Did you know that according to a Bitcoinist article, 92% of blockchain projects have already failed; their average lifespan just over 1 year?
What VIVA and TradeQwik went through was terrible and inconvenient. What made it worse was that the majority of our supporters came from a small and tight-knit group of people on Steemit from which some of those relationships may never recover.
We were building a new paradigm; so many facets were possible within it. In our excitement, we took on too much at one time and failed in every way possible. It was a dreadful blow to everyone involved.
“Failure” allowed us to see all the mistakes that were possible and we did that spectacularly! Not to make light of anything, it's been a battle not to be in the 92 percentile. While going through the audit process, we've been recuperating, operating, developing and testing our vision on barely a shoestring budget. We've also learned from every single one of those mistakes.
Complete audit results are still pending. All 1227 customer accounts have been addressed, yet a few still require attention. Employee and partner accounts are currently being worked on, and are also winding to a close. There are still many people that have not responded to our final email, settlement is imminent, so please check your email.
Our legal counsel is addressing the special circumstances surrounding VIVA and TradeQwik, which formed around the time of the unfortunate arrest of Steve Morrey. While we cannot discuss pending litigation, we can address some of the critical changes in our infrastructure: the name change from VIVA to AVIV, as well as items which are ready to be deployed.
Today's letter is to inform you that the VIVA/AVIV project is far from dead! In the coming letters, we will be addressing the reasons behind our new name, our move to the Ethereum Network, the ERC-20 bridge tokens, AML/KYC, team leaders, new website, and a road map leading up to and beyond the Serenity fork.
As we re-emerge with true deliverables, our hope is to re-build confidence and support, and surpass expectations.
Thank you,

Email Issue
In an attempt to email our list of vivos and Crown Holders, our email campaign was not approved because they felt this content was against their updated Acceptable Use Policy, regardless of the fact that it was a pre-existing mail list. Several crypto-based projects are receiving the same problem with reaching their whitelist via email through common distribution services. We are actively searching for alternatives to this problem. Our temporary solution is to post our public messages on Steemit, Medium and LinkedIn
