Particl Development Progress Report (20-08-2021)





The time has come for yet another weekly development report. This week has been one filled with progress, with solutions found and applied to all outstanding issues related to Particl V3.

However, to ensure that the fixes work as intended, and before officially marking them as fully resolved, we've decided to go ahead with one more round of community testing that should begin within the next few days. That'll also allow the team to monitor an interim solution that's been applied to the tricky ZMQ issue (more details further below).

This coming testnet round will be a public one, and we'll be putting extra focus on testing the applied fixes with the specific people who've initially reported them to ensure they're fixed on their environment. If no new problem arises, Particl V3 will then be ready for its mainnet release.

Let's get down to the details of this week's report!

Looks like the last testnet build before going live.  Is the wait almost over?   Shocked Shocked Shocked

Particl has development reports bereft of information but replete with sentences that are trimmed of meaning. I read a couple of them and it was similar to sleazy goo that is observed on a two-day chicken left out of fridge. Something is upgrading and something is getting fixed but what exactly, is not known. It is a subject for a debate I do not want to participate in.

Particl Development Progress Report (27-08-2021)

The time has come for yet another weekly development progress report. Although we didn't get a new Particl V3 testnet build this week, we've got a great update to communicate.

The star of the show this week is the ZMQ issue. Last week, we announced an interim solution that would allow us to release Particl V3 on mainnet with minimal compromise. In a last ditch effort to fix the issue before the next testnet round, core developer Tecnovert joined forces with desktop developer Arnold Bansemer to find a permanent solution. We are very happy to announce that the long-standing ZMQ issue is now permanently fixed with a unified solution across all operating systems! An interim solution is not needed anymore.

Particl Development Progress Report (03-09-2021)

Get up to speed with the recent Particl V3 progress report.



The time has come for yet another weekly development progress report and a little bird tells us you're going to like this one!

This week, most of the effort has been on finalizing the integration of the cold staking zap functionality into Particl Desktop. This was the last remaining item before a new Particl V3 testnet build can be released, and we're happy to say that it has been successfully completed!

That means we've initiated the process of building the new testnet version and will be releasing it publicly in the next 72 hours.
Particl Desktop Development Report
Build and Release the New Testnet Client

All that remains at this point is to build the new testnet version, test it internally, and then release it for one more round of public testing. All the issues highlighted in the progress reports dating from the last testnet client up until now have been resolved. One more time, we're asking for your help in testing the new client and trying to find any potential issue.

More specifically, here are our current areas of interest in regards to this specific testnet round.

    Test and verify that any previously mentioned issue is effectively resolved.
    Test the disabling of cold staking from the module and determine whether a previous issue is still present or not. In the previous codebase ("Particl V2"), it used to cause problems in some rare cases, but we haven't been able to reproduce it yet on our end. It may, or may not, still be present in Particl V3.

We are targeting the next 72 hours for the release of the new testnet version of Particl V3. So stay tuned for when the news drop on Particl News and the other usual communication channels.

New Particl V3 Testnet Build Available (05-09-2021)



As announced in our latest development progress report, all previously identified issues from the last testnet round have been resolved. As such, we have launched, this weekend, the fourth round of testing for Particl V3.

You can now download and test the most recent version of Particl V3, on testnet, and report back if you find any bug, issue, or odd behavior. Notably interesting is the new addition of the governance module on testnet, we encourage you to check it out!

If you encounter any problem while testing this new version of Particl V3 or have feedback to give, please add a "new issue" on Github (click here). Make sure to explain in detail the problem you’ve encountered, how to reproduce it, and the OS you’re using. The Particl developers will then pick it up and work on.

If no new major problem is found, this build will be ready to be released on mainnet. We will communicate more details as soon as we can!

Lots more to read in the blog post.....

Particl Development Progress Report (10-09-2021)




It's Friday, and you know what that means; progress report day! This week has been a happy one with the release of the new Particl V3 testnet builds. And so, most of the work on the desktop side of things has been about dealing with questions, assisting, and investigating (and fixing) more minor issues that have all come from the community.


Status of the Current Testnet Round
We're excited to announce that, as of yet, nothing significant has been reported in terms of blockers that may prevent a mainnet release. The only issue that may need some attention is related to some performance-related concerns that have been reported on the private-by-default Whonix OS. However, we do not foresee any delay caused by this problem as it is relatively minor and straightforward to fix.

Additionally, we'd like to take at least one more week of testing before initiating the process of releasing Particl V3 on mainnet. That's to allow more time for edge-case testing and make sure no new bug is found in the coming days.

As such, assuming no new issue is found in the days to come, we will be ready to announce Particl V3's mainnet release date next week!

Particl Desktop Development Report

Aside from looking into smaller issues and inquiries regarding the current Particl V3 testnet round (that you can track here), work has begun towards planning out the next updates and additions for Particl Desktop moving forward (based on items from the new roadmap). So, if nothing new regarding the current testnet requires attention, we'll start working next week on the changes planned for the v3.1 release, but also possibly future v3.2 and v3.3 releases as well.

One useful addition to Particl V3 since the launch of the current testnet round is the ability to split UTXOs for public transactions as well (not just anon transactions). The issue was reported by community member Kangoala; thanks for pointing it out! You can read more about it here: https://github.com/particl/particl-desktop/issues/1813

On the Particl Core side of things, we are happy to report that testing has resumed on BasicSwap with the closed beta group and that a few changes have been made to the protocol. Much more details regarding BasicSwap coming right after the release of Particl V3 on mainnet.

We're also excited to tease you by announcing that a new lightwallet client to easily store and use PART will join the Particl ecosystem very soon. Indeed, we can report that, today, the first successful mainnet transaction using Particl Electrum has been made!



First Particl Electrum transaction on mainnet: https://explorer.particl.io/tx/36949d5e5ea43b590cf4d20ac31662bc4890197fde77c0d185b46985ac5275e5



Thank you again for your support and passion for the project's mission. Exciting times are ahead, and while we encourage you to keep testing the current testnet version of Particl V3, we certainly look forward to announcing the mainnet release date.

We'll be publishing more information next week regarding the mainnet launch of Particl V3 and will, at the same time, communicate a few things coming right after or around this event. You can also expect the new roadmap to go live very shortly after Particl V3's mainnet launch.

Stay tuned and have a great weekend!

Main net release is 29th of September 2021


Particl V3 Release Date Announcement




In December 2019, we all embarked on the long and ambitious journey of rewriting Particl Desktop and the vast majority of Particl Marketplace. This would make both of them much easier to use, more flexible, secure, private, and, perhaps more importantly, set the stage for getting adoption from a broader range of audiences. This major and long-awaited upgrade is what is now known as “Particl V3”.

We are excited to announce, today, to announce that Particl V3 is going live, on mainnet, on the 29th of September 2021 at 12:00 UTC!





The long-anticipated Particl V3 and Particl Marketplace are going live on mainnet on the 29th of September 2021. Find out all the details in this blog post.

Particl Development Progress Report (24-09-2021)




With the week coming to an end, it's time for another development progress report. This week has mainly been focused on prepping, building, testing, and uploading Particl V3 builds for mainnet release. Indeed, mainnet Particl V3 builds have been circulated to a small network of sellers who've pledged to populate the marketplace with listings prior to the release to ensure a smooth launch with various items to sell right from the very start.

Additionally, a lot of research and testing have gone into some of the new roadmap items that are coming shortly after the mainnet launch of Particl V3. Interestingly, a lot of these items are intrically related to the "listing seeding proposal", which has been fully funded a few weeks ago, and are getting a slightly preferential treatment as they allow the proposed system to be deployed faster.

As you know, we are awaiting Particl V3's mainnet release, which is now less than a week away from now, to reveal the new roadmap. So make sure to keep your eyes right on Particl News following the launch; things are only starting to get interesting and the best is definitely yet to come!

Particl V3 Now Available on Mainnet

Cut off the middleman and break free from the grips of e-commerce giants with Particl's free, unrestricted, and private online marketplace.



In December 2019, we all embarked on the long and ambitious journey of rewriting Particl Desktop and the vast majority of Particl Marketplace. This would make them both much easier to use, more flexible, secure, private, and, perhaps more importantly, set the stage for getting adoption from a broader set of audiences. This major and long-awaited upgrade is what is now known as “Particl V3”, and as you probably realize by now, it was no simple task!

Today, we are thrilled to finally publicly release Particl V3 on mainnet!

Thanks to all of you in the community for your support, time, passion, experience, and dedication in shaping the future of e-commerce and protecting personal liberties. Our hats are off to you! And now, let’s give Particl V3 a spin!


Particl Marketplace in a Nutshell

Today’s e-commerce giants don't work for you. Instead, they’ve turned you into the product by massively collecting and using your data to gain money and power. This, unfortunately, leaves you exposed to unnecessary risks, damages your privacy, and restricts your opportunities in many ways.

It’s time to do what’s best for you; cut off the middleman and break free from their grips!




Particl Marketplace is a brand new type of e-commerce platform. It’s a free, unrestricted, and private online marketplace without any middleman. It uses distributed technology like blockchain and other peer-to-peer networks to improve your online shopping or selling experience by eliminating any intermediary. It is, in fact, the Internet’s only real free market environment.

This new type of marketplace unlocks a ton of benefits and opportunities that you won’t find on any other marketplace. That's because they are not possible using traditional web technology. When you use Particl Marketplace, you cut off the middleman and...

  •     Put an end to the reckless mining of your data
  •     Say no to the erosion of your private life
  •     Harden your protection against scammers, hackers, and other crooks
  •     Tear down artificial and arbitrary restrictions
  •     Gain access to previously unreachable opportunities and audiences
  •     Fight back against censorship, prejudice, and bias.
  •     Gain access to more affordable products to buy and improve your bottom line as a seller

Particl Development Progress Report (01-10-2021)




The end of this glorious week has arrived, and with that comes the weekly development progress report. This week has been a pretty busy one, and so we have quite a lot to report.

First thing first, this week has seen the release of the long-anticipated Particl V3 on mainnet, which includes the new Particl Desktop client and Particl Marketplace. We're happy to report that the release has gone exceptionally smoothly without any significant issue. A few minor problems have been reported concerning getting listings to show up, but they can be quickly remediated with a few manual steps that we are working on fixing. The related changes to fix those minor issues should go live pretty soon.

Additionally, a good portion of this week's focus has been on observing the network following the release, keeping an eye on the chat rooms to spot any problem and assist people with difficulties, and also answering many questions from the community both in the chat rooms, but also in private messages.



Particl V3, now finally on mainnet!

However, it's not because a lot of the focus has been around monitoring the release that there hasn't been any significant progress development-wise. In fact, it is quite the contrary; this has been a pretty productive week. So let's dive deeper into the details.

Particl Desktop Development Report

A small number of minor updates have been added and queued up for the next release of Particl Desktop. Thanks to everyone who's provided feedback (and continue to do so) based on their experience with the initial Particl V3 release.

In addition, here are the items that have seen progress this week but aren't yet fully ready.

  •    Update Particl Desktop and particl-market (marketplace codebase) to use Particl Core 0.21.
  •    Allow users to obtain the mnemonic of the marketplace-related wallets for backup purposes.
  •    A number of features related to better vendor inventory import/update, which includes the provision of a product code (allowing for updates to items via CSV amongst other things), the ability to update pricing via the batch publish window, and the ability to import images through the CSV file directly (with the possibility to specify the category and target market directly from the CSV coming soon as well).
  •    Usage of markdown in product descriptions on the marketplace to allow for better, more customizable formatting.
  •    Allowing for the sale of digital items with no need for a shipping address to be provided (i.e., download links, NFTs, user codes, etc.).

New Roadmap Revealed (2021)



With Particl V3 now live on mainnet, it’s time to jump right into a new phase for the Particl project. As such, we are happy to release the new updated development roadmap and major milestones ahead of us.

In this post, we’ll expand on Particl’s vision for the future and break down every roadmap item. We also have a few words on marketing, PR, adoption, and the new website so make sure to read this blog post in full!

  • Web framework

Particl V3 – The Foundation of Particl's entire ecosystem

The release of Particl V3 on mainnet represents a major milestone for the project. Indeed, Particl V3 is the new, more modern foundation on top of which the future of the Particl ecosystem will be built. Because the scope of this essential update was so massive, it took a long time to get ready but was a necessary step in the evolution of the project.

Indeed, Particl V3’s modular approach makes it easier and more efficient to use apps like Particl Marketplace. Still, many of its improvements are back-end functionalities and necessary improvements to the quality of the code. Simply put, all the changes introduced with Particl V3 make possible the majority of the roadmap items presented today....

Particl Development Progress Report (08-10-2021)



With the week coming to an end, the time has come for another weekly development progress report!

This week, we revealed the new, massive roadmap that will guide the development team through the next few months. And we are happy to report that there is already one item that is expected to be completed before the end of the weekend; displaying the mnemonics of market-related wallets and identities. This feature, which a few community members requested, is accompanied back-end improvements related to user identities, setting the stage for a broader use of identities in the future (i.e., reputation system).

Other than that, there are a couple of items currently under work. Let's check them out!


Particl Desktop Development Report

The development related to Particl Desktop is generally similar to last week.

  • Update Particl Desktop and particl-market (marketplace codebase) to use Particl Core 0.21. This is a recurring task that needs to be taken care of for all major releases of Particl Core, but 0.21 introduces some specific changes that require particular attention in relation to the marketplace.
  • Allow users to obtain the mnemonic of the marketplace-related wallets for backup purposes. This is a roadmap item and is expected to be completed before the end of the weekend. Note that this item turned out to be a bit more complex than initially anticipated. As a result, some back-end changes were required to the profile and identity system, which will come in handy later down the road.
  • A number of features related to better vendor inventory import/update, which includes the provision of a product code (allowing for updates to items via CSV amongst other things), the ability to update pricing via the batch publish window, and the ability to import images through the CSV file directly (with the possibility to specify the category and target market directly from the CSV coming soon as well).
  • Usage of markdown in product descriptions on the marketplace to allow for better, more customizable formatting.
  • Enable the sale of digital items with no physical shipping address requirement (i.e., download links, NFTs, user codes, etc.).

Particl Core Development Report

This week on Particl Core, an update to the SMSG code has been made, allowing for the funding of more SMSG messages per transaction. This intends to streamline the process of publishing large numbers of listings at once on the marketplace.

Also related to publishing large numbers of listings at once, an update has been made here to Particl Core to fix an issue that prevented sellers, in some cases, to list a large number of listings at once (26+). These updates are all part of the team's post-v3 release assessment and efforts to fix immediate problems...

Marketing Particl to the World

Get familiar with Particl's short to mid term marketing and adoption plan.




Over the last few weeks, the “Particl reboot” has been going full steam ahead. Shortly after raising funds from the decentralized treasury fund, the Particl team has set up a few initiatives in motion and been cranking up development!

In terms of significant milestones since, we find the long-anticipated Particl V3 mainnet release, Particl Core catching up to the latest Bitcoin version (0.22), the upcoming BasicSwap DEX nearing its open beta phase, and the reveal of a work-in-progress wallet: Electrum (with support for a Lightning Network user interface).

While all of these achievements are exciting from a technical standpoint, many in the community have been wondering: “But what about marketing?”. This blog post will answer that question in detail and clarify the team’s position and strategy as we progress onward.

Over the last few weeks, the “Particl reboot” has been going full steam ahead. Shortly after raising funds from the decentralized treasury fund, the Particl team has set up a few initiatives in motion and been cranking up development!

In terms of significant milestones since, we find the long-anticipated Particl V3 mainnet release, Particl Core catching up to the latest Bitcoin version (0.22), the upcoming BasicSwap DEX nearing its open beta phase, and the reveal of a work-in-progress wallet: Electrum (with support for a Lightning Network user interface).

While all of these achievements are exciting from a technical standpoint, many in the community have been wondering: “But what about marketing?”. This blog post will answer that question in detail and clarify the team’s position and strategy as we progress onward.

Putting Marketing in Context

First thing first, it’s essential to define what we mean by “marketing” to avoid any confusion. Marketing is an umbrella term that touches on brand awareness, PR, product placement, outreach, relationship building, and any other effort to gain adoption and new users or fans. It’s a wide range of actions converging towards making Particl more known, liked, and used.


Why do Marketing?

In the case of Particl, marketing has two clear objectives.

    Gain new users for Particl products (i.e., Particl Marketplace or BasicSwap)
    Increase the number of coin holders and project advocates.

For marketing to have any real impact on the course of the project, results need to be long-lasting. Any new user, coin holder, or advocate gained from any marketing campaign has to stick around for some time and be active within the ecosystem. When it comes to brand awareness campaigns, their message has to stick around and be clear.

This strategical and best value approach to marketing ensures that the project only spends resources towards effective initiatives rather than adopting a “spray and pray” strategy that can work for more prosperous projects, but at an extreme cost.

Particl Has a New Website!



Better telling Particl’s story, mission, and showcasing its products.



We are proud to announce that the new Particl.io website is live! Built and designed from the ground up by the team, it’s a massive improvement over the previous website. It better tells Particl’s story and mission and puts the spotlight on its products and the many benefits they offer.

There's no better way to discover the new website and understand its direction by visiting it yourself. Follow this link to discover the new front page of the Particl project: https://particl.io/

Why a New Website?

Particl is a mission-driven project with strong convictions. It is supported by incredibly talented developers who’ve built a unique and innovative decentralized platform that finally shifts the balance of power back into the hands of the people, not greedy corporations. The implications of that are huge and it has the potential to change a lot of aspects of our lives.

But somehow, the now-previous website didn’t fully do full justice to the project's mission and intentions. Although it detailed the project’s unique technical points (and they sure are impressive), it was easy for new, curious people to miss the bigger picture that ties everything together. That made it more challenging to turn these interested people into new users and fans of the project and limited the impact of any marketing, PR, or outreach effort.

That's why Particl needed a new website, especially now with the release of Particl V3 which pushes the project into a new phase where outreach will be more prevalent.

The Objectives Behind it

The website has been built with two simple but clear objectives in mind.

- Showcase Particl’s products and their benefits

- Tell Particl’s story and its mission.

Building the website according to these two objectives ensures that the big picture becomes apparent and that people understand the purpose of the project, what it's working to achieve, and what they can get from it.

After all, the official website is where new people land when they want to learn more about a project. It’s what they use to make their first impression and decide whether they want to dig deeper or skip the project out of a lack of interest. And with so many projects to look at nowadays and the sheer number of distractions screaming for attention, you have to transmit your message as clearly and concisely as possible if you want people to stick around and be interested in digging deeper....
