Development

• The next BRS core wallet update is nearing completion.

Marketing

• PoCC spokesman Rico666 unveiled a focused marketing plan: a global Burst sticker drive.
  • Broadly speaking, participants will purchase 200 sticker lots for 1000 Burst and then paste them around their city, in non-obtrusive ways.
  • The goal is 50k stickers in 500 cities.

    • participating people: 23

• Reddit user u/Tank-72 posted a thread rekindling the idea of a mining pool that would be used to build a marketing fund.

Websites

• A new article, Burst- the most innovative technology in coin industry, was published on cxihub.com. It touches on the energy efficient nature of Burst and goes into some depth about how Proof-of-Capacity works in Burst.
• The Burst Wiki continues to evolve. The Qbundle guide was updated this week, thanks to Dan_Dares, Feyd, and Umbrellacorp03.

Other

• Well known community member, Nixops, has sent the first ever Burst transaction over radio.
  • The transaction on the block explorer 
  • Other posts about the topic can be found here…
    • Nixop’s twitter post
    • r/amateurradio – Someone’s using HAM radio to send crypto transactions
    • r/cryptocurrency – Burst Transactions over HAM radio, crypto over a mesh, self-sustainable Mobile miner
• Some attention has been drawn to Burst Mining Club’s payout scheme. Their new minimum payout delay is 80,000 BURST or 20,800 blocks. This is a further increase over what had been set earlier this week. It is strongly recommended to move to another pool, and as with any pool, use is at your own risk.

Conclusion

Only one more week of Summer. It is time for all of us to kick back into overdrive and bring Burst to the masses. If you are unsure of how to help, dont hesitate to ask. Burst is a community owned project and has to be supported from all sides. As the reports are showing, work is picking up at a very encouraging pace. I look forward to seeing what the last quarter of the year has in store for us.

A big thank you to Tom for the honor of filling in while he is away, he will be returning next week. I hope I have done the weekly report justice, and kept the readers happy. So long!
