@everyone I would like to introduce you all to a new member of the team - Cory Skinner (@Cory S).

Cory has a similar blockchain project in RoadLaunch, which focuses on putting freight on the blockchain to help streamline various supply chain logistics. He has been assisting us in various ways for some time now on the Enterprise portion of the network given his background and similar focuses and we expect this to continue on once we launch. This is part of our initiative to build a strong business unit to support the networks short and long term interests.

You can check out Cory's project at RoadLaunch.com

@everyone We are pushing ahead quickly now on final touches. Some key members are being assembled for the Enterprise side and we will be making announcements as information allows us too. Thank you all for your continued patience and support as we have all come along way together, and together we will all cross the finish line.

LH we are waiting on code from the launch team. Pinged them when we should get it. It'll be a quick turnaround and then work with Cryptopia on the date.

they provided some feedback and some things they think we should fix. I fixed some of them. Ledger stuff all stayed intact. Richy said they are working on what they are going to deliver for us. They had a release and had to focus on that. Their user base is pretty big. It's been a learning experience interacting with them.

they had an issue to fix, and now they are focusing back on us, nat has been talking with them daily in regards to the launch, we have one chance to get this right and we are not screwing it up. The time is rapidly approaching and im just waiting for them to say when.

I want to thank the Core and Dev team who have been working countless hours for almost 2 years on this project as we push towards launch. The community has really pulled together to finish this off. A massive thank you to @KarmaWolf @teela, @richyjames @gj @rhinomonkey @RzeroD @faetos @kristerv @cryptosteve @craslovell and so many others for putting in time and effort to make this a reality. The marketing team led by @cryptosteve and myself are putting in the final touches on all public materials, while other team members are finalizing infrastructure and addition of Core team members to round it all out nicely. Plenty of other goodies to be announced as the beginning of the marketing campaig… Show more

Spork has been generated. For the record I will not be holding the private key, but I will be passing the public key to the launch crew.

Congrats to @RzeroD for cementing into helium history, this will be our control key, @knout will also hold a copy and @Slacker would you hold a copy also

This is The last message I sent to phore guys: "as far as aware its the balancing + treasury and block reward that needs checking . then we can get you guys to kick it off, get cryptopia supported and thats the measure of it"
regards to windows it seemed fine from our end on testnet, retest it etc
I will give you a spork key.

-- So its upto them when they want to finish up, bear in mind the method of payment comes from launching and im sure they enjoy my chats with them but they will want to get on with other things and get this out the way.

Oct 9th is the anniversary .....keep up the good work dev’s. I myself am in the Cayman Island right now checking out banking and connecting with established Blockchain/Supplychain companies. Networking gets you places in this space and Helium is positioned well for both enterprise and partnerships moving forward.

I see the value in making these early connections worldwide with the biggest influencers in the space. Not only to ensure Helium succeeds, but myself excelling in this space moving forward. The core team is behind this 110%

ok regarding latest message goes as follows:

they will try to get the seesaw PR done in the next 2-3 days, sooner if possible. Then clear one question about treasury with graham.

Post launch when we start the r&d we will make sure there is a good dialogue so you guys can connect with prospective clients/investors. Personally I would be zero use trying to explain something to a room of people and keep their attention, so good on the team for being up for that.
