Awesome Ed, thanks. We’re also working on the business website, hopefully we can launch the full website, along with our hardware POC within the month.
Our dev team is currently working with @slackware who wrote the entire go SDK for NEM and just published it last week. Congrats to him btw, it was a lot and a huge contribution to the NEM ecosystem. We’re helping him to tie up some loose ends there and then MarginX and himself will move on as a team onto the catapult SDK.
Will update soon guys. Super busy with development. We have plenty of news, just no time to write the PR. We set up our website a while ago, www.marginx.io but even that is getting out of date. Will update soon!
Not a great time for our first press release with all the election drama. Looking forward to whatever direction the new leadership will take NEM in. Here’s a brief update on what MarginX has been up to in Africa the past few weeks.
Tech update coming soon.
I don’t get why all these projects have to be punctuated with an “X”.
“X” pretty much represents a null value “a blank”, maybe I am old skool but having X this and X that…
How about “Margin-D”?
Anyway the whole “X” thing will be short lived, Iphone is currently on the “X” thing, short lived name.
Represents the eXchange. The margin you reduce your consumption by is exchanged for profit. it also would have meant we could have had a MAX token which would have been nice. Now we plan to use XEM for global payments instead so not relevant anymore. We will probably rebrand at some point, the X doesn’t do us any favors talking to officials and utilities. It’s not really a showstopper either though so no rush.
After a pretty long vetting process and many conversations with the Nem Ventures team, we have undergone a bit of a pivot, a rebrand and have been funded! We’re stoked to be building on Nem and to have the backing of Nem Ventures. The backing is about more than just the money. Many of the guys on the team have experience in areas that are specific to our company and have given us great advice and connections so far.
We’ve found a more solid landing ground in targeting energy savings in universities. Since university campuses are often microcosms of society at large, they are a great place to test and sell our system, without running the regulatory risk of our larger goals at such an early stage.
You can see the press release of the investment in the forum here here.
I will keep the community updated about our progress once every couple of months or so.
