So...

A patient in my town went to the doctor last week and said: Doctor, Doctor!... I'm scared of Santa

After much analysis, the Doctor responds: Duh! You're obviously suffering from Claus-trophobia

Just kiddin' πŸ˜œ

But — if you have any good (...and preferably dirty) Christmas jokes, hit reply and let me know.

You might be winding down for the holidays... but that doesn't mean I am going to stop sending you Loom Updates πŸ˜‰

Devcon4 is already over... in fact, it was held in Prague almost 2 months ago.

During Devcon4, our CEO Matt and Lead Plasma Researcher (and all around handsome bastard) Georgios gave two of the most popular talks at the event.

...and if you've been paying attention to my updates — I've been promising you video replays of the presentations for a while. 

Well, my friend — today, I have some great news.

I got ya video replays of BOTH TALKS for your enjoyment.

Economics is a tricky subject.

...and a few weeks ago, I mentioned that we were working on a series of articles explaining the economics of staking and being a validator on PlasmaChain.

This is the first iteration.

If you have a background in economics (or have studied the topic extensively), I'd love to get your feedback as well.

Either way, please feel free to...

Those are all the major updates πŸ™‚


πŸ’‘ By the way, we are almost ready to release Zombie Battleground to the public. In fact, we made some short trailers (in English, Chinese, Japanese & Korean) to get the party started. Also, Neon District's R&D game Plasma Bear will soon be released on our PlasmaChain. Finally, version 2.0 of Loom SDK was also released last week. 

Happy Festivus Comrade!

Until next time...

Your friend,
