Administrative Report

• It is our goal to find funding and keep this project thriving and growing towards our prime goal of increasing the folding base and helping to find cures for cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Development Report

• Had discussions with Tokenly about 2019 plans and maintenance
• Tokenly will continue to maintain the XCP and MergedFolding servers
• Reached out to Kelly from Humber College and waiting for a response
• Hoping to get feedback from their usability lab to understand the troubles people have using FAH and FLDC
• Identifying if creating a capstone project is possible to provide real world experience for the students as well providing FoldingCoin with additional development and testing

Curecoin Report

• Ivans PowerPoint

Folding Club Rewards

• The bear market of December, coupled with the relocation of the CureCoin Project office to another space, did not allow us to launch a pre-Christmas contest. Ivan will settle everything in the new office and depending on the amount of donations received, we may launch another raffle in January.

Community Report

• The 2 charities that showed interest to accept FLDC, put George on hold for the moment.
• Another 2 businesses showed interest, but there will be solid news on that by March 2019.
• Outreach to businesses that already accept crypto continues. To that end, a website plugin that automatically converts FLDC to BTC for online stores, could very much help us. If anyone on the community could create something pro-bono, we would love to hear from them.
