The Ethereum development initiative is making good progress since its launch. The core software platform is advancing as developers from all across the globe begin to create experimental decentralized apps on it. We’re still not in alpha yet.
The fifth iteration of the proof-of-concept will be available soon. Many members of the community are downloading and compiling the source code under development frequently to assist in their activities.
Other primary tasks include ensuring legal compliance in various jurisdictions regarding the pre-sale and hot/cold wallet system testing and development, as well as website development and testing. These are nearly finished. The paperwork related to the sale is also nearing completion but there are still a few things left on the critical path, making it hard to determine a sale date.
All these activities are integrated into a rapidly expanding base of support activities. This project has become extremely popular around the world and the company has seen a significant increase in sales. Our Twitter account has more than 6,000 followers. The Ethereum movement has numerous global meetups, focusing on either a single subject or a substantial portion of the topic. Currently, there are 58 groups located in 49 cities across 19 countries. 13,300 people have subscribed to our newsletter. Reddit/r/etherum and forum.ethereum.org are also active discussion boards.
This project is very nimble and has witnessed many changes of leadership since its beginning. This fluidity is expected to keep going as we all work together to be agile and efficient while doing the best for the project.
Stephan Tual and Taylor Gerring have been involved in the initiative from the beginning and have been an important part of it ever since. Although they have already contributed significantly, it has now been made official.
In the most recent phase, business activities were mainly focused on the legality and fairness of the sale. Charles Hoskinson was the ideal choice to lead this effort. But this effort is close to completion and Charles will soon be moving on to other projects in the crypto space.
