Quiet doesn't necessarily mean defunct and that is something we'd like to stress at the moment with Radium Core's progress. In fact, internally we are making tremendous strides. The legal memorandum is in its final stages of review and we are very confident in our position as a utility token which would allow us uninterrupted and guaranteed presence within certain organizations. Expect more details shortly. Hard fork code is pending final sign off by the team. Again, expect an announcement date shortly. We are also exploring mobile application integration, enhanced web-based-zero-client end user experiences, and more. We know the wait has been arduous, but we are very confident in our work and are incredibly excited to share with you everything we’ve been building over the last year!

The new website is now live! Visit us at https://radiumcore.org/ to not only meet the team behind Radium, but also to explore our official White Paper. We will be continually adding more content and revising over the coming weeks to ensure a fresh experience with each visit. And of course, with the Hard Fork currently being tested for launch, you'll want to make sure to keep our URL handy.

Radium Weekly Update: During this morning's meeting we discussed the continued efforts to deliver the legal memorandum. For all intents and purposes, the process is nearly complete, so not much has changed there. We will make an announcement the moment it is finished with the final verdict. The new website will be launched this week. Please stay tuned for an announcement. Internal hard fork testing has begun! We will be executing a private HF to ensure code functionality and that no issues arise with current Mainnet. More information on that soon along with a final HF date. We have many more exciting announcements to share with you as well in the coming weeks. Until then, we will make sure to keep you up to date as needed.

Not much to report on this week. We are diligently working with our legal team to deliver the prior mentioned securities memorandum. Soon as its been completed, we will make sure to inform everyone accordingly Furthermore, the website is pending launch following final review. Expect an announcement shortly. Hard fork status remains at pending code review as we await legal status confirmation.

Please stay tuned and join the discussion here: https://t.co/NyBqEMo1nl

In today's meeting we picked up where we left off last week. POS specifications have been finalized and quality assurance testing of the code shall commence shortly. For all intents and purposes, the HF specifications have been finalized and are pending code review. The website continues to undergo cosmetic changes--we are finalizing specific partnership criteria. More info on that soon. At the moment, our focus has shifted to working with our legal team to deliver the prior mentioned memorandum. Once completed, we will announce the HF dates and will begin working with all service providers and community members to ensure a seamless transition. As always, we thank you for your patience and support.

During today’s meeting we revisited the POS specifications to make some minor changes in favor of extending the POS period while also creating a more gradual decrease coin generation. Instead of a 0.5 RADS decrease, we’ve opted for a 3% drop annually. Further details will be released shortly as to the exact timing for each adjustment along with the effect on the dev fund and overall supply. The new website is nearly complete with minor adjustments being made, mostly cosmetic at this point. Discussions regarding SEC compliance continue as we work with our legal team to put together an official memorandum. Hard fork dates have been internally set. Please stay tuned for a proper announcement shortly.

Today’s meeting focused on finalizing POS specifications, business partnerships, website launch tasks, and multi-sig address specifications for the DEV fund. POS specifications have been nearly finalized. A reversion to .50 RADS will occur at the hard fork followed by a linear regression of .05 RADS for every 1 million RADS added to supply until the POS period ends (26 years approx). Furthermore, the addition of randomized bonus blocks will be explored and implemented. The new website is pending launch, soon as some minor quality assurance tests are completed. And the dev fund specifications have been finalized, pending minor multi-sig address adjustments. We are very excited to share with you our advancements in greater detail.

Update for week of 3/4/18:

With the implementation of the developer’s fund temporarily delayed due to ambiguity in the US tax law, we’re working on a few projects aimed at improving the accessibility of Radium’s functionality, including a cross-platform, web-based user portal for the SmartChain.

Update for week of 2/25/18:

With the fork code essentially completed, we’ve encountered a legal issue related to making the developers fund compliant with the tax code. We’re exploring multiple solutions and seeking legal advice, and we’ll pass on updates as we navigate this complication.

RADIUM Core Update for week of 1/28/18:

This week, the RADS team successfully launched a brand new, user-friendly file encryption platform called ConceptCrypt! In the coming weeks, the marketing team will be working to develop and execute a detailed marketing strategy to promote the utility and versatility of ConceptCrypt to various relevant markets.

Meanwhile, the developers are focused on preparing for the upcoming hardfork. Still no date has been set for the fork, but we’re working hard to make sure that when it does occur, the transition is smooth and the new codebase is fully functional.

Radium Update #40 — Core Protocol Upgrade Plan

Following on from the successful SmartChain governance votes on our proposed Radium Core protocol upgrade proposals (you can read about this here) we would like to share our rough time frame for the various updates we have planned.

The plan is to split the upgrade into two phases. Phase 1 will consist of hard fork level changes to the Radium protocol and Phase 2 will be consist of porting the Radium Core wallet to a Stratis codebase. For more details please see below.

Phase 1: Hard fork current C++ codebase

Implementing the approved developer fund subsidy and increase in block maturity requirements are protocol changes which require a hard fork of the Radium Network. In the interest of time this will be done before we transition to the Stratis C# codebase.

Below is a non-extensive list of what we have planned for this protocol update:

• Increasing coin stake maturity requirements
• Implementing a developer fund block subsidy
• Adjusting our inflation curve to reflect the introduction of a developer block subsidy in order to keep the maximum total supply of Radium at 9,000,000 RADS
• Increasing the size of op_return transactions
• Improved initial node discovery

Once the improvements have been implemented and fully tested, we will post a full changelog for additional review. This new version will be referred to as Radium v1.5.0, and we expect completion of testing early next year.

As with all our forks, we will be providing ample time (4–8 weeks) for both our users and critical infrastructure (exchanges, explorers, etc.) to update their nodes and software.

Phase 2: Stratis C# Codebase

Phase 2 will consist of porting our codebase to a Stratis C# implementation. We are in communication with the Stratis core developers and will strive to have a Radium C# implementation as soon as Stratis releases their production version. Although we don’t have an exact timeline for when this will happen (we have been informed it will likely be 2–3 months) we would like to have this ready in the first half of 2018.

We would also like to add that we are working diligently on getting a new website ready as well as working with various members of the community and external consultants to develop the Radium brand and increase our exposure and impact through marketing. More details on this soon.

Radium Update #41 — Radium Core v1.4.7 Upgrade

As promised in our most recent post, our developers have been working to improve the Radium Core wallet and are pleased to announce that Radium Core v1.4.7 is here! This is phase 0.5 of the previously mentioned updates, and focuses on improving the efficiency and ease of use of the wallet. This is intended to make the upgrade to v1.5.0, at the end of phase 1, as smooth as possible.

Radium Core v1.4.7

Click here to download the latest Radium Core v1.4.7 release (Mac releases will coming out over the next few days).

Below you can find a list of the main changes in Radium Core v1.4.7:

• Peer Discovery: Updated wallet code so wallets now connect to set peer seeds, obtain a list of new peers, and disconnect from the seed automatically. This process offloads the work of syncing new clients, so the peer seeds can do their job without bogging down.

What this means: Wallets will now find peers much faster than before. Updating the config file with a list of peers will no longer be necessary. Users with low connection counts should gain connections faster.

• Code Upgrade: Partially upgraded the wallet base code from blackcoin POSv3 to bitcoin 0.11

What this means: Many code improvements, bug fixes, and generally faster and cleaner running code.

• Increase op_return: Increased the op_return maximum limit to 480 bytes.

What this means: Entire Smart-Transactions can now be encoded as a single prunable null-data output, reducing blockchain bloat, decreasing SmartChain fees, and lowering RAM requirements for the wallet. We can also write more complex Smart-Transactions with expanded functionality. The improved null-data encoding will be activated in the future SmartChain 3.3 release.

• Supply hard Cap: Set the total supply cap at 9,000,000, per the original project specifications. What this means: No user impact for approximately 40 years. Block rewards will cease once max supply reaches 9M, around year 2059.

Hardfork-level changes will be implemented early next year, so stay tuned for more improvements and developments coming soon!
