THE ROAD FROM HERE — An ATHEIOS UPDATE — 8/7/19
ATHEIOS update 8/1/19 — The Road from Here
On Sunday 7/28/19, several members of the Atheios core team had an exciting cross continental voice meeting to strategize and define the future of the Atheios project. There was a variety of discussion with several ideas and contributions from all who attended. The Atheios team has a solid plan for the future and is outlined below.
It was decided that the best course of action was to divide and conquer. The talent available from the community needs to be effectively utilized to move forward and encourage growth. How can Atheios accomplish this? By dividing the team into overlapping work groups that have specific goals to achieve. The work group list is as follows:
· BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT
The goal of this group is to address the core code that Atheios is built on. While functional and already updated from the past hard fork, Atheios must remain vigilant and monitor the code for potential improvements. Changes to the code may be required to meet market demand for usage, new improvements and ideas may need to be implemented, etc. Continuing development of the code is necessary to remain competitive and secure in today’s market. This is also the group to discuss ideas for differentiating our code from others to (hopefully) give Atheios unique advantages that will prove beneficial in the future.
· INTEGRATION DEVELOPMENT
The goal of this group is to focus on the integration of our blockchain into existing and new platforms. Having a chain that can easily be integrated into application and games is a top priority of this group and exploring how to do so is the primary purpose.
· GAME DEVELOPMENT
The goal of this group is to implement and explore Atheios usage in gaming and applications. This group will serve as a test bed for usage and execution of Atheios integration. As a product, Atheios must prove itself as being a viable solution to the problems faced by game developers. Having our own proof-of-concept games can serve to be the leading examples of functionality and application. With that, Atheios becomes a truly functional product that invites outside development and demand.
· MARKETING
The goal of this group is to focus on bringing the Atheios name and product to the world. Utilizing all social media outlets, this team will focus on information and explanation with articles and graphics to illustrate the usage of the Atheios blockchain. Further focus will include creating bounties and events to grow the Atheios community which should attract interaction and development.
· EXCHANGES
The goal of this group is to focus and expand on the exchange markets for the Atheios coin. Currently our listing on STEX exchange is one of our most valuable assets and we thank them for their support over the past 2 months. Moving forward, Atheios will need to be available in a broader market to serve the public better. People cannot use Atheios if they do not have an easy way to buy Atheios. Developers will not build on Atheios if it is not easily accessible.
WHITE PAPER AND ROADMAP
The Atheios team has been hard at work behind the scenes to solidify the future for this project. For the first time in Atheios history, a white paper is being written and a road map is being formulated. As exciting as these two items are, they will not be published until the working groups above further define and outline their effective strategies for accomplishing their goals. Once completed, the white paper and roadmap can be published. We do not have an exact timeline for their official completion but they are both underway.
ONGOING WORK
The Atheios team is aware of several public websites improperly listing Atheios information. With the change to a new website and new explorer, some public sites have not updated our social and contact information. We have updated our API and contacted several major reporting websites of the changes. This is a slow process and will take some time.
MINING
Mining has remained stable after the fork and has seen average nethash in excess of 4gh. Average weekly nethash is currently 1.5gh. If you are a miner, now is a great time to fill your Atheios bag as difficulty and nethash are low. Remember to spread the hash! Supporting Pools…

INVESTING
Atheios is slowly climbing out of the all-time lows created after the departure of Berran months ago. If you are thinking of investing into Atheios, now would be a great time to do so. The community and team are hard at work to foster growth and the potential is unlimited. If you believe in the future of this project as strongly as the team does, now would be a great time to get invested!
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
