Getline September — October Summary
Hello fans and followers! Once in awhile, we like to give a summary of the month. This one is for the time period between September 15th and October 31st. You can see our last monthly summary here. This last month and a half has been a productive time for the Getline Network, here’s what we’ve been up to:
Article Mentions:
First of all, we were honored on September 15th, 2017, by being mentioned in an article by George Popescu, CEO of Lampix & Editor-in-Chief of Lending Times, in an article titled “Why ICOs Are Necessary for Capital Fundraising“ where he said:
“Getline — Based out of Warsaw, Poland, Getline was established in 2015. It uses a third party platform Esteemify for account verification. Borrowers and investors need to add social accounts as well personal verification details such as bank account, proof of income, etc. Total amount funded so far is 178.86 BTC and the platform usually deals in credit line loans.”
Case Study Shortened:
First of all, along with the articles we’ve been producing for you all, we shortened and posted a very important case study, which confirmed our use of Smart Contracts for loans, among other technical details. We posted that on October 12th, 2017.
Community Forum Move:
This last October, we moved our community forum and dev chat for Getline from Slack over to Rocket Chat. We believe this new platform will work better for us in the light of long term growth, and will help to stop spam messages as the community grows. Feel free to join the conversation!
Dev Posts On Reddit:
This month, we were also pleased to have our first three Dev posts on our Reddit Forum account. They were as follows:
We have already built loans that live on the Ethereum blockchain. Now, let’s say you need to access the loan’s information somehow. If we wish to have a listing of all public loans, scraping the blockchain is not an ideal solution — it would be slow and expensive. The first remediation step we’re currently working on is a metadata scheme, that would contain all the information needed to access and make a proper investment decision about the loan. It can be uploaded to our metadata backend or used in any other alternative GUI directly. This schema would be both machine readable for systems and human-readable for manual verification.
We’re debating using JSON versus Protobuf — what do you think?
We’ve decided to split the technical architecture into three parts
- Smart Contracts, which are the whole basis of the network and make the magic work
- Meta Backend, since going through blockchain is slow — we’re creating a caching backend. It maintains addresses of all the important deployed — Smart Contracts and allows each user for easier deployment of their own loans.
- Front-end, which will be further split into a Dapp for easy Loan access and into Getline.ts, a library that allows easy communication with the whole Getline Network for next developers in the ecosystem.
We’ve decided to put all three into a single git repository for easier maintenance and so future developers will have easy time finding the most important repo on Github. It can be found here: https://github.com/Getline-Network/getline
*Dev Post # 3:
“We’ve introduced Continuous Integration into Getline with state of the art CircleCI pipeline that tests Smart Contracts as well as the Dapp’s front-end. Additionally it also calculates coverage and lints the whole project. Did I forgot to tell you that it’s all cached for the nice speed-up boost?

I think it’s awesome!”
New Infographic:
On October 27th, 2017, we released a new infographic titled: “Fintech & The Future”, in which we discuss Fintech, it’s role in helping to fulfill certain technology predictions, P2P Lending platforms, what the experts are saying on Fintech and blockchain technology, and much more. The infographic has already gained the interest of other sites that would like to re-post it, whom we are just waiting confirmation from.
Conferences:
During this time period, we were honored to attend two blockchain and cryptocurrency related events, in which we were able to share about our company in front of a larger audience. The first event was called: The Future Of Cryptocurrency — Full Day Online Conference, where Kacper Wikiel presented “What ICO is worth investing in: Investment ideas for the coming months.” The second event was held in Wroclaw, Poland, and it was called: PLUGinWROCLAW: Blockchain — Beyond Cryptocurrencies. Here, we gave a presentation on Ethereum and technologies that are based on it. We also had the opportunity to share the Getline Network with those who attended.
Interview/Guest Appearance:
Finally, Kacper was featured on a webinar for Parkiet TV very recently, talking about our upcoming ICO and P2P lending platform.
And that’s it from the 15th of September until the end of October 31st, 2017. Looking forward to this new month! Have a great rest of the week everyone!
The Getline team.
