What is in the works now and/or going to happen in near future?
(this is not even half or maybe even a quarter of what’s happening as I can’t keep up with everything!)

  1. Marketing team has started dicussions with more Chinese exchanges.
  2. Full language translation of pivx.org is in the works. (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc)
  3. Japanese community building has started. Anyone who can assist or interested in this will be greatly appreciated!
  4. Chinese community is building up nicely. Nearly 1000 members in QQ and a hongico PIVX forum. http://www.hongico.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=56
  5. Increased adoption is also being worked on constantly. Debit Cards, Gift cards (e.g. bitcart.io), Payment processors, Bill Payments etc.
  6. Zerocoin implementation isn’t a quick 1 week job. But it is progressing and our devs are making sure we get it sooner than later.
