This was an eventful week for the RightMesh project! First, we celebrated tech development successes that kept us right on target with our project roadmap, and we excitedly announced our collaboration with SingularityNET to explore extending AI and ML benefits to the unconnected through RightMesh networks. Then, with disappointment, we announced a last minute delay in the Crowd Contribution period. And now, we are pleased to say we are making progress in resolving the issue which led to the delay.

Read on to stay up-to-date with all our latest news, milestones and achievements.

And, Happy Easter from our family to yours.

TL;DR

Tech Update

  • Demonstrated 15 devices connected to a single superpeer: In this demonstration, each phone represents a local mesh which could then have additional phones connected to it.
  • Demonstrated live µRaiden payment channel updates on the RightMesh wallet between two distinct mobile Mesh Networks: A month and a half ago, we released a demo video showing the successful exchange of ERC-20 tokens for data over the mesh network via µRaiden payment channels. When a mobile node joins a mesh network, the payment channels are automatically opened and closed via the superpeer. At that time, the only way to see tokens flowing was by logging the superpeer output and via the final transfers on the channel closing. Yesterday, as a follow on to this, we released a second demo which demonstrates live µRaiden payment channel updates at the UI layer on mobile nodes that are on two distinct mobile mesh networks. This demo is similar to the first except now you can see the payment channel updates on the phones directly instead of having to check etherscan.

  • Refining scrum processes: The engineering team has been working towards improving internal processes for scrum planning.

UX Update

  • Emergency Response Research: The UX team researched emergency response communication needs by talking to experts in the space, in support of our development of Flare. They are still looking to interview more people who work in disaster response services to help them build out Flare. If this is you or someone you know, please contact partnerships@rightmesh.io.

TGE Progress

We are working around-the-clock to resolve the jurisdictional issue, and we hope to announce a rescheduled date in the near future.

Scam Alerts

Scammers are rife in world of Token Generating Events, and the postponement of our Crowd Contribution period and TGE may draw their attention. RightMesh AG wants you to be safe, so please be vigilant and be aware. The board of directors of RightMesh AG anticipates the possibility of attempts to convince RightMesh AG’s community there are other ways of participating in the Crowd Contribution period or even to convince you that “Canadians and Americans can now participate”.

To reiterate and confirm:

  • All restrictions of Canadian and American residents contributing to the TGE remain in full force and in effect.
  • There remains one single procedure for participating in the TGE and that is through Bitcoin Suisse’s client portal.
  • RightMesh AG will NEVER ask for contributions directly or through any channel outside of Bitcoin Suisse.

Telegram

There have been a number of imposters accounts within the RightMesh channel that are pretending to be RightMesh admin. These fake admin are direct messaging our community members requesting funds, email addresses and personal information to ‘assist’ with the Bitcoin Suisse KYC and AML process.

Please be aware that these are scams!

RightMesh will NEVER solicit funds or ask for personal documentation via Telegram, email, Twitter, our website, direct message or any form of social media. All contributions will be managed through the Bitcoin Suisse platform. Anyone who contacts you with a special offer, asks for you to send them crypto directly or asks for personal documentation is trying to scam you.

Community & Events
