Hii @SteveCobb ~
Outstanding report! Curious, do you guys plan to grow your Twitter following or is it more of a hub for all your updates? (cute article commentaries btw!) Would love to help! :handshake:

Oh and a quick FYI that the Community Squad is currently going through the rewards calculations this week, we’ll schedule a call with you soon :calendar: Apologies for the delay!

Thanks, JC! Pending release of our website (design done, now about to commence development), Twitter is our main interface with the world. But even after the website launches we will continue using Twitter (and Mastodon!) to tweet news items big and small, including cypherpunk-related world news that would not fit on the website. We certainly are interested in growing the following!
