BTW, an article about our project with the central bank of Cambodia was in the newspaper today:

We are not specifically mentioned, but we (Soramitsu) are the vendor making the project. We are using Hyperledger Iroha, which is the same blockchain that is used for Sora!

[makoto1337]

We released Hyperledger Iroha v1 after 2.5 years of development: https://www.hyperledger.org/blog/2019/05/06/welcome-hyperledger-iroha-1-0-flattening-the-dlt-learning-curve

Hyperledger Iroha is the blockchain technology that powers a part of the Sora DAE (Decentralized Autonomous Economy). Please try it out and enjoy!

I was able to talk about XOR and our decentralized autonomous economy and technology at Pioneers in Vienna last week. It was a great way for us to get some exposure about our project from high quality, mainstream people. I will try to post some photos from the event later, but for now I just wanted to give an update on that.

great to see a project, which doing real work, not just copy somebody else sources and immediately trying to sell it to investors.  Will be glad to see project progress!

This is in Japanese, but it is an article about the Hyperledger Iroha release event. Nobuyuki Idei (former CEO of Sony; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuyuki_Idei) was kind enough to speak at the event as well.

Kazumasa Miyazawa, who works at Soramitsu, recently spoke at the Japanese fintech meetup and they wrote this nice article about us: https://medium.com/tokyo-fintech/soramitsu-japanese-blockchain-gem-cf47ca5b8fcd

It is nice to see some more press mentioning Sora.

Coindesk mentioned Sora in their article about D3 that just came out: https://www.coindesk.com/russias-central-depository-to-launch-security-token-blockchain-next-month

Nikkei, one of the largest newspapers in Japan, also just ran an article about Soramitsu and our Sora Identity project: https://www.reddit.com/r/SORA/comments/bqvi8k/indonesian_bank_bca_uses_hyperledger_iroha_for/

We did this test with BCA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Central_Asia), one of the largest financial groups in Indonesia. It was based on a paper I published last year about the Sora Identity protocol: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8377927

Sora Identity is a self-sovereign identity protocol and it is being used to manage reputation in the Sora Decentralized Autonomous Economy.

Here is an English press release about our identity project with BCA in Indonesia: https://www.newswire.com/news/applications-of-soramitsus-sora-platform-and-hyperledger-iroha-for-20902012

Is there a version of the white paper available yet?

We put a draft in our telegram chat. I don't think we will share it outside of the chat for now.

As a summary, to me, the message of Sora is about strength through collaboration. People work together to decide how tokens should be created and allocated and what the rules of the system should be.

I just watched the new Sora commercial.  Amazing job!  So excited for the release of this project!

Do you need to be listed on the exchange?

[makoto1337]

We are happy to announce that we have put together a simple video explaining our philosophy.

Please enjoy: https://vimeo.com/339481444

This video has been in the works for awhile; the script was written almost a year ago. I guess good things take time.

Tokyo Fintech just released a really great podcast with Soramitsu CEO Makoto Takemiya.  Many topics are covered, including Soramitsu's highly anticipated new token, XOR.

Whitepaper is an important and mandatory document that you have to publish to the public as a manifestation of your project so that Sora has clear and easy-to-understand the goals

It will be published when we are happy with the presentation. We aren't doing an ICO and the project isn't launched yet either, so there is not a huge rush. We received valuable feedback from the draft we put out in the telegram chat and are making improvements now.

But I think the whitepaper is by its nature somewhat long and harder to understand. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask them here.

Saw this video today explaining some of Sora's ideas on creating a rational economic system.

Excited to read the white paper when it is finally published!

I am roaming around your telegram group and it is so quiet there. Maybe if you need telegram managers we have a team to help you with this project. Also I am so amazed on how this proof-of-concept on this sora chain affects the economy. I am looking forward to check your whitepaper to generate some ideas on how to market or advertise this project. Good luck for the upcoming interviews.
