Purple has turned 1 year old today! Read about our story so far here. Congratulations and this is hoping for many more years. Better yet, this is a toast to the beginning of bigger and better things from Purple. Can't wait for it to step out in all its royal glory and take its rightful place. How goes the development? |

Better yet, this is a toast to the beginning of bigger and better things from Purple. Can't wait for it to step out in all its royal glory and take its rightful place. How goes the development? Thank you for the kind words! For the past month I have been focusing entirely on the virtual machine and smart contracts aspect of the protocol and all I can say is that the design of the vm is mostly finished and it is quite a beauty. There will be a blog post detailing this soon. The development speed is still quite slow since I am still the only active core developer but I am currently attempting to onboard other enthusiasts so this might change soon. |

How about just putting up your entire requirement on angel.co and have the community come to you rather than you going to them. Pretty sure you'll be inundated by applications in no time if you post there |

Pretty sure you'll be inundated by applications in no time if you post there I don't exactly have the resources to hire people right now (which, I presume, is what angel.co is for) but I could certainly try this and maybe have a bunch of passionate people find out about this which wouldn't hurt at all right now. The experimental nature of the project doesn't help either in this regard. Most people I met say they need some kind of proof on my part that it will actually work and this is quite hard to provide until the code is mostly written, which is what I need the devs for. It becomes a chicken and egg situation. Imagine Satoshi trying to recruit devs for building Bitcoin before he had any proof that it will actually work. I think that's why it was written by one or maximum a few people and after the concept has been proven, everyone realised that it was working. All I can do is to suck it up and continue to write code by myself up until a basic testnet will always stay up. In a way I am grateful for this, even though it is very hard. The difficulties I encounter right now must have been much greater for Satoshi back in the day so I cannot complain. |

See a few ads on angel.co that have zero payment and offered some sort of compensation model mostly in the blockchain's native cryptocurrency... Doesn't hurt to try, right? At the very least, you get more eyeballs for the project. Wish I wasn't so mathematically retarded... |

A big problem right now is that the token is not liquid yet and I intend to keep it this way until the project is more mature. I am mostly focusing on getting right the consensus algorithm this month. If this is written well and tested all the way I believe I can start to focus actively on talking with and recruiting more people. Let's hope this goes well. Also, if this is done, I believe a basic testnet is not that far away. |

Tokens may be illiquid, however a testnet that the public can play around with is bound to become the proverbial proof-in-the-pudding |

In order to provide a better way for the community to engage with us, we have replaced our telegram channel with a dedicated group which anyone can join and use for any kind of discussion related to the Purple Protocol. Join the discussion now! https://t.me/purple_protocol |

Join the discussion now! https://t.me/purple_protocolFinally! Physical space for real-time discussion! Ok, well telegram is as close to physical as we can get to interact with development team. BTT is great too, but not as real-time as one would often wish. Also, saw that the Testnet is estimated three months from now! Awesome! |

Yes, the next thing we hope to get up and running soon is a dedicated forum. |

O.o contribution guidelines! Let me see if there's any applicable to me... worst case scenario I'll just come up with Purple Protocol merchs - especially T-shirts. Something like: "Think Blockchain Think Purple" or "Purple Rain Purple Hills Purple Protocol"  |

This is the biggest update yet! Was away for a while and came up to see the market's gone into some sort of run and now this. Also think we owe this ""Dr. Brain" some sort of gratitude for bringing those pain-points to light |

Architecture updates
In order to not break the validator pool, we have to make the state transitions explicit somehow. To achieve this, we will need to determine the sequence in which validators are joined when put against the stream of blocks that is produced by the pool.
Do you think that such dramatic changes will scare the big players? It’s not just small changes its change everything.

Crypto is a very unique industry, where the line between "deserves to be in jail" and "leading member of the community" is as thin as one-ply toilet paper.

It definitely is a scary and dramatic change but otherwise we cannot achieve what we intend, which is a really fast, but secure open blockchain. At the same time, what I meant by making the state transitions explicit is that instead of joining validators one by one while the pool is processing blocks, we have to instead stop the pool, join a set of new validators in a deterministic sequence/order, and then start the pool again with the updated validator set. In this way, the state transition is explicit and therefore safer/manageable. In the other way, some validators might witness the new node while others do not, which most definitely results in a fork. |

However, I am still not aware of his true identity or if he wishes to reveal it. |
