Team Zero Weekly Newsletter
Issue #4
Welcome to issue №4 of the Zero Weekly Newsletter!
Things are travelling per plan here at Zero, and the team have been very busy with each of their respective disciplines of delivering a successful project and product to you all.
This week’s update is not as extensive as previous updates, and we also apologise for the delay in getting this week’s version out to you all.
There have been some great inroads made with the Windows wallet with the beta testing regime undertaken, and then recently completed. Thanks to all who took part in this testing — we sincerely thank you for your input and barrage of testing.
The official release will not be far away at all…
We have determined the listing costs with two other exchanges, which now brings the total shortlist to four exchanges that are interested in listing us now for a fee also.
Once the whitepaper (Version 1.0) is released, the marketing will kick in, along with the donation campaigns to get on said exchanges. So far we have seen some contributions to the wallets that are found further down the update, so thank you very much in advance. We won’t be spending any funds at all until we announce it to you, and you can feel free to audit the wallets at any time.
Thank you all for your continued support!
(Note for new comers — please bear in mind that at this point in time Zero relies solely on donations from the community as there was no pre-mine or ICO with this coin originally. We are working to implement a dev / founders fee, so please read further and watch this space. Every person involved with Zero — inclusive of the dev team — are volunteering their time and efforts to the project)
For anyone interested in investing — please do your own research prior to committing to any project, and we ask you to please not blindly commit to a project because someone else told you to.
Whitepaper & Roadmap
To reiterate from last week:
The whitepaper (Version 1.0) is very close to being finalised, and will provide the background of the planned features of Zero to complement the roadmap.
The initial whitepaper will not be a full technical bible per planned deliverable so to speak, but provide the overall higher level information on where Zero has been, where it is at the moment, and where it is heading in the future.
We will look to release individual technical papers to cover the major implementations as per the roadmap in due course.
The roadmap will be based on the whitepaper (version 1.0), and will also be released very soon.
Wallets
Cryptoforge has now completed his second full time job of getting the Windows wallet complete, and now passing alpha and beta testing.
The official release is not far away at all, but as you can understand, a thorough testing regime was required as we are releasing a product that is to harbour your investment.
Per last week for the remaining items:
In regards to the mobile wallet, some further works need to be completed in the background in terms of a secure API and Zero node structure. We will then secure additional secure servers to host the wallet.
We don’t have an ETA on this one while the workings are determined (ie bounty or internally resourced), but please bear with us. We don’t want to release a product that could be flawed in some way, or not secure.
In terms of tutorials for our new suite of wallets, Ingar and Rick will have some handy helping points available shortly for a clear and concise approach to running the wallets. This is great to have as the community organically increases, and we can all no doubt pick up some great information from this initiative.
We also have an Electrum wallet on the horizon too once the Windows wallet has been released.
General & Developer Funding
This item is very hot topic, and will keep you updated further as more transpires.
Marketing
Zero’s Twitter account is now over 2016 followers at time of publication — that’s over 400 more followers in one week!
We are forever grateful to see that there is also a lot of cash-tagging for ZER, and also many mentions from reputable Twitter personalities helping with the cause.
The marketing effort will again ramp up after the WP and community funding / donations are introduced.
Please continue to market us wherever you can, and please keep those brilliant gifs coming along!
Listings on Exchanges
We have now come closer to a few exchanges that are willing to list us, but for fees. These currently range from 1 BTC to 7 BTC, but it is good to know that we are wanted.
The “big boy” exchanges are still a fair way away at the moment based on trading volume, and expect that our volumes will increase as we become more known and understood as a coin.
All in good time as we progress in a solid, steady way.
Website
The website will have a whitepaper section shortly, along with a wallet and community page too.
Donations
Thank you again to anyone who has been kind enough to have donated to our cause. We really do appreciate what the community has offered us as part of the community takeover.
The wallets below now have the total amount of ZER listed in each respective one to keep you updated.
We will have published the below addresses for donations very soon on the website, official announcements, Twitter etc, but please see the below in the meantime:
