Happy Friday, folks! Below is the bi-weekly update on what Ditto’s been up to the past two weeks and what’s coming in the next two weeks.
What we’ve been up to the past two weeks
- Officially welcomed cryptoleslie , former Forbes contributor who has written about Decred in the past, to the Ditto-Decred team. Please give her a warm welcome!
- Final preparations for Atomic Swap, co-hosted by Ditto and The Block next Wednesday, May 15. Decred is providing swag bags + T-shirts, and the event will be attended by 7-10 Decred folks, plus 150-200 others, e.g. big names like Nic Carter, Peter McCormack, Murad Mahmudov, Chris Burniske, etc. Looking forward to meeting jz Dustorf jy-p anshawblack akinsawyerr and others in person!

- Facilitated Murad’s appearance on Cheddar TV, where he mentions Decred at 2:07. An important milestone for mainstream business exposure: https://cheddar.com/media/after-40-million-hack-bitcoin-climbs-to-6-000-for-the-first-time-this-year
- Facilitated a mention of Decred in Forbes (more mainstream coverage!), where Murad is quoted: “While Bitcoin has been outperforming altcoins since April, I think altcoins which have tracked BTC movements most closely are the ones being accumulated by 'Smart money' investors and VCs: coins like Decred, Tezos, and Monero.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/cbovaird/2019/05/10/why-is-bitcoin-leaving-top-cryptos-in-the-dust/#25e10e9e5110

- Hosting a Ditto-Decred AMA next Friday, May 17 at 12 PM EST. This will be a livestream where we answer the questions dropped into reddit. We’ll share that link out on reddit and Matrix so folks can follow along, and will also record in case anyone can’t watch live.
- Putting together an updated Politeia proposal for continued work with Decred. Ditto’s contract ends on May 31, so we’ll draft a refreshed proposal based on the community’s feedback and the AMA. We aim to submit that proposal roughly by the end of the month.
- Putting final touches on the staking byline and preparing to submit it to a media outlet for publication.
