Welcome all to a new biweekly update. Quite a lot has happened the last few weeks and therefore this might be a big read. We urge you to perceive in your reading to know exactly what’s going on! It’s all getting quite interesting.

OPC
During the last two weeks we have had a long discussion about OPC. As you all know our developers like to build everything from the ground up, to make sure something can be fixed when a problem occurs. We believe building our own blockchain, explorers, products, websites and bots gives us an advantage over a lot of other cryptocurrencies and we know this to be true, since we haven’t had the need for any wallet fix/update since the genesis blocks of both OPC and OPCX.

We came to the conclusion that OPC’s code needs an extended review, since it’s been put together by a developer that isn’t active anymore. We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with when something occurs to fix it immediately. Therefore, after our customized stakebot and store are released, we will plan time to review the code and make updates when needed. OPC will have it’s own role in the ecosystem which will be further explained in the OverPoweredCoin whitepaper. The whitepaper will be released before the end of Q3.

OPC’s new website and domain is coming close to a release, we’ve collected all necessary information and images and our webdeveloper is putting it together as we speak. The form to change the OPC block explorer link on coinmarketcap to opcblocks.com has been sent also.

The Crypto Cup
The crypto cup is an initiative of multipe coins to organize tournaments for cryptocurrency. The main purpose as of now is to participate in charity goals. Fortnite tournaments will be organized and a selected team of each coin can participate for that coin. PC/PS4 has the priority because they can play cross platform. This concept is still in it’s infancy but the website is already beginning to take shape, you can find us between the founding teams at https://thecryptocup.ga/.

OPCX
The total and circulating supply on Coinmarketcap are updated and do now show the correct circulating supply as well as the marketcap. We hope the logo will soon be updated and then all information shown on it is also correct. Keep in mind we’re heading towards 1000 masternodes, so a lot of the circulating supply is locked up for this.

Marketing
Multiple marketing strategies and advertisements have been initiated. Some banners are running on two different websites, we are doing small community airdrops to activate users and get some activity in the channels on Discord. There’s also a big OPCX airdrop in cooperation with our newest exchange; BiteBTC.

We are also very pleased to hear that some community members are promoting OPC and OPCX to other people. People telling other people about good experiences and products is the best way of marketing and we want to encourage everyone to take part in this. Therefore, on Sunday we will release a bounty campaign for writing articles on different platforms such as Steem, reddit and more.

Store/platform
Since we’re developing everything from the ground up, it takes longer than expected to release the store. The payment processing system has proven to be hard to develop. We’re exploring multiple different ways of completing this process and we also have another option for the store to solve the payment gateway issue. Other infrastructure is already there and the payment processor is one of the last things that needs to be completed. As some of you might know, we’ve already done some test sales, but these were manually completed. The idea of the store is always changing and evolving. It will be a dynamic platform on which things will be added to and around the basic concept of the store.

Stakebot
The stakebot is coming along also. This will be a fully automated staking bot on Discord where you can make an address that’s tied to your account. The interface will look something like this:

With a few simple commands you can deposit, withdraw and track your coins. We’re currently working on the last little problem that needs fixing, which is making withdrawals go as quickly as possible. The staking bot is also build from the ground up which means we have full control over it. No third party will have access to the coins. The Stakebot can be used later for multiple coins and it might even be a product in which other coins will show interest.

For now you’ve been updated about the things that we’ve done in the last two weeks. We’re on schedule again with the biweekly update and the next one will appear in two weeks! We hope to bring you a lot of updates then!
