the new features. It has been specially configured to not run on mainnet. There are some FAQs as well if you have questions about the Testnet.
