Data Updates
As of Wednesday, October 9, 2019, 9:45 am PST — [Time of writing.]
Masternodes Online → 572
Current Block Height → 542571
Next Superblock → 561600
Total Budget → 108,000 Ø (ODIN Coin)
Allocated → 108,000 Ø (100%)
100% of October’s Superblock fund has been allocated. This does not mean you cannot put forth a proposal. Quite the contrary in fact, as the budget is allocated; this creates competition amongst projects vying for the ODIN in exchange for their development.
If your idea is found to be more appealing than current developmental proposals and in turn receives more votes than existing proposals you can supersede theirs, resulting in your project being funded in place of theirs.
Overall, this is great for the ODIN ecosphere as more and more developmental efforts are being put forth, causing a naturally competitive environment that you, the participant in the space, will benefit from.

Previewing Vaughn Bullock aka Pixxl’s Voice of Blockchain Experience
Here is a snippet from Vaugn’s upcoming blogpost, where he highlights his experience at the Voice of Blockchain’s Chigaco event the weekend before last. Stay tuned tomorrow for the post in full, including a breakdown f the privacy panel and conversations with persons from the business, technical, and educational spaces, respectively.
Technical Space
While there weren’t a lot of developers attending the conference, a few attendees stood out to me as their skillset aligned with where I foresee ODIN growing and requiring future supports.
Tor — Head of Growth/Marketing for Enigma
I met Tor initially as I knew a high-level scope of Engima and how their team is working to create a secure/private layer atop Ethereum. From what I gather, Enigma and ODIN share very similar beliefs on the role privacy has in everyone’s life and how this is a topic that is not dying down but instead increasing over the years.

Every week, thanks to ODIN’s Superblock funding, ODIN Society member, Christopher Reeder aka Nondescript writes articles informing both current and prospective community members about ODIN tech and general ongoings. Here is an article published this week:
Here is an excerpt from that article:
In recent days there has been what some are calling a ‘coordinated push’ by government agencies demanding back doors into encrypted conversations. The governing bodies in question, namely that of the United States and the United Kingdom (once safe havens for personal privacy and the ability to speak freely), are effectively mandating that back doors into end-to-end encryption communication apps such as WhatsApp are shared allowing for the ability to spy on users conversations. The FBI and The Justice Department cited a desire to ‘save victims, protect families, and stop child predators’ chiefly among the recent increase in pressure.
