This month's delivery meeting opened with a tribute to @eynelys, our beloved and recently departed colleague. Please help to support her family at this devastating time: gofundme.com/f/eynelys-garc…
Eynelys, we love you

October was a really hard month for Panquake but we still moved forward. Below are the key campaign metrics. We are now only $23,192 away from capping Phase 2 and moving into the final BETA delivery round. Please help us get there ASAP: panquake.com/donate

In Sept we announced we'd successfully authenticated nodes on our test network & they'd sent received & verified encrypted messages. This month the rest of the authentication service functionality has been built out and tested. As promised, users can be anonymous/unregistered
4/
Every month we transparently publish our (very impressive) @tl_eng stats & metrics. ALL money earned by @talkliberation publications goes directly to supporting the @pan_quake build. So subscribing at talkliberation.com helps to bring Panquake to the world faster

Why is a software development company, spending time & energy on tech and data journalism?
Because the facility for recurring payments/revenue that talkliberation.com provides makes Panquake more sustainable & less dependent upon generosity, & for all of these reasons:

October was the launch of Talk Liberation Investigates & our flagship series #WLDragnet
We smacked straight into the tip of an iceberg & in the coming days & weeks we'll be unearthing the monolith beneath it
With your support we're going to deliver our next generation social media app to the world. Privacy, freedom of expression and data sovereignty are coming your way. We won't stop til we push through Phase 3 & have everything in place to deliver the service quality you deserve.
Thus concluded our 9th public meeting. We have kept our promise of being accountable to our community & keeping them in the know every single month as to our progress. It's amazing that what was only an idea at the beginning of this year is now becoming a reality. Thank you all!

Talk Liberation announces the transition of its flagship product Panquake from test data to real data: the user-centric, people-powered social media project isn’t just the little engine that could… it’s now the little engine that did.
The social network registered the official Panquake account on its platform & sent the first ever ‘quake’ message: a touching tribute to a team member who had always believed in Panquake but was taken too soon to share in this moment of seeing it all come to fruition
I'M BACK for the 1st time in 20 months.. but only briefly. I resurrected this account so I could hand it to my team to run.
I'll explain why in the below thread & briefly recap the last ~15 years that led to this
There hasn't been a minute that I stopped working for you all

I'll start with Panquake: it is ALIVE. Given we posted 62 campaign updates to date I assumed that was obvious but it seems Twitter's silencing of the widely followed @Panquake account really did break the communication lines with some supporters.
All the latest news & updates on PQ development progress, including the exciting announcement that we are now ready to show the world the look & feel of the PQ interface!
Follow the thread for more details:

You may have noticed the recent tweet by @JohnKiriakou endorsing PQ.
John is one of the first people in the world to see the PQ application working & described it as 'futuristic'.
It was huge for us to get to demo PQ for him in this way & we can't wait til you can see it too!
Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:
I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position
When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet
They ALL have their own slants
2/?
I also watch both left & right wing podcasts & you tube shows. I follow & watch people I like and ideologically align with AND those who I don't, every single day
Living in Russia, I also have real world experience/perspective
As for @Panquake dev progress last month we revealed our interface had functioning elements in place. This month, the core structural components are basically complete
Our drag & drop panels move around & reset correctly & are now customizable - resizable, pop-outable & more
