"Mercury" release slated for late 2018

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and will be the title for the first RChain Platform release in which developers will be able to start writing smart contracts with. 

The exact date will be announced after the securing of current investment prospectz. The Platform WBS document highlights the sequence of RChains development moving toward Mercury and beyond. Feedback is welcome. 

For those pioneers that aren't afraid of flying too close to the sun, the platform components will be available to engage with prior to mercury release but do not perform mission critical tasks.

Continuing the search for platform developers

A lot of great candidates have shown their interest in helping to build the Platform. We have now engaed a fellow seattle developer to pick up work on the comms. We are still fielding and interviewing for the following. 

     - Language developer

     - Cryptographer

     - API developer

     - Contract developers

Email jobs@rchain.coop if you are qualified and interested

Collaborate with RChain

Asides from helping with development directly, you can converse about RChain on slack and collaborate on github

HJ has been forging forward the process for "Activists" to become "Contributors" and recieve RHOCs for their involvement. 

Also, experiments with mattermost will take place in order to provide a fluid channel for combined chat and project management moving forward and details on related bounty programs will be released within the coming weeks. 

Keep engaged in the conversations around cooperative activisim every Wednesday at 10AM(PDT) before the community debrief. 

Cheers!
