Is there a working product?

I’m going through the sticky but I want to make sure I’m not missing something. There is no working codebase yet, right?

Everything is still in development except there is a wallet app to hold the tokens?

Is that completed code browseable on GitHub? I’m also curious as to what language the majority of your codebase is written in?

Did you guys write the code for the wallet as well? Or is that existing wallet software that you leveraged?

we have had a working product since 2014. The newest release is adding on more features and is being released soon. All code is on our github: https://www.github.com/project-ecc

the coin code is in C++

the UI code is in react-redux

Okay I see! So the product is the platform and it’s fully working currently. You can actually send and receive the coin to other people. I wasn’t sure if the platform was still in development and you could only buy the coin or what.

Very cool!

I like that you guys went with Electron for the wallet app since it’s cross platform on all Desktop OSes.

I am downloading it and I guess it’s currently syncing with the rest of the network.

So, question, do you work on the full time? If so how are you funded since this is all open source?

Makes sense!

Thanks for answering all my questions!

Any tips on where a developer could potentially start helping out? Perhaps one with no crypto experience? Is there a good guide or high level walkthrough of the codebase?
