December 2021 Update

COSv2.0

We are making great progress with the release of the merged COS 2.0/2.1 with bugs repaired and new versions constantly being updated internally. All fixes during testing have been successful thus far and we are very close. We have decided to hold the release until bugs are fixed internally. Introducing bugs into a blockchain project is unprofessional and would not build confidence.

Merging of the COS versions and the time required has been well worth it. Bringing forward the ability to mine with VPS allowing the network to scale at a much faster rate.

*For those wanting to run nodes via VPS the spec requirements will be as follows -

-Requirements for optimum performance and uptime-

CPU: 4+ core CPU

Memory: 8GB+

Disk: 500GB+

Bandwidth: 10m+ / 100Mbps+

IP: Public IP

-Minimum requirements- (Performance and uptime may not be optimal)

CPU: 2 core CPU

Memory: 4GB

Disk: 100GB

Bandwidth: 1m / 10Mbps

IP: Public IP

Test Network Reset

We have successfully reset the testnet and have been internally testing mining via VPS and various linux operating systems.

Internal hub testing has also commenced. Mining testing plus the possibility of automatic updates to hubs is also being implemented as part of hub testing.

While we are a little behind on releases due to enhanced upgrades/functionality excellent progress is being made. We are very close!

Contract Upgrade

Planning and implementation has begun on the contract upgrade with some new developments we are excited to announce in due course to the community that will give us access via other chains [i.e BSC]

We know that ETH/GAS fees etc. make it hard for small or new investors and token appreciation. These factors are/will all be addressed, importantly in the right sequence.

We wish the community a happy and safe festive season!
