Hello everyone!

Today was the last day of our hardening sprint so as stated in the last community update "Part of the new structure is the post-sprint community updates which sum up what was achieved and what we will be tackling next. Each sprint is 15 business days so about 3 weeks calendar time."

So here it goes!

Last Sprint

• Updated the wallet UI to dynamically reflect changes to Muse account information
• Patched the wallet - including error some encountered when creating a new account then not being able to login
• Secure access to Rights Management Portal was tested and verified
• Verified that existing Musers can log into RMP
• Verified that all metadata inputted to the RMP is saved to the Muse Blockchain. This Milestone is HUGE for us but it gets better.
• Verified that the PeerTracks web app retrieves metadata from the Blockchain when a Muser listens to something (also huge haha)
• Verified that PeerTracks' Muse account can publish real time spins to the Blockchain. This means that when a Muser listens to Song X on PeerTracks, the web app tells the Blockchain what was spun/played by whom! The music world now has a transparent, accurate and tamper-proof record of what transpired... in real time! Pretty happy about that one too :) What an awesome job by the team! <3
• Next we ensured that the correct Musers were in fact paid for the spins that were reported by the PeerTracks account
• Witnesses began publishing Price Feeds for the Muse Dollar. Go Witnesses! (Check out this post to begin publishing your own price feed: https://steemit.com/muse/@davidguo/tutorial-muse-witness-price-feed-publishing
• All this means we can begin our invite only Alpha release of the RMP. )

Eye candy

Below are some pics for you to gaze upon. This is no longer a theoretical, pie in the sky, project. Both the RMP and PeerTracks interact with the live Muse chain.

Shown above is some content posted to the Muse chain via the RMP.

Here is the "PeerTracker" account reporting to Muse what was streamed on the PeerTracks music streaming web app.

Above are some Muse Dollars going to the rights holders of the (fictitious) content that was streamed on the PeerTracks platform.

A glimpse into the PeerTracks App pulling data from Muse.

Now we polish, test, and market!

In other news!

• CoinMarketCap.com finally updated all the info regarding the Muse chain
• We have an industry expert working with us to review the RMP and Smart Contract. He is also assisting with the new white paper. His input has been extremely valuable so far. I will make a separate post just for this.
• We are also conduction UX tests on the wallet to see if complete newbies are able to navigate this foreign crypto world. This will spill over to this upcoming sprint.

What's next

The next sprint isn't defined in detail yet since we have a important discussion to have regarding the Smart Contract and RMP feedback we received from our experts. This might affect things in varying degrees. But what is on the list so far is: * Some testing left to do on the Management & Splits section of the Smart Contract * UX/UI styling - Set up of an overall schema for the RMP * Account Creation Verification Service - User authentication to prevent bots or Users from abusing the system * DevOps Guide round 2 - Incorporate feedback from V1 and add in detail guidelines to high-level overview * Allowing users to log into PeerTracks with their musername. Peertracks users must have a “musername” in order to stream content. This means just one username and password for the wallet, RMP and PeerTracks app.

That's it people! The big takeaway is that we have a working system and are in the polishing phase!

Q2 is going to be a Blast :D
