Hi all, just to update you... we are still alive. We have had little press coverage recently from the SDF about the SBC programme:
https://mailchi.mp/stellar/stellar-roundup-march-2019

To update those still following, we've just completed week 3 and it has been intense but very productive.
Stay tuned, more to come.

    So we have pivoted a bit away from the B2C approach to the B2B approach to gain a bit of traction first under the wings of a few much larger institutions who want to test the platform with us through the accelerator.

    We are pushing the development of our API tools and some example applications out via the Odyssey Hackathon in Groningen from next week.

    and we will push on to refine the proposition and to gain pilots and partnerships to push this to the world.

      We didn't win our category but we have managed to create our Public API and are in talks with a few banks in the Netherlands about running pilots of the platform this summer.

      We were recruited by one Incubator after the event and have received an expression of interest from Yes! Delft so we are following up on these. We are also in discussions with one of the other startups from our track in the hackathon about integrating support for their hardware wallet into our platform through the new API so that is quite exciting.

      Additionally, we have been accepted into the Money20/20 Startup Academy so will be attending the event in June.
      We also pitch at the Holland Fintech Meetup here in Amsterdam on Friday so I will update on how that goes.

          I've sent the request for getting invitation, but still got no answer. Is it okay?

            bitcoingold1234 Have a look at your Spam/Junk/Bulk mail folders just in case. From our end, everything is working just fine afaik.

              hatter changed the title to Announcing paywith.glass - Transaction Infrastructure as a Service [TIaaS] .

              hatter Awesome! I wish you expand your business all over Europe
              I think Money20/20 might be a very promosing event in terms of meeting potential clients

                  So we have had our Startupbootcamp Demo Day which was quite a success.

                  We have produced our first promo video, this is the full length cut and we are fund raising from the end of June 2019.

                  Have a look at the video here and let me know your thoughts:
                  This is the first cut (full length) and there will be shorter edits for our new site and for other uses.

                  We are considering the use of a voice actor although early feedback is divided. Some believe a voice actor will cost us the emotion that comes with narration by a founder, others think a voice actor brings more professionalism, let me know what you all think.

                  Hi all, just to update those who are still following our progress, we are hard at work refactoring the core code of paywith.glass and have already implemented a few security enhancements at the design level in the process.

                  There is more to come including a a few non-blockchain database enhancements that will see improved security and performance of the legacy database that resides under the hood alongside the Stellar DLT integration. We will keep everyone posted on the progress and will be making announcements of our first pilot partners in the coming weeks.

                    hatter I enjoyed reading your story here. Great example of where hard work and determination can lead. Keep up the work and please continue to keep us posted. Your project sounds promising.

                        samuelconner Thank you @samuelconner .

                        We are making great progress on this side despite several challenges along the way (par for the course I suppose #startuplife).

                        We have inked seven (7) Letters of Intent (LoIs) so far with financial institutions and a teleco and we go live with our first paid pilot in December 2019. Unfortunately, the terms of the LoIs prohibit us from publicly naming names until such time that we make an official announcement of the commencement of a pilot. What I can say is there is a Clearing bank among the list and one of the other institutions has a market of 14M users which we will be serving at the start of that pilot. I can not publicly say any more than than that at present but do keep an eye on this thread for more.

                        In the meantime, we are fundraising via Leapfunder so please feel free to register (it's free) and back our project for shares if you are interested. It is all coming together nicely now after a long hard road and we just need funding to get through the next phase. If anyone at Stellar is listening, we could use a little assist. Feel free to reach out via PM.

                        I am not sure if I had already announced this but we are now officially a Dutch company - Let's hear it for all of the Brexit refugees 😀

                        More information to follow, including new website launches, additional publicly listed paywith.glass validators and the severely delayed launch of our long overdue Public API, so stay tuned...
