CoachB and kikipluche I was informed by kingflurkel that he is no longer an active contributor in Swarm City... how does this affect the development of the project?!

There were some things mentioned in the video above, such as the Swarm City non profit Association, where can we learn more about that?Also there was a brief mention of hosting nodes... I'm very curious to learn more about that as well.

In the video it seems as though all is good in Swarm City, progress was being made and conveyed semi publically. How are things currently progressing and what is the plan forward?

I haven't seen any recent information published regarding the State of the City, and Kingflurkel suggested that I ask both of you for updates.

Interesting. The only person capable of developing in the group left that cares about Swarm City is Kingflurkel. If he leaves nothing will be done until someone/anyone with the proper skills voluntarily comes and further builds the product.
I would like to simply get back to a state where we can use Swarm City just like we presented it on put LatinAmerica Tour. But I don’t have the skills nor the funding for that.

If Flurkel leaves us now it will stay a mess. I hope he could still clean up after what he created so far and at least leave back a simple but working solution.

I hope we can

• deploy one hashtag without the bug
• open the bridge again
• release the cash set that are stuck right now

Not sure how this can be done, but having this in order would be the state I feel comfortable for Flurkel leaving. Otherwise I think we are in deep shit.

And thank you Will for being here! You're always welcome and a sight for sore eyes right about now!

Welcome back ♡

Penumbra, thank you for speaking up and for your continued support.

It really means a lot to me to have your trust and to hear your ideas about how we could realize our dream faster.

We are indeed struggling to create some things that others have successfully created already. I agree with your sentiment that we should definitely look outside Swarm City to find working solutions and to incorporate whatever we can to get a decentralized rideshare app to a deliverable state.

I've been having similar thoughts when dealing with certain user issues. I realized that wallet creation and security is not our forte. User Issues exist from the Boardwalk entry point. We've learned that ipfs hash isn't ideal for storage in our use case. I think we should consider using a secure wallet feature that already exists instead of rebuilding and rebuilding trying to get it right.

I think the particle project is a really nice example of a decentralized marketplace and that we could learn a lot from them indeed.

I know we haven't yet been successful at building our ideal Swarm City DApp however we haven't given up. It appears as though the time has come for new developers to take a swing at it with fresh eyes and ideas.

Thank you again for being here and for sharing this dream with us! ♡
