October represented the beginning of a new story in our IoP community, the news has followed one another and there is only a promising future for the following months and years.

Launch of Libertaria.

October welcomed us with the launch of our sister community Libertaria, who presented the projects that will be working to create a strong society in a decentralized world; and one of the first projects that was announced was that IoP will be the first implementation of hydra, which will strongly contribute to the fulfillment of the objectives of our community. Each product that Libertaria presents has and will have a strong impact on IoP, in such a way that the presentation of the pillars of decentralization, the status of decentralization and the release of the Mercury whitepaper are great news for us.

Rebranding

October 2 was the date of the launch of the new website iop.global where the new image of our community is presented.

Release of the 4th video of People Power series

The project of the decentralized society led by one of our best community leaders Sara Klostermaier presented the 4th. video of the People Power series on October 5 on her YouTube channel, “Community first”, where she explains why people are the heart of the Internet of People and not the currency itself. Subscribe to her channel and you will be aware of your new deliveries.

New thread in Bitcointalk

To begin writing our own story as an IoP Community on October 6, the new thread was opened at bitcointalk.org, where we hope to create a long story that will document our progress, the problems and solutions that we will find on the road to building a better society.

Presentation of the IoP team

In our recent appearance under the reflectors of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, many of our new followers and $IOP buyers asked insistently about who we were the team after the Internet of people. On October 13, the team working on this project was presented under the leadership of our community leader Dieter Klomfass, a young and successful entrepreneur in the world of technology; the team of developers, community administrators and our administration consultant. Soon we will see on the site one of the pillars of our Community Camelia Ganea.

Transparency reports

Our community is an open community and has been delivering information to all those who have an interest in Internet of People, the transparency reports, which share basic information about our way of operating. The first transparency report was delivered on September 30, and October 9 was delivered on the second, where the relationship between our community and IoP Ventures, the existing agreements, responsibilities and way of financing its operation is made known. IoP Ventures is the solid technical arm of the Internet of People, the quality of its members and its professionalism is positioning us as the community with one of the best development teams in crypto, its products speak highly of their work.

New exchanges

On October 24, IoP was listed in one of Korea’s largest exchanges, Upbit; what marks the start of this placement strategy in new exchanges. During the month of October, information was gathered from those where IoP can be listed, and to date we are working to be present in several more.

Roadmap

After several days of meeting in Budapest of community leaders and team of developers (now it was not in the famous dark basement) the basic elements were defined to present light roadmap on the 1st day. of November. The following graph shows the most important elements

This roadmap will be more detailed once the whitepaper is finished, which is proving more complex than initially thought, due to the large number of actions that it has been decided to incorporate into it.

Develop a free version of Algorand

This term for me turned out to be new when I saw it in the roadmap, for what little I have researched is that Algorand is one of the most complex problems to solve on the subject of consensus, it is almost comparable to finding the philosopher’s stone by the alchemists. The most discussed scientific document in the academy and probably the most complex one; The IoP development team will develop a work to scientifically demonstrate if it is possible to develop it, and if so, in 3 months a prototype will be developed. More working hours are expected in the dark basement of Budapest.

New Whitepaper

The Community’s new whitepaper is under development; After the meeting with the team of developers, new elements were identified that will help build a more powerful Internet of people. The community has decided to use the necessary time to have a robust and accurate guide on its components and interaction with elements of Libertaria.

Hackathon for IOTA

Another surprising news for the community itself was the proposal made by the development team of our community to carry out a hackathon to develop a prototype of the IOTA proposal written in its whitepaper in 72 hours. The proposal was accepted and soon there will be more news on this topic.

Presentation of the new wallet

On November 4, the new wallet version 6.0.1 was released for our users. with an improvement in the code based on the latest version of bitcoin core 0.15.01. light and ready for Segwit. Those who are using it are surprised at its speed to synchronize.

Restructuring Chapters

The incorporation of Manuel Fischer to the community is accompanied by a very important mission related to the way of creating an efficient structure of work distributed in a global way, that articulates all the activities developed by the chapters. There are already many advances that will soon become visible, especially in the field of marketing. It is an activity that has not yet concluded and that is laying the foundations to be able to also grow in an organized way once the opportunity to create new chapters is opened; It is not too much to say that we have a large waiting list for this.

Attending events in different parts of the world

The IoP community through its chapters has been attending different local and international industry events in different parts of the world, Tel Aviv, Budapest, Aachen, Cancun, Croatia and soon we will attend the SmarcityExpo World Congress in Barcelona and we will be speakers at the Latin American Bitcoin and Blockchain Conference in Bogota Colombia.

Increase followers on twitter and Telegram

The heart of our community is the people, and we are glad to see how the official Telegram group in 6 weeks is already looking for the goal of the 1000 followers and the twitter account the 5000. It is not only the number of followers, but the warmth of interaction in our channels, we are proud to see how new visitors to our telegram channel tell us that here you feel a true spirit of community and like to be served by the main team of the community. For those who want more in-depth technical and operational information, they are invited to Discord, where they can learn and touch on topics in greater detail about the Internet of People.

It has been 7 amazing weeks since we appeared in the bittrex home banner, it is important to recount what has happened and what is to come, there are really many past actions, many are being developed. The IoP family has grown and is becoming more united around the goal of creating a better world. I just have to say that we must be aware of the launch of the Libertaria ICO as there will be great news for those who have IoP tokens in their core wallets.
