Dentacoin Weekly Updates: 1-8 Dec 2017

Dear supporters,

Driven by the willingness to engage our community even more, from today on we will keep you updated with our progress on a weekly basis. The purpose is for everyone to be aware of the most important activities around Dentacoin through a short blog post, even if they are not members of our Slack channel.

The long-term success of the Dentacoin project is measured solely by its real-world adoption which in turn is defined by: 1) the development of the Dentacoin tools, their constant improvement and user acquisition; and 2) the development of the Dentacoin Partner Network. Therefore, our weekly updates will always be focused on these factors.
