Reddcoin Roadmap 2016-2017

Executive Summary During the summer of 2016, Reddcoin saw a major update to the network through the release of the v2.0 Core wallet. Features included in the release pave the way for Reddcoin to be made more accessible and to encourage widespread adoption. V2.0 also introduces several security fixes, notably the enforcing of strict DER signatures and validation rules (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal – BIP66). The code base has moved from Litecoin, with Reddcoin becoming a fork of Bitcoin, based on the v0.9 branch. This grants Reddcoin direct access to upstream features and fixes coming from Bitcoin development. With this major work now complete and adoption of v2.0 steadily increasing, the attention of the Reddcoin team now turns to the road ahead. Beyond developing a blockchain, the team is planning a broad ecosystem of applications that will realise the vision of Reddcoin – the Social Currency. This document presents the 2016-2017 roadmap detailing Reddcoin development goals and objectives over the next 18 months. The outline of core objectives are made along a timeline with milestones to measure and validate healthy progress. Reddcoin Status Report Over the past year there has been significant work done at the Core wallet level to provide a stable blockchain ready to support various applications and features as development continues. Upgrades include a rebase from Bitcoin Core, the inclusion of strict DER signatures to further secure transactions and close possible attack vectors (BIP66), the ability to store data on the blockchain through OP_RETURN with a 80-byte limit, as well as numerous security upgrades and bug fixes taken from Bitcoin Core. Over the past 18 months, additional infrastructure has also been implemented and planned (new DNSSeed node, new Electrum server nodes, implementation of testnet network). As features continue to be added further extensions of infrastructure will be required. While the core team will provide some of this infrastructure, the broader community will also be encouraged to become involved. The core team will be available at all times to provide guidance if requested. The Reddcoin team maintains a strong proactive attitude. Contact is being made and maintained with third-party teams who are planning or who have already implemented various services for Reddcoin. For the long-term viability of the project, it is essential to engage with other groups who have taken or who will take the time to support Reddcoin in their endeavours. The Reddcoin team has been engaging with the broader community and working with local groups in non-English speaking locations to establish local (non-English) information portals. Recently both the Chinese and Italian Reddcoin communities have launched websites, forums and blogs. The next priorities aim to expand the functionality of Reddcoin while maintaining the integrity of the Core software and blockchain. The team will continue to forge relationships with the broader community as it identifies possible collaborative exercises. Regular updates will be made by the team to keep the community informed about ongoing development. The focus is on building an ecosystem that reaches beyond the blockchain. One that allows Reddcoin to operate on a flexible platform which the average person is able to use to earn support and to show appreciation. As it builds Reddcoin into a resource through which to express appreciation the Reddcoin team is working to make adoption easy for the broader community and the average social network user. Reddcoin Fund Raising Maintaining and developing Reddcoin as a global digital currency incurs various regular and one-off expenses. The Reddcoin team now accepts donations from the community to help cover the ongoing cost of hosting servers, operational expenses, advertising, developer support and special promotions. Reddcoin donations received are hosted at the following addresses, which are also enabled for staking. Community support of Reddcoin via donations is appreciated and useful.
