Do you have any linkedin profiles for your developers? All of your developers have only the git and twitter links. At least one of them has a linkedin profile, right?  But anyway, who are the possible users for the contractual money application? Please elaborate more on its nature. Thanks.

When will you guys produce a non-technical friendly video? The features of ERGO, why the smartcontracts are better, what scorex means for ERGO, the pool resistant features, the built-in security, a brief explanation of ERGO data, etc.

I look forward to seeing what is produced ! Great project

Not sure about video, if we are talking about coming days.

But I've made the forum https://www.ergoforum.org/ , and going to create threads there on Ergo features there. It would be quicker than writing full articles.

Ergo Mainnet 3.0.4 released. This release is introducing a timestamp bugfix in block candidate generation algorithm. Highly recommended for miners.

On video, one enthusiast promised to deliver something here. However, we would be happy to see more videos done by community members. Bonuses will be paid for that for sure.

Please try AMD miner, it is more stable than anytime before now https://github.com/mhssamadani/ergoAMDminer

We have enough material for 3.0.5 and even 3.1.0 (a release which will require for re-syncing with a fresh database). In particular, improvements we already have for being included are providing 2x memory footprint reduction and 3x faster sync.

3.0.5 will also introduce a new transaction assembler which tries to avoid creating too big transactions and collecting dust automatically.

And for sure we're working on getting more API methods to expose Ergo features to application developers.

With the improvements done we will start to recommend miners to raise up computational limits few weeks later. For that, a miner just needs to write (an individual) target value into node config (and restart the node). Then the node will automatically vote for raising the limit while it is no more than the target value (by creating blocks with a vote included). If 50+% of miners are voting for raising the limit during the epoch (of 1,024 blocks), the next epoch will start with the limit increased by 1%.

Ergo gateway on WavesDEX is working! And so EFYTs buy-back started! Yesterday 1K testing payment was sent to the gateway, today 10K Ergs passed the gateway. All 11K Ergs were used to buy back EFYTs by creating orders @ 1.000 Ergo/EFYT rate. 11K EFYTs bought back are burnt. All these actions are traceable, Waves account for the Foundation is https://wavesexplorer.com/address/3PK9QAbwufVJQ2YVLdNxgVnAqG4iciw9LYE

Ergo Mainnet 3.0.5 released - This release is introducing an improved box selector aka transaction assembler and memory footprint reduction thanks to optimized (de)serialization

AMD miner devs reported that issue w. prehashing has been solved. So now AMD cards w. 8GB RAM should be highly competitive. Mining software link: https://github.com/mhssamadani/ergoAMDminer

Ergo reference client v.3.0.6 is out! https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v3.0.6

Next release would be 3.1.0 probably, with optimized (3x faster in our tests) database layer.

Now we are going to make node friendly to applications. We have some external teams willing to develop tokenization module for commodities, full-fledged wallet (w. support for tokens and contractual applications), ultra-light mobile wallet with atomic swaps, somewhat decentralized pool, oracles. Working closely with them, we will deliver API updates, tutorials, open-source applications. And if you are willing to build applications on top of Ergo (Lightning/Rainbow network, DEXes, mixers, community currencies etc) please let us know! If you are willing to invest in applications on top of Ergo please let us know too!
