Apology for Q2 Delays

We sincerely apologize for not meeting our Q2 deadlines. The development of the translation layer, mobile, and desktop wallets faced unexpected delays due to issues caused by explorer attacks and subsequent fixes. Our team was also sidetracked by building a requested addresses list to the explorer and establishing an official pool to cover server costs and support development time. We appreciate your patience and are committed to delivering the promised features with the highest standards of quality and security.

Conclusion

Q3 2024 will be a crucial period for the Hoosat Network as we refine our proof of work algorithm and complete the delayed wallet and translation layer projects. Your continued support and feedback are invaluable as we work towards enhancing the network's capabilities and user experience. Thank you for being a part of the Hoosat Network community.

The second quarter of 2024 is about getting testnet up for checking algorithm options and for other development.

The second quarter of 2024 also means that development of Hoosat Network related projects start.

This quarter will include development of Wallet address translation layer to make simpler to send HTN between people. As such we will also start graphical wallet development for web, mobile and desktop. We will also start research on how to implement smart contracts to Hoosat Network.

• Generate testnet genesis block. ✅

• Create a github for translation layer backend. ✅
• Decide the database for translation layer. ✅
• Create a guide for testnet feedback. ☑️
• Write the code for translation layer. ☑️
• Integrate translation layer to web wallet. ☑️
• Create a github for mobile wallet. ☑️
• Create a github for desktop wallet. ✅
• Start development of mobile wallet. ☑️
• Start development of desktop wallet. ✅
• Launch mobile wallet on testnet. ☑️
• Launch desktop wallet on testnet. ☑️
• Launch translation layer, mobile and desktop wallet on mainnet ☑️
• Work on Q3 roadmap for 2024. ✅

The start of development of Translation layer, Mobile and Desktop wallets has been delayed and their mainnet launches may be delayed, because of problems caused by explorer attacks and fixing them and getting sidetracked to build requested addresses list to explorer and requested official pool to cover costs of servers and to support development time.

• Mobile wallet development not started and may be delayed, even tough wrapping Web Wallet as apk would be simple.
• Desktop wallet development has been started, may be delayed.
• Translation layer and web wallet integration has been started and will not be delayed.
• Testnet feedback guide will be written once I setup wiki.

Expansion of exchange and pool availability is always in our minds.

✅ We are thinking Q3 to be about development of market place for spending and earning HTN. This would allow selling digital and physical items around the world. The only currency used would be HTN. Though this is what we are thinking. The plan will solidify by the end of Q2.

The first quarter of 2024 is only about launching the network.

• Generate Genesis block. ✅
• Write the whitepaper. ✅
• Launch announcement!. ✅
• Create Logo. ✅
• Create Discord server. ✅
• Create website landing page. ✅
• Create Social Media accounts. ✅
• Create Stratum bridge. ✅
• Publish whitepaper. ✅
• Do the premine. ✅
• Launch DNS Seeder. ✅
• Launch Rest API. ✅
• Launch Explorer. ✅
• Launch Web Wallet. ✅
• Write tutorial mining with node. ✅
• Write tutorial for mining with stratum-bridge. ✅
