👋 It's been another packed week here... here are the edited highlights:
It looks like Ecohustler are going to be launching an app. This will be powered by API and Store, both running in the network. We expect to have the details of this fleshed out in early June.
All of the nodes flagged as needing a new SD card have now had one posted out (the final batch were posted today). The account pages for Founding Nodes have been updated to match the new device IDs and should pick them up once the new SDs have been inserted and the device powered on.
We've architected a solution to prevent issues like this happening again in future: it involves Agent on a Host performing a status check to the central network services within Stargate, which will enable the flagging of a node as non-updating and in need of a reset. In this instance Agent will remove the existing build of Host, reset itself and then proceed to download the latest version.
You can think of it as a remote reset.
There's a bunch of planning needed to flesh this out, but the network team expect to have a version available within the next month.
The latest build of the networks central telemetry service deployed successfully to test.network and will be moved to mainnet - edge.network - after a week or two of testing. This provides a greater level of insight data in to activity on nodes, which is central to the next release of the network explorer.
Chris met with a streaming media site focused on the music industry about shifting their platform to our tech and their media delivery to the network. Early days, but we have a second meeting booked for next week.
I met with an AI business focused on the lead generation space about the provision of a database and API in the network. I expect to be moving them in a trial and proof of concept in the next few weeks.
We also met with a dating business, who are looking for a new platform and who are interested in our stack and underlying network services.
Work on the PPA's own site - shifting it to our stack - is progressing extremely well and is due live in early June. It will be launched in the network from day #1.
We have a bunch of leads on the back of the PPA event last week and meetings booked with four of the world's biggest publishers to discuss our platform.
+We have the PPA awards coming up in June, which we'll be attending.
We've continued to refine and move forward the brand refresh that I've mentioned in the last few updates. I'm working to a deadline of early-mid July for launch, along with an updated site focused on network-level services ().
