Starting now, I am posting a weekly summary of progress so that the community can have a better idea of what is happening, and be prepared to discuss our progress at the Think Tank.
Week of Feb 26-Mar 1
Monday Dev Meeting:
Kenny has made PR to show all fees related to trade portal transactions, he will also review Quick's PR:

Qortal Think Tank:
The structure of the Monday Dev Meeting and Friday Marketing Meetings is going to change to make them more efficient:
1. The intended duration for the meetings is 30 minutes instead of the hour or more it used to be
2. There is a new structure: Announcements, then Q&A, Then Conclusion/Discussion to keep the meeting more focused
Crowetic announced a greater focus on the voting system now that the Self Sponsors have been eliminated.
Qortal Seth was paid 800 QORT for the bounty that Adds a Subscriber List to Q-Tube
A new public group called "mesh network and hardware group" has emerged on Q-Chat. This is the place to go for news related to Reticulum updates, testing, hardware, etc.
Friday Marketing Meeting:
Qortal Seth suggested moving marketing focus away from Cold emails and instead on the following:
1. Publishing content exclusively on Q-Tube/Q-Share and letting people on Web2 platforms know it is there while providing links that explain why our content is exclusively on Qortal
2. Make our current/future videos on Web2 platforms have titles that regular people will search for such as: "how to be private online", "censorship resistance", "Best Free Speech platform", etc.
Marketing Ideas/Progress
1. Rory B Bellows has an account on Brighteon named "Qortal Network" and is working on showing them the value of Qortal.
2. Rory suggests giving password in marketing materials that people type in general chat so we know where they came from. He wants us to have our marketing success determined by metrics be only within Qortal, and therefore completely disconnected from Web2 services.
Justin has announced the Q-Fund for the next month of the Qortians' Exclusive Marketing Club here:
