Few Brief Updates

hey everyone Charles hoskinson here live from warm sunny Colorado always warm Always Sunny sometimes Colorado it is November 20th 2020 it's been a long year a lot of stuff going on Thanksgiving is next week we're working as close up to the holidays as we can and we got a lot of things coming at the end of November early December we'll fix a day I wanted it to be November 30th but I think maybe a day or after we're going to have the product update and it looks we're going to do two product updates for cardano so one of them is going to be the normal product update and then about a week or so later on the anniversary of aah love lace her birthday we're going to do an endof year update where we kind of roll out everything that we accomplished this year from January to December and have a little bit of a conversation about where we're going what we're doing keep hiring like crazy brought some new people on board get some new product people more Engineers more relationships new vendors coming on and we still have some good announcements that we've been saving for the for the end of the year so I think you guys are really going to enjoy that a few strategic Investments as well We've tightened our collaboration with Mutual knowledge systems in the glow framework and we'll certainly talk a lot more about that and we've also been for the last month and a half working very closely with runtime verification we're in full development mode for K and yella and a huge amount has been underway and there's a lot to discuss there and they're going to be coming on at the product update at the end of November early December and talk a bit about where K is going where yell is going and what we intend on doing with that technological platform a lot of dap stuff a lot of commercial projects some prism related things hopefully we'll have some Ethiopia related news at the end of the month we were actually planning on announcing something a little earlier but the Civil War there is causing some issues there's some problems in the Northern parts of the country and we're just trying really hard to make sure that everything stays on schedule but we think that that should not disrupt things too much our operations are still going strong it's just commercial negotiations tend to slow down when government priorities switch but there's something very big Brewing there that I'm very hopeful we can announce soon Georgia is not disrupted at all that's looking good Mongolia is looking good a lot of cool stuff running through the pipe and the commercial division still keeps chipping away at stuff so hopefully we're going to be able to finish this year very strong it's been an incredibly tough year for everybody the whole world shut down yet somehow we showed up every day we keep releasing like crazy every two weeks we tend to cut a release for something and towards the end of the month we should have full Hardware support this is a treaser I've been playing around with it on the Deus wallet it's pretty amazing to see what those guys have accomplished there and we should have full Hardware wallet support soon there's going to be a treaser firmware update coming I believe early December and The Ledger update should happen sometime either December January with a bunch of new features and functionality and for hybrid wallets and partial wallets partial delegation that's going to be coming in q1 of next year but firmware for some of the delegation staking stuff is coming very soon on treaser and Ledger and we've been playing around with that on both the command line as well as the Deus interface so look for these things and a lot of little things like multisig and other components are coming we have hard Fork event coming hfc event is coming I believe first week of first week of December and we've been coordinating with our exchange partner on on that and the hfc events dealing with token locking and some of the Goen infrastructures the first of the three Goen related hfc events the second one is anticipated sometime during February and then we'll announce the dates for the third one which will bring full plutus support the second one brings full multi asset support token locking is related to vote registration so right now for fun to with catalyst we do token locking through a different means but it'll be formalized and supported on the cardano main net as of December and basically what it means is you lock your tokens for a period of time that registers them and then you can use those registration credentials to basically vote for future funds so fund three will be the first fund to have token locking involved for voter registration we should also for fund three have the voting Center fully constructed in Deus at the moment the voting Center is currently a cell phone app and we're going to have both the cell phone app and we're going to have Deus and hopefully Roy support for fun three and we'll be making some announcements about fun three and date and time and these things scope scale and challenge problems and so forth likely at the product update show at towards the end of the month so finishing strong one more hfc event at the at the end of the year here probably one or two more detalus updates lot of little things like firmware updates coming a lot of Note updates and wallet backend updates that are happening exchanges have been working with us much more closely on this one and there shouldn't be any disruption of services when that happens so when we go through the hfc event no wallets should go down or if they do go down it'll be a day instead of weeks and weeks and weeks for certain wallets we also actually went through a whole retrospective with certain exchanges like bitrix to kind of identify how we can work better together to make sure that there were no service disruptions and so for so far those relationships been very very good lots of Goen related news but I'm going to reserve all that news for the end of the month and I think you guys are going to be pleasantly surprised about some stuff I know I am and I'm very happy to be working with all our partners we actually are developing many different program platforms at the same time so you've already heard a lot about Marlo you'll be hearing more and more about plutus especially in quarter 1 of next year and towards the end of the month you're going to hear a lot more about glow and you're going to hear a lot more about K and yella and all the things that you can do with those platforms so if you're a developer you're going to have many options and one of the things we're going to do is start aligning the Catalyst funds with Goen adoption now that programming languages are becoming available Dev infrastructure is become available funding is going to start flowing very rapidly from Catalyst to start financing the development of applications on cardo so fund three and Beyond will be very Goen focused and continue maintaining that month after month fund after fund as people come up with cool and interesting ideas so just wanted to give you guys a brief update next week is Thanksgiving and so there'll be a little bit of operational disruption there and Christmas unfortunately creates an enormous operation ational disruption so the the last two weeks of December will be much much lighter weeks we'll be at about a quarter staff for most of our time there and next week all of our American Personnel obviously are disrupted but we've planned for this in all of our project plans and our product rollout plans and so these should not disrupt the hard for combinator event and these should not disrupt the firmware updates and these should not disrupt any of the rolling out go plans so I just wanted to make a quick video to let you guys know some stuff is coming and that we'll tweet out the dates for the product update show and the dates for the anniversary show which will contain the yearly recap of all the cool Incredible things that we've accomplished and I'm really looking forward to next year quarter 1 is going to be a crazy crazy quarter enormous amount of stuff is going to get done a lot of new things are getting started and a lot of old things are concluding and really can forward all the pieces pulling together so Go's working its way through first of the three Goen hard Forks coming and we'll get all that done side chains are going to come too we'll have a lot more to say about that soon and we'll also even have a Hydra update for you guys on at the end of November some really cool science stuff and of course these little devices are coming along quite well too and I'm really looking forward to hybrid wallets I think you guys are going to like that a lot and and there's some prism news too a lot of identity management stuff and ID center stuff that's coming along so quick update very brief and I wanted to make one before Thanksgiving because I'm GNA take Thanksgiving off heading to North Carolina and so if I don't see you guys next week I'll see you the week after yall take care now cheers
