We’ve seen your feedback, you voiced that we can improve our communication. That’s why I am here, please talk to me or Phabc on the slack, and we will aggregate all questions/issues and will move forward on solving them. Also starting next week, apart from Medium or Slack, we will continue to reach out via other channels like twitter, bitcointalk, telegram and reddit, which will allow us to interact with the community more. As far as our communications go, we are promising an update once a month on the first day of each month, with occasional additional blog posts in between, once something newsworthy happens. Also we might experiment with different communication formats — like live videos from time to time, allowing everyone to get up to date on a different level.
