Nuggets Newsletter — Week #9: Big news on our Alpha and a postcard from Asia
This time: super-exciting news about our Alpha release — and from the Nuggets Asia Roadshow. Check it out:
Our Alpha is almost here!
We’re nearly there, everyone. We just cleared our third party security audits for the smart contract, cryptography and mobile application, which found no major vulnerabilities. Now we’re finalizing the initial release of the iOS version.
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on it, and hear what you think. As an early Nuggets supporter, your opinion means a lot. If you’d like to test the initial release, and give us your feedback, sign up to our whitelist — it opens next week.
Watch out for more details in our emails, blogs and social posts over the next few days!
From Seema in Asia
Hello all,
Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone for your continued support. We hit an amazing milestone on Telegram this week, and couldn’t be more grateful. (See the next article for details).
Right now we’re spending a few weeks touring Asia — taking in China, South Korea and Japan. Here are a few highlights so far:
Alastair kicked things off in in Hangzhou last week, where he was a guest speaker at at the China FinMaker dinner. Hosted by the Municipal Government of Hangzhou, the China FinMaker Competition is helping facilitate innovation in the financial services industry in China.
Today (Saturday 31st March), we took part in Blockchain Night Live in Seoul, sharing the stage with a host of big-name blockchain companies.
Next, it’s off to Hong Kong for the Crypto Mining and Money conference on April 3rd — another amazing opportunity to showcase Nuggets.
Watch out for another update next week!

Telegram: 2k to 20k
Just four weeks ago we celebrated hitting the 2,000 member mark on Telegram. This week, that number topped 20,000 — and counting!
We always knew this would be a busy time for Nuggets, but we’ve been blown away by this unbelievable growth in the community: more than tenfold in a little over 20 days!
If you’re (one of the few!) not on Telegram yet, join the conversation here.
Alastair on The Block
Following on from Seema’s blog last week, Alastair has written an article about the Cambridge Analytica and Facebook incident for The Block.
As Alastair says in the piece, the ability to to build a more decentralised future with blockchain technology means that ‘…society is beginning to understand who should be the ultimate custodian of an individual’s information: the individual themselves.’
Choose your favourite meme!
A few weeks ago we launched a competition to see who could create the best meme, illustrating their life before and after Nuggets.
We had a fantastic response, and have narrowed it down to the best 14 entries. Check them out here and vote for your favourite. Don’t wait too long though — voting closes on Monday.
