In this past month we have been working on creating a market maker for $ARRR trading. A new initiative for $ARRR based e-commerce is also underway. 

As a founding partner of the BPSAA, we have been contributing to the efforts of establishing the BPSAA as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a strong advocate of online anonymity and financial privacy. So we have put together a few basic steps on how to preserve privacy and anonymity online.

Pirate Chain announces the release of Skull Island the world's first z-z (shielded transactions)-only mobile Android wallet, with massive help from the community and Zero's Lead Developer CryptoForge.

It is typically very difficult to integrate zk-SNARKs shielded transactions into most platforms. Most projects choose both transparent and shielded addresses/transactions to ease integration; however, in this way, privacy becomes an optional secondary feature. 

Pirate Chain has always taken the stance that Privacy by Default is the only viable option, and that Optional Privacy is Not Private at all. This is why our blockchain is 99% shielded, with the remaining 1% being transparent block rewards for on-chain audit.

The ViewingKey feature ensures that users can have visibility of a wallet but cannot spend the amount in it. A feature that could have multiple uses, as an example an organisation that is fundraising into a wallet and wants 5 different people to have oversight of the balance. It can be used as a form of accounting system too.

Using the ViewingKey for a z-address, a user can verify if that z-address has payments sent to it and to monitor the balance, but they wont be able to spend it.

We are thrilled to announce that due to the very kind contributions of the Komodo community, our ex-captain Fishy and the pirate fleet we have now already started work on integrating i2P into the komodo codebase. 

Whilst not all the amount has been raised yet, radix42 was kind enough to commence work anyway.

So from everyone in the Pirate community a big THANK YOU.

Hey All! 

We will be fundraising throughout the entire Komodo Ecosystem to get the funds needed to bring I2P to Komodo, which can be integrated into all Komodo Ecosystem projects after Komodo's implementation! 

We are looking to raise .8 BTC (we already have the devs on hand)! 

Please consider donating as this is beneficial to everyone:

BTC: 1NPDRvwb1xrrjsZ54UiUXir1ceTyhUxMov 
KMD: RN7RBFrBhmmYqpveYpttrJ9dzw3HpGH7BK

It has come to our attention that the Tor project is in serious need of funding. Since our views of privacy are aligned, we believe it's in our interest to raise funding for them.

We support other privacy organisations with similar goals to us with the hope that in the time of need, they will also support us in our quest for financial freedom.
