I've scrolled through the code. Seems to be really good Typescript/Javascript code. The documentation is also not bad. The guys are awesome!

FOMOOOO
34
atm the price even dropped :/
11
What do you expect 5 dollars after 24 minutes of a bi weekly update ? 😒 relax we didn’t even get started yet.
24
No I expected $100
28
100 dollars would put us at a 66,000,000,000 billion market cap. Hmmmm maybe the next update?
12
All memes aside, I actually do think REQ could hit $100 within a decade or so. That's about a $60 billion market cap, which is on par with PayPal which it's trying to disrupt.

man chill i just wanted to answer a FOMO comment :D

It will be FOMO pretty soon

I have a question. Does anyone have a timeframe for when the mainnet will be released? Like is this a Q1 project or a by the end of January thing or is it a HODL till summer type of deal? I recently dumped all my REQ gains into Stellar because I want to make some quick action to afford more REQ, but I'm worried that I won't be able to actually make a profit doing this if I wait in Stellar for too long :/
1
Mainnet could be any day starting from today and until March 31st I believe. I was a day trader myself until I Found REQ. It’s just too scary to let go off this coin. I’m actually thinking of acquiring more. Call me crazy but my portfolio is 100% REQ.
2
Waiting for my coin base usd to clear. Keep that price low for about another 4 days then let's go.

You guys are great! Bringing the future in at a pace that makes yesterday seem like a hazy dream. Spreading the word in Norway and on the internets. This project is so elaborate i tend to tell people to read up on you themselves.
All the best of luck in all your lives and goals and thank you for expanding the flower web in the sky.

Nice update!
24
I work as a js dev for my day job. This code is solid.

Delivering again as promised. Awesome job team!

Great update and awesome release! Love this team!

The management of other cryptocurrencies is the second foundation of
the nextthis quarter. This means you can create, send, and pay a request not only in ETH but also inBTC and any other ERC-20 token.
So, you moved one milestone of Q1 to Q2 ('next quarter') or did I misunderstand? I thought fiat was in Q2 but you also moved other cryptos into Q2? Or is it just other than BTC/ERC-20 cryptos?
They updated the text to make it clear! Thanks guys!
21
It should be "this quarter" indeed (it's for Q1), we will correct asap. Thanks
27
Thanks! Are all crypto currencies supported or only BTC/ERC-20 tokens? When would others be supported?
8
We'll get there! One step at a time, surely improving and integrating cross-chain currencies. Personally hoping to see all the alts as possible.
On the excellent side of this - you pay an Invoice with your ERC20 assets soon. Instead of liquidating a portion of your holdings in advance for ETH you can send equivalent value from your token stack.
9
Our idea is to create a documentation and then anyone can build an oracle and add new cryptocurrencies while we focus on developping the protocol
3
I think they started working on the text in December which caused this timeline mistake. :P
6
I understood this to mean that "the next quarter" is referring to the one that just started. So ETH/BTC/ERC20 payments in Q1, fiat >=Q2.
5
What about all the other cryptos? Must be somewhere between Q1 and Q2 I guess.

I have been waiting for this, it's gonna be huge for us!
18
This is the most excited I’ve been about a project. Well done REQ team
18
Good update with good vibes ! Happy new year to all he team and thanks for bringing us some good updates ! Can't wait to see the Great Wall, one of the 7 wonders of this world !
13
Once they start announcing partnerships with businesses... lambo time
12
No hype, just tedious development.
That's why I'm still here after 1200% in profit.
11
i love you REQ keep working Soon to the mooooon :D

I turned my last LTC into 330 REQ this morning. I was on the fence between REQ and XRB, but this kind of transparency put REQ over the top for me.
9
LTC is gonna be killing it here in the near future hopefully you don't regret it. REQ is awesome but LTC product/usage is coming out sooner
-8
I'm sure LTC is going to do well this year, but I am happier with all the different alts that I was able to get than I would have been with my 4 LTC.
I've missed out trying to play the guessing game of which crypto is going to run first, then buy back into another, and I've learned that 1. I suck at fortune telling and 2. I'm much happier holding coins I believe in rather than trying to trade up. I sold 3/4 of my TRX last week to buy in to XLM and stock up on extra XRP thinking TRX had another month or two before it took off. I've made out well on XLM and XRP, but not as well as I would have if I'd left it all in TRX for the short term. Now I hold all 3 plus REQ and I'm good with that because I believe in all 4 projects. I cannot say the same about LTC.

XRB could eclipse litecoin though.

My jaw dropped when I saw the use case video, REQ is going to be huge and I’m going all in

This the start of the ecosystem - all future extension layers, machine interaction and software integrations are because of this JavaScript Library. In years time, you can point to the January 5th release date as the start of it all, when shit got real and the room got serious.
Everyone can use this Library to develop their own use into Request. This is how the upcoming project "Pay with Request button" will be completed. It's the accounting software, the reporting, the apps to interact with your smartphone and Internet of Things.
We're doing it. This Library is the toolbox with which we'll light up the Request Network.
#Not Just a Whitepaper with an MVP
Everything is on track, on schedule.
GG to teh team now in Singapore, say hello to the Kyber Team for us all.
Solid update from the team and about what I expected. They're continuing to grind along and work toward the mainnet release. Expected the JS Library release, which is awesome.
Very, very excited for where we're heading this year.
