RipaEx project Newsletter: airdrops, targets reached and targets in scope
Started on Thursday 22nd of March 2018 the Ripa Blockchain has filled all the 101 delegates slots available yesterday and no more genesis delegates are in place: thanking you for all the effort in setting up your delegate, with this message, I will notify you that the ₱1,000 airdrop will be in place until we have reached 400–500 delegates/rely nodes on the network to offer to its users a reliable network of trasfer of value to work with.
Thank You for all your hard work and wish you all the success in the RipaEx project and in all your entrepreneurship ventures.
1. New Explorer
Yesterday new explorer server have also been deployed to cope with the growing load of the growing network how this is: the delegate-monitor page is still loading slow as 101 calls are made to the API node to retrieve the delegates information and the ripa-node spike 100% in CPU usage to interact with the underlying PostgreSQL DB.
If you want to give technical support with this problem feel free to ask.
New explorer is reachable like the old one at the endpoint explorer.ripaex.io.
2. Airdrops
As said ₱1,000 airdrop will be available until the network reach 400–500 delegates/rely nodes to give the users a stable network to work on.

- Separation between user registry, trading UI, trading engine, deposit/whitdraw engine
Where to put the dev environment:
- Amazon
