What's on tap this week for XQN:
It's a holiday week here in the states for Thanksgiving, but I don't have any big plans so it won't be a big time impact for me.
Next up for XQN is the QDEX implementation. This consists of:
- Design and build an aggregator daemon that collects news feeds, videos, and does the regular calculation of indexes
- Design and implement a wire format, or serialized classes for accepting the data feed and circulating it on the XQN P2P network
- Build the in-wallet user-interface that consumes and displays the data feed
- Build the QDEX web portal that displays the indexes and news feeds (separate from the quotientcoin.com website)
The QDEX site is intended to be a "Destination Site", e.g. something that can be marketed to drive traffic and interest in XQN. The in-wallet interface idea is to build something like a Bloomberg terminal in XQN. What I'm working towards with the QDEX site is something like a blend between
http://us.spindices.com/ and
http://www.marketwatch.com. I have other plans for things that can be built on top of this, but this is the goal for the initial release.
In addition to the above I will be working to get infrastructure services up and going - IRC, Slack, wiki, agile planning tool, Freshdesk help desk, etc. And of course ongoing social media marketing, Twitter, etc. just keeping the awareness going.
I'm working on this full time at the moment, so the above is achievable. I do take on consulting projects from time to time, and cash flow is non-existent at the moment, so if you know of anyone needing some paid help, send them my way
Otherwise the
Sapience crowdfund will basically supply the funding so I can work full time on everything XAI+XQN for at least 6 months and not sweat picking up other stuff for cash flow.
