Nano Digest: V25 Release, a new team member, News Page launched, and more!

Wed Jul 12 2023

It has been a busy quarter, not just behind the scenes at the Nano Foundation but across the sector and in all our own daily lives with the cost of living crisis expanding making life even more difficult for people globally. We are reminded in times such as these of the importance and need for decentralised digital currencies such as nano and how they could tangibly change the world for the better!

So as usual, ignoring the market-noise - let’s dive into the huge amount of updates, news and community actions that are the backbone to the nano ecosystem.

V25 is live!

We are very excited to say that V25 Daric is Live! This update complements the earlier released V24 Siglos update and completes this two-pronged update to the nano node software. It includes several great improvements to the node software that increase performance and security. Several changes were made to the nano node software, introducing the Ascending Bootstrapper feature, optimistic elections, continuous backlog population and more. A subsequent V25.1 patch was released not much later fixing a minor RPC call bug.

Read the full article announcing V25 Daric here.

In the graphic above, it is clearly visible that the V25 Daric update has had a significant positive impact on network throughput as quorum was reached. For node operators that have not updated to the latest version V25.1 yet, we strongly recommend all node operators to upgrade.

News Page launched
We are very happy to have yet another dynamic and useful addition to our nano.org website - the News Page! Here, all news around nano can be easily linked and filtered, making it a great way to show the amazing things happening with nano and the Nano Foundation, or for those searching for specific types of news such as events, media or development.
The page also gives you the ability to filter on time frames, making it easy to see what has happened in the past 3 months, past half year, or past year!

Check out the News Page here.

Luckily all the items have a shareable icon meaning that it is even easier to share the latest news with your own communities.

Community Programme update and a new NF member

Since launch 2 years ago, the Community Programme has seen more than 20 enthusiastic Ambassadors, Community Managers and Moderators volunteer their time to keeping the nano community channels clear and safe while working tirelessly to grow the community whether through adoption or localised community endeavours.

Having listened to the community over this time and the need for a more interactive programme bridging the gap between the community and the Nano Foundation, we have decided to evolve the programme with some new additions to the team!
Title of the Twitter Space (16)
We are overjoyed to announce that Vini Barbosa has joined the team as a volunteer taking the role of Community Lead while Aneena, using her experience having led the programme since inception, moves into creating and building a newly focused Nano University Programme.

The Community Programme
Lead by Vini moving forward, the Community Programme will have two different branches, which we are now calling: ‘Presences’:

Online Presence, through our Digital Teams and Content Creators;
Local Presence, through Events and Circular Economy Projects.

Ambassadors, Community Managers and Moderators will be able to build their online and local presences, while contributing to the nano ecosystem, education, and adoption; with tasks well aligned to their personal profile and skill sets.

We will have a higher focus on creating nano-based local circular economies in countries, towns, cities, villages, or neighbourhoods. And this will happen through education, workshops, contacting businesses, onboarding users, participating in events, hosting meetups, establishing contact with local press, etc.

The Community Manager (CM) role was also redesigned, after considering the feedback of our CMs, that will have a higher focus on creating and managing action-guided teams for different tasks. More information will be shared in the following days, including a new application form to the Programme.

Talking about feedback, the Community Programme, as long as the Community Lead position, will both aim to have a closer relationship within the nano community. Making sure there is a clear communication line, and a mutually collaborative relationship between action-guided community contributors, and the Nano Foundation.

Having experimented with alternative platforms to house the programme activity, we also have decided to move back to Discord. There so, Ambassadors, Community Managers and Moderators will have private channels to communicate, as long as new exclusive activities such as trainings, workshops, and lectures, aiming to increase their results, while representing the Nano Community worldwide.

The Nano University Programme

Community (5)
Lead by Aneena, who herself is an Assistant Professor and Academic Researcher outside of her nano life, aims to create through this new programme an inclusive and supportive environment where the academic community can actively participate and contribute to the nano ecosystem. It is an initiative designed to empower students, developers, and researchers to explore, learn, and build on nano.

If you are at all curious to find out more about the two different programmes and would be interested in lending your time, passion or skills to one of them, please get in touch via info@nano.org or send an email to Community Lead Vini Barbosa (vini@nano.org) or to Nano University Programme Lead Aneena Ann (aneena@nano.org)

Besides the Community Programme and University Programme, there are other ways to contribute to the nano ecosystem as well. For instance, you can contribute to our Nano Blog, help develop the nano node software development through C++ contributions and even contribute to the network without knowing C++ at all!

Team Changes

So as you have read above, all very exciting news! Not only are we saying a big warm welcome to Vini joining the Nano Foundation team, we have Aneena moving into the role of Nano University Programme Lead.

We have another change to announce and that is officially saying goodbye to Xavier, our long-standing designer at the Nano Foundation. Xavier stepped away last year due to a family tragedy and while we always have a door open to him to rejoin the team, the time has come to remove him from the website. As most of you are aware, Forest stepped up to the design board to fill this gap and has been evolving our designs ever since.

Partner news

Businesses and organisations embracing nano are continuously progressing. As new partnerships form and more entities integrate nano into their operations, those already on board are refining their integrations and expanding their capabilities. Our partners actively contribute to raising awareness and disseminating information about nano, both within the crypto space and beyond. They are committed to advancing nano's adoption and fostering its growth.

Additionally, Binance is pivoting to become more of a crypto-only exchange as most USD pairs are removed and the XNO/USDT pair added instead. Read more about it here.

Nanogram.ai development shelved
Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the community developer known as nano2dev has indefinitely paused the development of the nano-based social media platform Nanogram.ai. Meanwhile, the developer is working on several other projects such as https://nano.to, https://nault.pro, and https://xno.social.

WeNano & WeNano Business Updates

WeNano has recently pushed an update for both WeNano Business and WeNano that mostly focuses on how businesses can promote themselves, receive payments and connect with WeNano users. They have also pushed some minor updates focusing mainly on the map for WeNano. If you zoom out on the map, you will see the most recent new Spots added to the map, and also any Spots that are active/trending right now. They are also working on some other fun new features related to the map and users, but will tell more about that later. With regards to the future, they hope to do some kind of promotions late summer/early autumn to get businesses to sign up and receive nano as payments.

Additionally, they added a new ‘raining nano’ feature that allows users to donate nano to up to 10 active users!

‘If there is a lot of activity within a Spot, you can now rain on up to 10 users that have been active the last hour. If there is more than 10, it will randomly pick 10 out of everyone.

You can now zoom in on any location on the map, and it will tell you if there are any active WeNano users around. It will list users that have opted to sharing their location, and their last activity was within a few days. You can then decide to rain to up to 10 randomly picked users.”

The audience were national & local government bodies, civil society, academia, as well as private sector sustainability entrepreneurs and organisations such as WWF in addition to UN Staff - everyone was really engaged, asked lots of great questions and then had a flurry of connections post talk wanting to chat further! Thank you all for the well wishes of support!

I have been approached to now to give a similar workshop/talk at the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) which I am just over the moon about (and hopefully fully secure) this would be a wonderful showcase of how nano has the potential to be incredibly helpful in crisis and disaster zones in the future.”

George Coxon at Reset Connect London

George just keeps going! She also attended the Reset Connect event in London, focused on sustainability and green investments. The aim of her attendance was to catch up with all the developments in the sustainability sector, networking, and meeting some familiar faces!

Twitter Space for Nigerian Business Owners

With the growing amount of adoption and awareness of nano in Nigeria, it was time for an awareness session targeted towards small business owners in Nigeria. Twitter Spaces was the perfect place for this as many vendors in Nigeria sell their goods or services on the popular social media platform.

Nano in Nigeria

With a lot of activity happening in Nigeria in the past few months, we’re excited to spotlight the growth of adoption and awareness about nano in Nigeria. It is great to see the progress of nano adoption and people spreading awareness about nano throughout the country. To clearly highlight the recent activities and initiatives, Pim Coffeng, Growth Strategist at the Nano Foundation, outlined a lot that has happened with nano in Nigeria in his Growth Blog. You can read it here!

Since then, a lot more has happened! Let’s dive in together!

FC Espada football match livestream on Perseeve, fundraising, and more!

FC Espada is a small local football club in Nigeria. The football club, with players ranging from the age of 8 till 18, is led by coach Bukar Beto Ismail. He first learned about nano through a friend who introduced him, and decided to start a fundraising campaign in order to buy new jerseys, equipment, footballs and more for the kids. Check out the amazing nano-branded jerseys here.

But the coach and FC Espada team did not stop there. The team decided to also participate in the Nano Football Challenge where their 13 year-old star player Adura was able to hold the highscore of 121 bounces for quite a long time! The participation meant another Ӿ70.5 towards their fundraising goals!

The Nigerian football team, FC Espada, also did a livestream on the Perseeve app of one of their matches! Livestreaming on Perseeve was a fun and experimental next step, as this meant that they could earn nano to buy new equipment while they were playing their match, as viewers paid in nano microtransactions for every second of watching! They plan to do more livestreams on Perseeve in the future.

Would you like to learn a bit more about FC Espada? Bukar Beto Ismail, coach of the FC Espada football team, recently recorded a short video talking about the history of FC Espada, the experience so far with the Nano Community and the Nano Football Challenge, and expressing their gratitude towards the nano community for the amazing donations done so far!
It is amazing to see how the football team has been involved with the nano community since this year and were able to buy nano branded shirts, training equipment, and more through the global and fee-free nano donations from people around the world!

You are free to donate to their fundraiser on SendNano here.

Bigeria Pay launched for remittances to Nigeria
Remittances in Nigeria is a huge industry. Yearly, Nigerians send billions of dollars back home! However, there’s a high cost to sending money around the globe, and it often takes a lot of time for that money to arrive. Luckily, there’s a fast and fee-free solution: nano! With nano, people are able to send money around the globe instantly, for free. That’s why one of the major use cases of nano is remittances.

It seems that these remittances have gotten even easier now as people are reporting their experience using Bigeria Pay, a Nigerian service allowing transactions to Nigeria powered by nano with automatic swapping to Naira, which launched recently.

Praiz Ventures now accepts nano

Adoption of nano for payments among vendors in Nigeria is growing steadily as the country goes through heavy times regarding their currency. Whether you need some mobile data, shoes or bags, Praiz Ventures has got you covered. Praiz Ventures, a small business in Nigeria, has now started accepting nano for payments!

Diva’s Kitchen organised an Easter initiative to provide food for the homeless in Ibadan, Nigeria!

The Nano community showcased the true power of blockchain technology in a heartwarming initiative called #FeedTheStreet. Diva's Kitchen, a food vendor in Ibadan, Nigeria, called upon the Nano community to help provide meals for 300 homeless individuals during the Easter weekend. Through instant and feeless Nano transactions, donors from across the globe contributed generously, surpassing the fundraising target in just one week.

Donations poured in through SendNano and direct wallet transfers, ensuring that every contribution reached Diva's Kitchen without any transaction fees or intermediaries. On Easter Monday, the team prepared and distributed turkey and Jollof rice to over 300 homeless people in Ibadan.

More than 700 nano was donated by people from the nano community around the globe to feed people on the streets.

Community Action

Martin Niwamanya launched a nano outreach initiative to universities

Ugandan Community Ambassador, Niwamanya Martin, launched an outreach initiative to approach universities and inform students about cryptocurrency and nano. He has already presented at Gulu University and Muni University to spread awareness!

"It was an amazing session with Gulu University students where we started with interactive session to speak of their experiences with crypto payments and how to make nano priority as an alternative payment to traditional means.

Based on the issues raised, we started the session with discussing more about blockchain and how it is a base for fundamental change in our society. We discussed how nano would shape the future of the money economy compared to our traditional means.

We also talked of developers opportunities within nano and general blockchain space.

We commissioned the university students as foot soldiers for nano in their communities and where they should advocate for mind set change within their society, peers and general community to see crypto as future for money."

Martin has more university sessions planned for the near future and will be one of the first members of the new and soon to be launched University Programme! If you’d like to support his initiative, you can find his SendNano fundraiser here.

NanoCharts gaming demo
NanoCharts created this demo of gaming with nano, earning nano by collecting rings in Sonic! While this is not a full on game integration, it is a great way to showcase what nano could do for the gaming industry, and the amazing potential for nano when it comes to instant and fee-free microtransactions!

NanoCharts also made a proof of concept nano integration in an Earthworm Jim game. Launch a cow and get some nano!

Video about nano for microtransactions
Microtransactions are an interesting concept where people could for instance pay per page they read instead of immediately buying a whole book. Unfortunately, traditional payment methods and most cryptocurrencies don’t work for microtransactions due to high cost of individual transactions, and longer transaction times. This is why so far, microtransactions have had little traction. But that is about to change. Nano has no transaction fees, 30 decimal places, and instant transactions - nano is perfect for microtransactions!
Recently, YouTuber Jay James Invest made a video diving deeper into nano for microtransactions. Check out his video here!

Solar powered nano faucet

One of the amazing things about nano is its energy-efficiency. Nano is one of the most energy efficient ways to send and receive money globally! But did you know you can even run an entire nano node on solar power? Yes, really! Including generating the needed proof of work for transactions! James Coxon created a solar powered nano faucet using his solar powered nano node, which recently got increased payouts.

Mastodon tipping feature
The landscape of social media is rapidly changing this last year. It’s therefore great to see the nano community spread and grow on various platforms, including Mastodon. Even better, nano integrations are spreading to those social media platforms as well! Community Developer Esteban created a nano tipping feature for Mastodon.

Vyanjan QR display

As a business owner selling goods or services for nano in a physical location, it is important to make it as easy as possible for customers to make payments. Avimanyu printed a QR display for Vyanjan, making it easier for people to pay with nano for their food and drinks!

Article translation
Our newly appointed ambassador from Ukraine, Alina Dovzhenko, undertook an impressive feat of language translation, taking an article about the innovative concept of micro-tipping with nano and translating it into Ukrainian. This effort signifies a notable contribution to the global Nano community. With the power of Nano's instant and feeless transactions, the concept of micro-tipping is revolutionizing how we appreciate and reward services and content online. Dovzhenko's translation work is a pivotal step in bridging language barriers and spreading this revolution to Ukrainian speakers. The translated article now enables Ukrainians to grasp the potential of micro-tipping with Nano, opening doors for a new wave of global users. This endeavor highlights the power of the Nano community in fostering international cooperation and knowledge sharing, proving that the Nano revolution knows no borders.

WeNano Day Initiative
The Nano community, in an effort to showcase the power of blockchain technology and to assist those in need, launched a new community initiative called WeNano Day. Every last Friday of the month, the community creates WeNano Spots in a specific country. These Spots are essentially digital locations where users can collect or distribute nano, the cryptocurrency. The initiative aims to support communities and enhance the distribution of Nano on a global scale. The first WeNano Day took place in Nigeria on the 28th of April 2023. The community created new WeNano Spots and supported existing ones, allowing Nano to be shared and distributed within the country. This initiative, rooted in the power of instant and feeless Nano transactions, facilitates a global outreach, supporting people around the globe while simultaneously spreading awareness about nano's potential. With #WeNanoDay, the nano community strives to make a difference, one spot at a time!

Football challenge

Do you like to play football? Or perhaps you are in contact with your local football club? Well, keep an eye on Social Media Lead Forest Horsman’s twitter, as he recently started a football challenge where people could earn nano! The goal was to bounce a ball as many as possible on two feet within 60 seconds, paying out Ӿ0.5 per bounce to the person with the highest score, as well as a random other participant in the challenge. People could donate extra nano to a pot for the person with the highest score.
Forest Horsman’s nano football challenge came to an end with twitter user @wilding_within getting the highscore of 168 bounces, and winning a final 99 nano! The Nigerian football team FC Espada also earned 70.5 nano from the challenge, with their 13 year old player Adura bouncing 121 times in 60 seconds!

Amazing new SendNano fundraising initiatives
Since SendNano had to pivot their use case after recent twitter API changes, the focus on fundraising has been very successful, with many fundraisers popping up on the website! You can check out all the fundraisers on SendNano here.

Nano Foundation further notices

Forum Deprecation & Instagram archived
In the previous Nano Digest, we announced that the forum will be deprecated and its functionality replaced by Github.

In the theme of efficiency, we also decided to archive our Instagram profile for the time being. Besides trading and investing focused content, which isn’t what we create, Instagram doesn’t have a large (crypto)currency audience and we therefore decide that our time and effort can be better aimed towards other social media platforms.

Trustable notice from Colin and George
It is with great disappointment that Trustable as an entity is in the process of being dissolved due to a multitude of factors, not least the unclear and risky regulatory space that Trustable would reside in.

Trustable was a separate endeavour individually taken on by Colin and George to integrate nano into the banking space.

We will continue to develop the nano protocol as we have though we will refocus expansion efforts toward facilitating partners who already have a foothold in this space.

We continue to believe connecting nano with the banking system is the next logical step toward further adoption of nano and working with our partners who are doing just this will be the best way forward.
