I know that it has been a while since my last update. I'm sorry about that, but my outside ventures have been keeping me tied up for the most part.
Work is still being done on EMD. Unfortunately, my help has kind of disappeared and left it all up to me. That being said, I can handle the coding since I was doing all of the coding before, anyway...
The other members of the dev team were to support and create buzz for EMD, but they really have done nothing. I have reached out to the community a few times to ask for help but there has been, thus far, no response. It seems to me that most of you want a great coin but do not want to involve yourselves in helping to spread the news. We could definitely use some help there...
I have several items planned for EMD. The first being to get a more up to date wallet out. I have this about 90% done. I need to download some new dependencies to the system that I use for coding EMD to create a test wallet and make sure that everything works as intended. Once I am sure that it works correctly, I will release the new wallet and source code.
There will also be a fork in the code to further reduce the mining payout and extend the life of mining EMD for a much longer period. I have included this in the next update, as well. This will make EMD more rare, so that not so much is appearing on the market each day.
When this update is completed there will be another announcement about EMZ. It has evolved somewhat since I originally came up with the idea. When EMZ is fully implemented we will have a true crypto-currency and not just another alt-coin.
The concept behind EMZ will allow for easier integration into payment systems that already accept BTC and will also remove more of the liquid EMD from the market, making it even rarer and more valuable. The wallet that will be necessary to support this new concept (when completed) will be quite complicated and require a lot of custom coding. This is not something that we can copy and paste from some other coin, although I am sure it will be copied by others once proven successful.
I hope this answers some of your questions. Feel free to drop me a PM about any questions or concerns that you may have. If you have any ideas about promotion, or if you want to help with the coding; let me know. As my time is limited, I can use all the help I can find.

PS: I like the idea of adding Cryptopia as another exchange. It is one that I have always thought would fit in well with what is to come for EMD. Get out there and vote!
