It has been a while you haven't ear from us, we were super busy and here we are finally taking a breath to tell you what's going on `joinstr` land.

### ✅ Progress

*   Our Electrum plugin is available. In case you don't know what Electrum Bitcoin wallet is, click [here](https://electrum.org/).
    
*   Replace `python-nostr` with `nostr-sdk` (still progressing)
    
*   We finally set up our Geyser campaign to support current and future development. [Check it out](https://geyser.fund/project/joinstr) and drop some sats, it will help a lot!
    
*   Updated our landing page accordingly, [\* check it out](https://joinstr.xyz/#support)!
    
*   We moved the project back on GitHub to break barriers and enable more dev to actively contribute (it's sucks because it still a Microzoz products, anyway our main [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/1440000bytes/joinstr) code will stay available, just in case...)
    
*   We also find... well ok, we'll tell you about this next time ;)
    

### 🔮 Vision

*   Use collected funds (we reach 1M sats in 1 day, **thank you** community!) to create bounties and incentivize the community to participate and be openly involved.
    
*   Implement encrypted channels
    
*   Build web app: we have the engine ad we have the body parts, it's now time to connect the two
    
*   Build android app: same as above
    
*   Use new UI/UX for web app and mobile app
    

### ✋ Blockers

*   Events published by `python-nostr` are not getting stored by relays and started getting this warning, which might be related to [this issue](https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2680). We are not sure how to fix it in it and might need using a different [pyton library](https://pypi.org/project/nostr-sdk/) for a PoC, and change a lot of code if this issue is not resolved. Any help on this will be much appreciated.
    
*   The Electrum plugin is working but there's still a bug we are working. You free to check the code and submit your feedback, comments and pull requests.
