Welcome to the first of the new TRBO updates!
As the community grows across channels - Twitter, Telegram and Discord we've realised that not everyone gets to see and hear about the latest updates regarding TRBO. So this regular* update will keep everyone abreast of what's going on.
*frequency tbc but roughly weekly is the plan
Let's start with a recap of 2018 and what was achieved:
All of this during a terrible bear market for crypto which has seen many projects and coins abandoned, some with notice many without. The TRBO team however is as committed as ever to continued development of the community, the coin and its use case(s).
The roadmap and wallet update are interlinked. We released the roadmap in October on the assumption that a new wallet would be ready shortly after. The aim was and still is to maintain the existing TRBO chain, to remain true to the original development that has stood the test of time over 3+ years (a lifetime in crypto). But TRBO has had uncertain times over that period and some of that affected the quality of the blockchain - strange blocks and more. So it's taken time to go back through 3 years and almost 600,000 blocks and update to the latest code. It's finally done - the code is now working smoothly, the wallet sync takes as little as 20mins (vs half a day currently). But we're still working on a wallet compile, debugging and testing ready for release.
The focus on the wallet took our eye off the ball on the whitepaper and website, which outline TRBO's use case. The use case has not changed but it's not an easy one to explain so we want to get those right too. It's not as simple as saying "charity" or "currency" or even just "crypto" as is the case for many coins, so bear with us. It's coming and we believe will help to differentiate TRBO from a majority of other coins out there.
Near term priorities for us over coming weeks/months are:
We're also working out the details of an airdrop/TRBO distribution event - watch this space for more details.
As always, we are a transparent team and open to discussion and feedback. So fire your questions, concerns or ideas at us across any of the communication channels.
Here's looking to a great 2019 for TRBO.
